Release notes

Prayer and adhan

• New. At prayer time, the reminder plays the opening of the adhan you chose from the pack's thirteen recordings, when notifications are allowed; your phone may delay its delivery.
• New. Five voices join the adhan pack: Mohamed Siddiq Al-Minshawi and Mustafa Ismail (Egypt), Anuar Duman (Turkey), and muezzins from Morocco and Algeria; a single download installs the whole pack, and the full adhan remains available to listen to.
• Fixed. The sound you choose for Fajr now applies to the Fajr reminder.
• Improved. Each prayer now has an end time: a prayer whose time is still running is no longer shown as past, on the Prayer screen and in widgets alike.
• Improved. For 'Isha', the screen shows the time of choice, which runs until the middle of the night.
• Improved. Prayer names are spelled the same way everywhere, and search finds them even when typed without marks (“isha,” “jumuah”).
• New. You choose the time format (your phone's, 12-hour or 24-hour), applied to prayer times, iqama entry, reminders and widgets.

Prayer location

• Improved. A suggested new prayer location now relies on several consistent GPS readings, and your confirmed location still changes only with your consent.
• Improved. If you set up the app without a network, your country and then your city are filled in from your position once a reliable name is known, never replacing what you entered.
• Improved. City names appear in the app language when the app knows them.

Zakat

• Improved. By default, cash, savings and investments are compared with the lower of the two thresholds, gold or silver, following the view of Ibn Baz.
• Improved. Debts are no longer subtracted by default, following Ibn Baz, Ibn 'Uthaymin and the Permanent Committee; the view that subtracts them remains available as an option.
• New. Each new saved calculation shows in the history the view followed on debts.

Reminders and references

• Improved. The reminder of the day reads in order: the quoted text and its source, the explanation, then the practical advice.
• Improved. In the reminder of the day, a Quranic text and a hadith are named as such, and an excerpt shows where it was cut.
• Improved. References in supplications, the glossary and the 99 Names of Allah appear in the app language, and several of them have been corrected.

Other changes

• Fixed. Several issues in exercises, reading resume and profile preferences are fixed.
• Improved. Downloads, voice search and the Quran player are improved, as are navigation, translations and accessibility.

Prayer and location

• Fixed. Prayer times now follow your device's time zone instead of universal time; the calculation, adhan reminders and widgets are corrected, and your times are recalculated when you update.
• New. A single location, the one you confirmed, drives prayer times, iqamas, reminders and widgets.
• New. When you move more than 5 km away, the app offers to update that location: accept, and everything is recalculated; choose “Not now,” and nothing changes, even on the next launch.
• New. These suggestions are optional: you turn them on in the settings, and your positions stay on the device.
• Improved. The Prayer screen shows times in a compact list and indicates the current prayer more clearly; each prayer has a button that opens its settings (reminder, adhan sound, iqama).
• New. Sunrise and the start of the last third of the night appear as time markers, separate from the prayers and without reminders.
• Improved. After a location change, prayer times, widgets and alerts are updated together, even with the app closed, and no alert for the previous city stays scheduled.
• Improved. When reminders may not arrive, the app names the phone setting that is causing it.
• Improved. Turning notification sound off now silences every reminder, not prayer reminders alone.
• Fixed. The general lead-time setting no longer appears when each prayer already has its own.
• Improved. Country names appear in the app language, and the picker searches and sorts them in that language.
• Fixed. Choosing another country clears the city field, which used to keep the previous country's city.
• Fixed. The Deen Pulse widget explains why its content is out of date after a time zone change, instead of staying grayed out.

Fasting and calendar

• New. The notification announcing a fast for tomorrow opens that day: you can say whether you plan to fast and turn on a reminder before Suhur.
• New. An optional morning question lets you update your fasting record from the notification; this preparation organizes your reminders and does not replace the intention to fast.
• Improved. Dates, fasting, prayer times, widgets and reminders share one Hijri calendar and one local offset, and changing that offset updates everything.

Home and search

• Improved. The Home screen is more compact and gives direct access to the Qibla compass.
• New. A carousel brings features together, including the 40 Rabbanas, supplications and reminders.
• Improved. General search and feature search are improved.

Quran listening

• New. Recitation keeps playing when you leave the app and can be controlled from the lock screen, Control Center or the notification shade, and your headset buttons.
• New. A recitation downloads surah by surah from the page you are reading, in a few megabytes instead of the whole pack.
• Improved. A downloaded surah plays everywhere right away, without leaving the screen or restarting the app.
• Improved. The announced size of a recitation matches what actually downloads, and each surah shows its own.
• New. You choose what playback does at the end of a surah: stop, repeat the surah or move to the next; stopping remains the default.
• Fixed. You can change reciters during playback.
• New. Saud Ash-Shuraim and Abdurrahman As-Sudais join the reciters.
• Fixed. A few surahs by Mishary Al-Afasy and Abu Bakr Ash-Shatri, at a lower audio quality than the rest, are now served at the same level as the others.
• Improved. “Choose a reciter” offers the same list everywhere, showing what each reciter can read for the surah on screen and the download size.
• Improved. When a verse's recitation is not downloaded yet, the app offers to download it, in memorization and in the audio player too.
• Improved. The Mushaf now offers audio recitation.
• Improved. Unplugging your headphones pauses playback instead of switching to the loudspeaker, and an incoming call pauses it too.
• Improved. On iPhone, starting a recitation stops any music playing instead of lowering its volume.
• Fixed. The full-screen player and the mini player show the same state at the same time.
• Fixed. Leaving the 40 Rabbanas no longer stops a recitation resumed from another screen.
• Improved. The reciter name on the lock screen follows the app language.
• Improved. Listening to a recitation uses less battery.

Voice search

• Improved. Voice search and recitation exercises handle Arabic more reliably; the result shows a text match for you to confirm, without grading pronunciation.
