Update: New App versions will have 3 Full adhan options. Due to the restraints we are only using Full adhans of less then 90 seconds (fajr 120).

Functions explained

Direction

Qibla direction can be found in 3 ways:

The Qibla angle is displayed as degrees from North (Clockwise)
The green Qibla line will keep pointing towards Kaaba when the compass is activated
Compare Qibla direction to nearby houses and roads using satellite images (always 100% accurate).


Directions explained


Mosques

Mosques will be searched within 5KM (3.1 miles). If none are found within this distance the search will go to 50KM (31 miles).
The Mosque information comes from the Google Places database which is still experimental. We hope to provide a facility for uploading your own Mosques in the next Qibla Plus version.
Please allow for sporadic mislabeling of Mosques.


Mosque finder explained

Prayer Times

Qibla Plus uses the praytimes module from Praytimes.org by Hamid Zarrabi-Zadeh, jazakallahu khayran. Calculation methods can be adjusted in the Settings menu. Qibla Plus added an extra method for Jakim Malaysia. The slider can activate future dates, up to 3 months for Ipad, 1 month for iphone.


Prayer Times explained


Ipad greatCircle map

Your Ipad will show the entire greatcirlce from your location to the Kaaba. The greatcircle isgenerally perceived as the best direction as it follows the shortest distance. A tap on the greatcircle map will show the Kaaba entry location of the Qibla.

Umm al-Qura calendar

Qibla Plus uses the same calender as used in Saudi Arabia. Note that the religious authorities of Saudi Arabia sometimes adjust these dates after claimed sightings of the lunar crescent. For more information visit Umm al-Qura calendar by R.H. van Gent
