Yes, we take privacy seriously. Tawhid only uses your location to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction. We do not sell your personal information. Your bookmarks, notes, and preferences are stored locally on your device. For more details, please read our Privacy Policy.

The app interface is currently in English only (no RTL support yet). However, Quran translations are available in 50+ languages including Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, and many others. We're working on adding more language options for the interface in future updates.

Prayer times are calculated using reliable Islamic conventions (ISNA, MWL, Egyptian, Umm al-Qura, etc.) based on your GPS location. The calculations account for your latitude, longitude, time zone, and the selected calculation method. You can also manually adjust times if your local mosque uses slightly different timings.

Go to Settings > Prayer Times > Prayer Time Conventions. You can choose from multiple methods including ISNA (recommended for North America), MWL (Muslim World League), Egyptian, Umm al-Qura (Saudi Arabia), Karachi, and others. Select the method that matches your region or school of thought.

Yes, you can customize Azan voices for each prayer. Go to Settings > Prayer Times > Adhan Settings. You'll see options for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. Each prayer can have a different Adhan voice selected from available options like "Adhan Al Haram Al Madade", "Nasser Al Abd Al Jabar", and others.

Pre-Adhan reminders alert you a certain number of minutes before the actual prayer time (e.g., 5, 10, or 15 minutes before). This helps you prepare for prayer. Post-Adhan reminders alert you after the prayer time, useful if you missed the initial Azan. You can set different reminder times for each prayer in Settings > Prayer Times > Adhan Settings.

Go to Settings > Prayer Times > Manual Correction. You'll see values for each prayer (Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha). Use positive numbers to add minutes or negative numbers to subtract minutes. This is useful if your local mosque times differ slightly from the calculated times.

Open the Qibla feature from the home screen. Allow location access when prompted. Calibrate your compass by moving your device in a figure-8 motion for 10-15 seconds.
