Questions
What people ask us
Is it free?
Yes. The app is free to download and use.
Which calendar should I choose?
The one your mosque follows. If you are not sure, ask at your mosque. You can change it later in Settings.
Will the times match my printed calendar?
On almost every day, to the minute. Printed calendars repeat the same times every year while the sun shifts a little, so on a few days a time can differ by one or two minutes.
Why does my phone warn me when I install it?
Android warns about every app that does not come from the Play Store. Al-Saff is safe to install, and it will be on the Play Store soon.
Does it work outside Kerala?
The calendars are made for Kerala. If you live abroad, choose your home town in Kerala to see its times. The app shows them in Kerala time and alerts you at the right moment where you are.
Is there an iPhone version?
Not yet. Android comes first; the iPhone version will follow.
What does the app know about me?
Nothing leaves your phone. Your place and settings are kept on the phone only. Read the privacy note.
A time looks wrong. What should I do?
Tell us on WhatsApp with your place, the date and the time you expected. This is a test version and every report helps.
