Daha önce bu subda yaptığım paylaşımda annemin doğru düzgün reklamsız bir namaz vakti uygulaması bulamadığı için böyle bir işe girdiğimi, sonrasında hazır yapmışken herkesle paylaşmak istediğimi söylemiştim. Uzun çalışmalar sonucunda çıkartabildim.

İçinde Namaz Vakitleri, Kıble Pusulası, Kuran dinleme, Zekat hesaplama, kıldığınız namaz vakitlerini işaretleme, Kütüb-i Sitte külliyatı ve aklıma gelmeyen bir kaç özellik daha var.

Kesinlikle reklamsız ve herhangi bir üyelik vb. para kazanma amacı içermiyor. Faydalanmak isterseniz play store üzerinden indirebilirsiniz. Eksik ya da hatalı bulduğunuz kısımları bana burda ya da play store üzerinden yorum olarak bildirebilirsiniz.

Henüz Apple için çıkış yapamadım ama ileride İOS versiyonu da gelecek.

Uygulamanın İndirme adresi: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mihrab.app

Salaam All,

I need your help, small team of us have created an app to help understand the most of the Qur'an buy learning the most common 300 words.

We need tester to join a closed group to feedback on the app and InshAllah share in the reward.

The app will be published completely free with no ads or tracking IA. Our main frustration is that people price islamic literature to high so its out of reach to the many.

The Intention is to help people learn the Quran and understanding it for free. Our reward is with Allah swt and please join us and share in that reward.

It come off the back of many books being available but either they are expensive or not fit for the digital world we live in currently.

If you are interested, please join the alpha testing group details are below:

Step 1 — Join the tester group first: https://groups.google.com/g/quran-words-300-testers

Step 2 — After joining the group, open this Google Play testing link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.easyquran.words

Step 3 — Click “Become a tester”.

Step 4 — Install Quran Words 300 from Google Play.

Step 5: Share feedback

Important: Please use the same Google account for joining the tester group and installing the app from Google Play.

If you see “App not available”, it usually means you have not joined the tester group first, or you are using a different Google account on Google Play.

Please keep the app installed and use it a few times over the next 14 days so the testing period counts properly.

JazakAllah khair for your support. May Allah reward you for helping with this project

Building the app was only half of it

Around one month ago, I launched my first app on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

I had no idea how app launches worked, what Apple and Google would ask for, how long approval would take, or what kind of numbers would be considered “good” for a first app. I wanted to share some early numbers and lessons from the process, in case it benefits someone else.

Apple App Store experience

Signing up for the Apple Developer Program costs $99/year.

My experience with Apple was actually easier than I expected. I knew Apple was strict with the approval process, and I expected to spend a while fixing things before the app would be accepted, but in the end the process was quite straightforward.

I signed up for the Apple Developer Program and submitted the app on 15 May.

The next day, on 16 May, the first version was not accepted immediately. Apple asked for more information, including things like a screen recording, tested devices, the app’s purpose, target audience, instructions for using the main features, external services used, and whether there were any regional differences.

At first, it felt like a lot, but looking back, it made sense. Apple did not only want to know whether the app worked. They wanted to understand what the app does, who it is for, how it works, and whether everything is properly explained.

After I fixed the missing details, the app was approved on 18 May, and it became available on the App Store on 19 May.

One thing that surprised me was that after Apple approved the app, it still did not appear properly in all regions at first. I later realized there were still agreements and terms I had to accept in App Store Connect. Some were related to countries, laws, regulations, distribution, and App Store terms.

So one lesson was:

An app being approved does not always mean your developer account is fully ready.

You also need to check agreements, terms, privacy policy, support links, copyright/content information, and all required documents.

After the first approval, Apple updates were usually smooth. Most reviews were completed within 24–48 hours.

Overall, Apple felt strict but polished. App Store Connect was confusing at first, but after learning it, it became quite straightforward. Apple’s analytics also feel detailed and fairly up to date. I could usually see data up to around the last 24 hours.

Google Play experience

Signing up for a Google Play Developer account costs $25 once.

The account fee is cheaper, and updates after launch are much faster, but the initial publishing process was more complicated for me because I was using a personal developer account.

For new personal developer accounts, Google requires closed testing before public release. In my case, Google specifically guided me to run a 14-day closed test with at least 12 users.

My Google Play Console identity verification was completed on 14 May.

I shared the first testing link on 15 May, had enough testers by around 17 May, and after the testing period, production access was granted on 1 June. That same day, the app launched publicly on Google Play.

So the Google timeline was roughly:

• 14 May — identity verified
• 15 May — testing links shared
• 17 May — enough testers reached
• 1 June — production access granted
• 1 June — public launch

Google felt slower at first because of the testing requirement, but much faster after launch.

Usually, after uploading an update to Google Play, it can become available in around one hour. With Apple, each update goes through review again and usually takes 24–48 hours.

Google Play analytics felt more delayed, sometimes by around 3–4 days, which made it harder to know what was happening after sharing or promoting the app.

So my experience was:

Apple was faster to launch once the documents were fixed, but slower for updates.

Google was slower to launch for a new personal account, but faster for updates after production access.

Early numbers

The app launched on the iOS App Store on 19 May 2026.

Exactly one month after launch, it had:

• 150 first-time downloads
• 9 five-star reviews

It launched publicly on the Google Play Store on 1 June 2026.

As of 22 June, it had:

• 79 downloads
• 7 five-star reviews
• 1 three-star review

The three-star review affected me more than I expected, to be honest. Not because I think everyone has to give five stars, but because when you build something with sincere intention, make it free, remove ads and subscriptions, and try to create something beneficial, even one lower rating can feel a little personal.

But I think that is also part of releasing something publicly. People will experience your app in different ways. A feature you spent the most time developing might be overlooked or even disliked, while something you did not prioritize much might become one of the things users appreciate most.

And that is something you often only discover AFTER publishing, no matter how prepared you think you are.

How I promoted it

I did not have a big launch campaign, and I did not have any real experience with promoting apps. I shared it in different Discord servers, a couple of subreddits, with family and friends, and made a few TikTok and social media videos.

The app itself is polished, and I honestly think it has more features and a better UI than some competing apps. But one thing I learned is that building a good app is not enough. You also need to know how to present it, explain it, and market it.

Right now, I feel like the biggest bottleneck is not the app itself, but my own ability to market it properly.

Screenshots and product pages matter more than I expected

One thing I underestimated was how important the product page is.

Before launching, I was mostly focused on the app itself. But when you publish on the App Store or Google Play, the product page becomes the first impression. For many people, it decides whether they download the app or ignore it.

You need good screenshots, clear text, and a page that quickly explains why someone should care.

The screenshots are also not as simple as just taking random screenshots from your phone. You need to prepare them properly, with the correct sizes, dimensions, and formats for each platform. Apple and Google both have their own requirements, and if the screenshots are the wrong size or do not clearly show the app, it can slow you down or make the product page weaker.

I also learned that screenshots are not only technical requirements. They are marketing material. They should show the best parts of the app, explain the value quickly, and look polished. A good app with weak screenshots can easily look less serious than it actually is.

This is something I would put more effort into earlier next time.

Final thoughts

I am still learning, and I am not sure how to judge the numbers yet.

The app has now passed 300 total downloads, which I am grateful for, but I also realize that a polished app does not automatically reach people. Distribution, presentation, screenshots, product pages, and marketing matter a lot.

One personal thing I noticed during this launch is how much my own perfectionism affected the process. I hold my work to a very high standard. Small details that many people might overlook can bother me a lot, and I often spend more time than necessary trying to polish things that others may not even notice.

That can be time-consuming, but I also see it as one of my strengths. When I take responsibility for something, I want it to be done properly and to the best of my ability.

At the same time, launching an app publicly teaches you that perfection is not really the finish line. You can polish something for a long time, but once it is public, people will still experience it differently. Some will love it, some will have criticism, and some may notice things you never expected.

If you are planning to launch your first app, especially as an independent developer, I hope this gives you a more realistic picture of what the early stage can look like.

There are already a lot of prayer apps, but most seem to prioritize subscriptions, ads, or adding more features instead of getting the core experience right. I wanted something that was simple, reliable, and respected your privacy, so I built Azimuth.

Everything works completely offline. Prayer times are calculated on your device, the app doesn’t collect any personally identifiable data, and it only asks for the permissions it actually needs.

I built separate native apps for each platform using Kotlin + Jetpack Compose on Android and Swift 6 + SwiftUI on Apple platforms. That made it possible to build proper adaptive layouts for phones, foldables, tablets, iPad, and Mac instead of stretching a phone UI onto larger screens.

To get the most out of it, I recommend enabling prayer reminders, the Fajr alarm if you need it, and adding the widgets. Android also has a persistent prayer notification, while iPhone and iPad support Lock Screen widgets, so your next prayer is always just a glance away without opening the app.

The Fajr alarm works as a true alarm on Android and on iOS 26+ using Apple’s AlarmKit. On earlier iOS versions it falls back to a notification because AlarmKit isn’t available there.

You also get a Qibla and general compass, rakat guides, multiple calculation methods, madhabs, and high latitude support.

There’s no subscription. You get a 14 day free trial, then it’s a one time purchase if you decide to keep it.
If you check it out, I’d really appreciate any feedback. And if you end up liking it, a rating or the lifetime purchase helps support future development.

Assalamu alaykum everyone,

We’re excited to share that we have launched Hamila: Muslim Pregnancy on Product Hunt today.

Hamila is a pregnancy companion designed specifically for Muslim mothers, combining practical pregnancy tools with spiritual support rooted in Islam.

We started building it after noticing that most pregnancy apps focus almost entirely on physical development and medical tracking. Those tools are valuable, but pregnancy can also be a deeply emotional and spiritual journey, and we felt that side of the experience was often missing.

We wanted to build something that supports both.

Hamila includes:

• week-by-week pregnancy and baby development guidance
• daily reflections rooted in Qur’an and hadith
• morning and evening adhkar reminders
• duas and dhikr organised by how the mother is feeling
• kick counting and contraction timing
• weight tracking, notes and birth planning
• a curated Islamic baby-name library

A lot of thought has also gone into the smaller product and design details.

The app’s colour palette changes as the mother moves through each trimester, helping each stage of pregnancy feel visually distinct. The reminders and reflections also shift throughout pregnancy, so the experience develops alongside the mother rather than presenting the same content from beginning to end.

Hamila also includes a Pregnancy History feature, allowing mothers to preserve a private record of each pregnancy, including key dates, outcomes, notes, weight changes, kick and contraction sessions, and their journey through the app.

We designed the home screen around calm, editorial-style cards so that important guidance feels approachable rather than overwhelming. We also created embryo illustrations in a range of skin tones, because we wanted more mothers to feel represented in an area of pregnancy design that often defaults to a single appearance.

We are also developing Circle, an in-app community space intended to help expectant Muslim mothers connect, share experiences and support one another during pregnancy.

Privacy and dignity have remained central throughout the product. Hamila contains no advertising, and we do not sell users’ personal data.

As Muslim builders, our aim was not to take a mainstream pregnancy app and simply add Islamic branding afterwards. The spiritual experience, the visual language and the changing needs of a mother throughout pregnancy were considered from the beginning.

We would genuinely value feedback from the MuslimTechNet community, especially from developers, designers, founders and other Muslim technology professionals.

Please visit our Product Hunt launch page and leave us a comment with your honest thoughts, feedback or suggestions:

You can also find the app on iOS and Android by searching Hamila: Muslim Pregnancy.

Jazakum Allahu khayran to everyone who has supported us so far. We hope Hamila can become a trusted and genuinely useful companion for Muslim mothers, in sha Allah.

I wanted to have a convenient countdown on my home screen to keep track of how much time it's left in current prayer so I made this app which comes with all prayer timings, notifications and islamic date as well.
It also auto-detects your location so you don't have to configure anything.

Here's the link to download on android for free. it'd be appreciated if you guys try it out and could give suggestions as well :)

Hi everyone,

​

I’m reaching out to the community to see if others would support a push for a native Hijri (Islamic) date widget on the Android Lock Screen.

As many of you know, this feature has been natively supported on iOS for years (accessible via Settings > Calendar > Alternative Calendars). On Android, however, users are currently forced to rely on third-party apps for this functionality.
