Prayers Gadget requests the following permissions:

- Location: precise location (GPS) and approximate location (network-based)
This is used to auto-detect your location when Prayers Gadget is first run, and when you select the “auto-detect” command from the settings menu, or click the location name on your home screen (to update your location)

- Read the contents of your storage
This allows the user to assign a custom audio file from the phone storage for Duaa, Azan, Iqama and Alarm. It also allows the user to read a CSV file containing custom prayer times, if the user wants that.

- Read phone status and identity
- Change your audio settings
- Do not disturb
This is used to check if the user is making a phone call when an Alarm or Azan sets off. Prayers Gadget automatically reduces the Alarm/Azan volume if the user is on the phone to avoid annoying or hurting the user when his ear is so close to the phone. This also allows the App to set your phone to silent or do not disturb mode during prayer.

- Run at startup
- Disable your screen lock
- Control vibration
- Notifications
All the above allow Prayers Gadget to sound the Alarm and Azan at the proper times, even if the phone is locked. The default settings do not sound any Alarm or Azan. The user has to enable those in the App manually to start sounding them.

- Prevent device from sleeping
When you run Prayers Gadget the screen stays on. This allows you to put your phone/tablet on a stand in your home/office/local mosque to display Islamic prayer times and play Azan, without the screen turning off every minute or so.

Ratings and reviews

Perfect app... if it did what it was supposed to do - notify. Totally unrealiable. Missed so many prayers because it failed to remind me like i set it to do. You have to open the app for the reminder to work, but then a couple of reminders later, it'll stop notifying you again. And no, it's not because of battery optimization. I've toggled off "remove permission if app is unused", selected "unrestricted battery" usage and enabled notification permission.

Dear My congratulations you did a nice job with this program. During the last 3 M the program stopped to give any alarm sounds. Running Android ver 12. I uninstalled the prog & reinstalled the newer ver. twice, I also did "Reset all settings" in my phone. Also I followed your instructions ""activate full notifications"", I disabled the battery optimizer for the App from Android settings. But still the program gives no sound or even vibrate at time of the adjusted alarm. Many thanks in advance.

Great widget, provides all the needed info, except for the refresh issue. The time remaining and the current time does not update on the widget most of the time. I always have to click the widget and open it, and then close it to update time on the widget. This is annoying. Please fix this, since otherwise the widget is awesome.
