Salatuk Prayer time is an Android app from Masarat App that focuses on two core needs for practicing Muslims: accurate daily prayer schedules and clear Qibla direction. It combines a prayer timetable, compass, alerts, and a Hijri calendar in a single place on your phone.
This app suits users who want structured, clearly presented prayer times throughout the day, whether at home, at work, or while traveling, and who appreciate some flexibility in how notifications and schedules are configured.
Prayer times organized around the five daily salat
Salatuk centers the experience on the five obligatory prayers. It lists precise times for Fajr at daybreak, Zuhr around midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib after sunset, and Isha at night. The schedules are laid out so that each prayer has a fixed, professionally determined time, helping you keep a consistent routine.
The app is also designed for planning beyond a single day. By viewing upcoming times, you can organize your prayer routine over the coming days and months and keep everything in one application instead of juggling multiple tools.
Four main sections with a straightforward layout
The interface is built around four main pages: Scheduler, Readable Articles, Alarms, and Compass. This keeps navigation simple, since each screen has a clear role.
The Scheduler presents the prayer timetable in an easy to read format. The Readable Articles section adds an extra layer to the app through written content, for those who like to have material to read alongside their schedule. The Alarms screen gathers your alerts and Athan settings in one place, while the Compass page is focused on direction finding.
Overall, the structure feels clean and direct, which benefits anyone who wants to check times quickly rather than learning a complex interface.
Qibla compass using your phone’s hardware
One of the key features is the built-in Qibla finder. Salatuk uses the phone’s internal compass to point toward Mecca so you can align yourself correctly before praying. This is helpful in everyday life when you are in unfamiliar parts of your city and also during travel or pilgrimage, when reliable orientation becomes even more important.
Because the app relies on the device’s own compass, you do not need any separate accessory to determine direction.
Hijri calendar and alert customization
Salatuk includes a complete Hijri calendar, so you can see Islamic dates alongside your daily prayer schedule. This helps you recognize which days carry particular religious significance and align your worship with the calendar more easily.
Alert customization is a strong point. You can set custom notifications for prayers and select the Athan sound that you prefer as your call to prayer. These alerts are designed to remind you at the right moment, whatever you are doing, so you have time to prepare instead of reacting at the last second.
There is a limitation, however, in how the Athan volume is controlled. The app ties Athan audio to the phone’s ring or media volume. If you commonly mute those channels at night, the call to prayer can also become silent, which is a real drawback if you rely on it for Fajr. There is no separate option to bind Athan to the alarm volume, which could have avoided this issue.
Rich configuration options for power users
Beyond basic alerts, Salatuk offers a surprisingly broad settings area for an app of this type. You can adjust:
- Prayer times calculation settings
- Timezone and calendar preferences
- Athan sounds and reminder behavior
- Location-related options
- Settings related to social networks
- Export of prayer times to Google Calendar
Being able to export prayer times to Google Calendar is particularly helpful if you already manage your day there, since it lets you view your salat schedule alongside your other events.
This collection of options makes the app adaptable to different practices and regional calculation methods, while still remaining approachable for those who only want the default setup.
Widgets and visual presentation
Salatuk also provides home screen widgets, which are very useful for quick glances at upcoming prayers without opening the app. The widgets can show the remaining time to the next salat, including hours, minutes, and seconds.
The countdown design has both strengths and weaknesses. It gives a very precise sense of how much time is left, but the constantly changing seconds can feel visually busy, especially on always on displays that typically refresh only once per minute. There is currently no option to hide the seconds and show only hours and minutes, or to simplify the display when less than an hour remains, so users who prefer a calmer widget might find this slightly distracting.
Overall impression
Salatuk Prayer time delivers a focused experience built around accurate schedules, clear Qibla orientation, and a full Hijri calendar, all wrapped in a simple four-page layout. Its customization options and calendar export make it suitable for both casual and detail oriented users.
There are some rough edges, particularly around how Athan volume interacts with the phone’s sound settings and the lack of finer control over widget display. Even with those issues, the app remains a strong choice for anyone who wants their phone to support a more organized prayer routine every day.
