How are prayer times calculated?
From the position of the sun at your location. Fajr and Isha are set by an angle of the sun below the horizon, Dhuhr by solar noon, Asr by the length of shadows and Maghrib by sunset. Different methods use slightly different angles, which is why timetables can differ by a few minutes.
Which calculation method does QiblaTrue use?
The app picks a default for your region: Moonsighting Committee with Hanafi Asr in the UK, Diyanet in Türkiye, UOIF (12°) in France, ISNA in the US and Canada, and Muslim World League where there is no regional default, such as Germany. You can switch to any of the 14 methods in the app.
Why does my mosque’s timetable differ?
Mosques may use another method, add a few minutes of caution, or publish congregation (jamaat) times rather than start times. If your mosque publishes a timetable, follow it.
How is the qibla direction found?
It is the shortest route over the Earth’s surface from you to the Kaaba in Makkah, given as an angle clockwise from true north. Each city page shows it in degrees.
Does the app work without internet?
Yes. Prayer times are calculated on your iPhone, so they keep working offline.
