Need help with My Namaz? Here's how to get in touch, plus answers to a few common questions.
My Namaz calculates prayer times and the Qibla direction from your device's own location, entirely on-device. No accounts, no ads — see the privacy policy for the full detail.
Yes. Once your location is set (automatically via GPS, or manually), prayer times and Qibla direction are calculated entirely on your device and need no connection. The only thing that needs a brief connection is looking up your town's name for display — the app works fine without it if you're offline.
On newer Android versions, exact alarms need a permission that can be revoked by the system or turned off in phone settings — check Settings within the app for an alarm-permission prompt if alerts have stopped. Aggressive battery-optimisation settings on some Android phones can also delay or block scheduled alerts; adding My Namaz to your phone's battery-optimisation exceptions usually fixes this.
Open Settings and choose your preferred calculation method and Asr juristic setting (Hanafi or Standard) — these affect the exact times shown, particularly for Asr and Isha.
Yes — in Settings, choose your mosque under Timetable Source instead of GPS Calculation. Supported mosques' begin and jamaat times are bundled with the app itself, so they work fully offline and don't depend on your location at all. There's currently no way to type in a location manually — if GPS calculation is what you want, the app relies on the device's own location for that.
The app occasionally checks a small file on our own website to see whether a newer version is worth updating to. It's a suggestion, not a requirement — tap "Not now" and carry on using the app if you'd rather update later. See the privacy policy for exactly what that check does and doesn't send.
No account, no personal data collected — see the privacy policy for exactly what the app's outside requests do and don't send.
Found a bug, an incorrect prayer time, or something that doesn't look right? Email [email protected] — your location and calculation method help a lot if it's a timing issue.
