Salaat First – الصلاة أولا

Salaat First is an iPhone application that accurately calculates local prayer times using multiple conventions. Developed by Hicham Boushaba, this free app falls under the Education & Reference category.

The app offers several features to enhance the prayer experience. Users can receive notifications for each prayer, with the ability to choose from a selection of adhans (Islamic call to prayer) as the sound. Additionally, there is a reminder before each adhan, allowing users to customize the duration for each prayer.

Salaat First provides multiple methods for determining the user’s location. It can use GPS, manual search in a database of over 40,000 cities, or internet-based location. The app also updates the location in the background to ensure accurate prayer times without the need for manual configuration.

Other notable features include a compass that shows the direction of the Qibla (the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca), monthly prayer times, and the ability to manually adjust prayer times. The app is available in Arabic, English, and French.

With its comprehensive calculation methods, Salaat First is a reliable and user-friendly app for Muslims looking to keep track of prayer times.
