Hey everyone I've been building Qibla Compass & Prayer Streak solo, and I'm trying to figure out what to prioritize next. The app already covers Qibla direction, prayer times with notifications, prayer streak tracking, and a full Quran reader (Arabic + English/Urdu translations, multi-reciter audio, and reading-progress tracking). Curious to hear from this community, whether you're Muslim and use apps like this daily, or you've just noticed patterns building similar habit/utility apps: - What's the most annoying thing about prayer/Quran apps you've used?
- Login walls and paywalls on basic features seem to be the biggest complaint I hear does that match what you've seen?
- Would a word-by-word Quran translation mode (vs. full-sentence) actually get used, or is that more effort than it's worth? Genuinely want to build based on real feedback rather than guessing. Appreciate any thoughts!
Offline Qibla worked instantly without me hunting for permissions or a login, which is rare these days. The streak counter paired with prayer alerts feels like a genuinely useful combo instead of a gimmick.
@daphne_rivers,Β Thanks so much. That's exactly what I was going for. It does ask for location on first launch (needed for accurate Qibla direction and prayer times) and internet, but that's really it, no accounts, no extra permissions, no paywall just to use the basics. Really glad the streak + prayer alerts combo is landing well too. That pairing came from my own habit of forgetting to check back in, so it means a lot to hear it clicked for you. Thanks again for trying it out! If anything felt missing or you'd find useful, I'd genuinely love to hear it.
honestly this looks super useful, especially the offline qibla part since i travel a lot. one thing though, would be great if you could add a widget for the home screen showing the next prayer time and current streak at a glance, so i don't have to open the app every time to check. that would make it way more convenient.
@ebayraktut54124,Β Thank you, this really means a lot, especially coming from someone who travels a lot. Offline reliability was one of the things I cared about most.
Good news, we already have widgets for that: prayer times, Hijri date, and a tasbih counter. Streak isn't its own widget yet, but I will add that as a separate one. I will add it to the list for an upcoming update. Appreciate you taking the time to share this!
