I originally used this product when it was available for Classic and, like many Islamically-themed Mac OS products amongst the derth thereof, it took awhile for this application to make its transition from Classic to Mac OS X, but I'm glad and grateful that it 1. made it to Mac OS X and 2. is well implemented.

This product features: thousands of cities to choose from, direction of Qibla, gregorian and Islamic calendars side by side, current local time as well as countdown until next prayer time and, at the bottom, a chronological listing, for the entire month, of the exact times for all prayers from Fajr to Isha. When selecting a date in the chronological listing or either calendar the corresponding date is highled in the other two- this preempts a lot of potential confusion and is a welcome extra.

Other features include options to select seperate audio files to be played for typical adhan and fajr adhan and prayer timing rules including; Low and high Latitude rules for Fajr and Isha as well as Shafi'i and Hanafi rules for Asr and "Calendar shift."

A well thought out product for a reasonable price... and the author is willing to take suggestions into consideration.

Would I recommend it? Alhamdulillah yes!

This was one of the last apps I needed a native OS X version of. Works great and the price is reasonable.
