Muslim Prayer Times

Islam is one of the largest religions in the world and for those who follow the Muslim faith, one of the five pillars of the faith is prayer and how often it needs to be performed. Muslim Prayer Times is an application that allows users to schedule their different prayer times and set up an alert / reminder system.

Muslim Prayer Times is a very simplistic application that performs a straightforward function, it doesn't have a main window or anything dramatic. Instead, a semi transparent desktop alert is available that can be positioned anywhere that is convenient.

Unfortunately, the simplistic nature of the program and minimal options means that it can be difficult to adjust the prayer times and configure how the application operates. Users need to edit the configuration file to set the different times, something that many users will not be comfortable with, and, in some cases, not know how to do.

The ability to customize the application is limited, users can change the appearance of the program, but there are some essential features that Muslim Prayer Times does not support. The transparency, color of the text and the background can all be changed, as well as the times for the different alerts.

A big issue with Muslim Prayer Times is the lack of audio support, while the visual alerts are undoubtedly useful, an alarm feature is easily the most obvious feature that could improve the program. Another feature would be the option to edit the actual alerts, users can change when they appear, but not what they say or what they do.

In short, Muslim Prayer Times is a useful application, but it is exceeded by several other programs that do the same thing. The minimalistic nature of Muslim Prayer Times that tries not to be intrusive, sacrifices too many essential options and tools in the name of simplicity. Most importantly, it needs to make it possible for users to edit the times manually, rather than trying to automatically configure them.
