Mawaqity

Almost always this is the calculation method. Different regions use different Fajr and Isha twilight angles. Open Settings → Prayer → Calculation Method and pick the one your region follows. Umm al-Qura, ISNA, Muslim World League, Diyanet and others are built in, and you can set custom angles yourself.

For Asr specifically, check the Asr Madhab setting (Standard vs Hanafi), since the Hanafi calculation gives a noticeably later time.

If the method is right but a prayer is still off by a few minutes, use Time Adjustments to add or subtract minutes per prayer.

Yes. Go to Settings → Prayer → Mosque Iqama. You can either enter a fixed number of minutes after each adhan, or import a monthly table as a CSV file if your mosque publishes one.

The CSV format is date,fajr,dhuhr,asr,maghrib,isha, with dates as YYYY-MM-DD and times in 24-hour form like 05:30.

First check that notifications are allowed for Mawaqity in the iOS Settings app, then confirm Enable Notifications is on in Settings → Prayer Notifications.

To confirm delivery works on your device, turn on Advanced mode in Settings and use the test tools there to fire a test notification.

Also make sure Focus modes and Scheduled Summary aren't holding notifications back, since both can silently delay alerts.

If the prayer tracker is on and you haven't logged a prayer, Mawaqity alerts you 20 minutes before that prayer's window closes. The alert is cancelled the moment you log the prayer. It needs both notifications and the tracker enabled.

Widgets refresh from data the app prepares in advance, covering several days. If a widget looks stale, open the app once. That rewrites the data and refreshes every widget immediately.

If it persists, remove the widget and add it back.

This is expected and intentional. Calculated Hijri calendars and local moon-sighting announcements often disagree by a day. Use Settings → Hijri Calendar Adjustment to shift the date forward or back to match your community.

Move your device in a figure-eight motion to calibrate the magnetometer, and step away from metal, magnets and cases with magnetic closures, all of which skew the reading.

The compass needs motion permission and needs to be tilted to calibrate. If the number sits still while you turn, close and reopen the qibla screen.

Mawaqity evaluates the Odeh criterion for your exact location, using the moon's elongation, altitude and crescent width, and reports a visibility grade from A (easily visible to the naked eye) through D (not visible).

This is a forecast of physical visibility, not a religious ruling. Calculated calendars such as Umm al-Qura may begin a month before the crescent is actually sightable, so your community may differ by a night. Follow your local authority.

Yes. Prayer times, the qibla, and the sun and moon calculations all run on your device. An internet connection is only needed to search for a city by name, or to look up the name of your current location.

Open the monthly timetable and choose Add to Calendar. You can pick which prayers to include, the date range, event length and alert offsets. Times can be added straight into Apple Calendar, or exported as a standard .ics file.

Adding to Apple Calendar asks for full calendar access. That access is used to check for prayer times you've already exported so you don't end up with duplicates.
