Three things you check every day, done with care.
The right time, an alarm you know will sound, and a screen that stays calm. Everything else stays out of the way.
The Diyanet method, with your own adjustments.
Times are calculated with the Diyanet method, temkin included. Shift any time by −10 to +10 minutes if you want; adjusted times stay marked.
One ad slot. A one-time payment removes it.
Ads appear only on the Today and Fasting screens, always in the same place and labelled “Ad space”. Alarms, qibla and the calendar never show an ad.

Questions
Are the times the same as Diyanet’s?
Times are calculated with Diyanet’s public method, temkin included, and were cross-checked against Diyanet’s published times for several provinces and dates. You can shift any time by −10 to +10 minutes and reset to Diyanet in one tap.
Does the adhan alarm sound when the app is closed?
Yes, once the needed permissions are granted. The System status card on the Alarms screen shows notifications, exact alarms and battery settings, and fixes a missing one in one tap. On iPhone the notification sound is at most 30 seconds; tapping the notification plays the full adhan.
Do I have to share my location?
No. Pick one of 81 Turkish province centres and every time follows it. If you do allow location, it still never leaves your device.
Is there a subscription?
No. The app is free with one ad slot. “Remove Ads” is a one-time purchase; your store shows the price (₺49,90 in Turkey). You can restore it from Settings.
Which adhan sounds are there?
The classic adhan and a Turkish-language adhan. For each prayer you can pick the adhan, a system sound or a silent notification.
Where does the daily word come from?
Each verse or hadith is quoted verbatim from an official source and shown with its citation. A text without a source is never shown.
