How can we help?

Common questions first. If yours is not here, write to us. A person replies, usually within two working days.

Getting started

Which phones does Midhana run on?

iPhone running iOS 17 or later, and Android phones on Android 12 or later. iPad and tablets work in a scaled layout.

Do I need an account?

No. Everything works without one. An account is only created if you connect speakers or choose to sync settings between devices, and you can delete it at any time.

Does it need my location?

Prayer times depend on where you are, so yes, but you can type a city instead of sharing location. If you do share it, it is used on your phone to calculate times. Your chosen location is synced to your household only so that home speakers fire at the right moment; see the privacy policy.

Prayer times

The times differ from my mosque. Why?

Mosques choose a calculation method and often round or adjust times for the congregation. Pick the same method in Settings → Calculation, or add a per-prayer adjustment in minutes to match your mosque exactly. The methods explained.

Fajr and Isha look odd in summer.

At high latitudes, including the UK, true twilight does not end in midsummer. Midhana applies a high-latitude rule and tells you which one is in use, rather than inventing a time. You can change the rule in Settings.

Does it work offline, or abroad?

Times are calculated on your phone, so there is no signal needed. When you travel, the location updates and the timetable follows. The adhan on home speakers, naturally, stays at home.

Adhan & notifications

The adhan did not play on my phone.

Check Focus or Do Not Disturb, and that Midhana is allowed to send time-sensitive notifications. On Android, turn off battery optimisation for Midhana. Open the app once after a phone restart so it can re-arm the schedule.

Can I have a quieter adhan for Fajr?

Yes. Each prayer has its own voice and volume, and Fajr has a gentle ramp that starts almost silent.

How do I skip one adhan without turning everything off?

On Today, tap Skip next adhan or Mute today. Both undo themselves: the next prayer, or the next day, plays as normal.

Speakers

My Sonos rooms are not showing.

Make sure the speakers appear in the current Sonos app and that you signed into the same Sonos account. Then pull down on the Speakers tab to refresh. Speakers that only run the Sonos S1 app cannot be reached.

The test adhan plays but the real one did not.

Usually the home internet or the Sonos system was offline at that moment. The Speakers tab keeps a short log of each attempt with the reason, so you can see what happened rather than wonder.

Speaker setup fails.

The Midhana speaker needs a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network; stay within a few metres during setup; hold the button to reset and try again.

How do I disconnect Sonos?

Speakers → Sonos → Disconnect. The key Sonos gave us is revoked immediately. You can also remove Midhana from your Sonos account at sonos.com.

Ramadan

How does the app know when Ramadan starts?

It uses the Hijri calendar you choose: Umm al-Qura, or a local moonsighting announcement you confirm with one tap. Nothing switches over without you.

Where is my fasting record stored?

On your phone only. It is not synced, not backed up by us, and not visible to anyone. Delete the app and it is gone.

Account & Premium

I paid but Premium is not showing.

Open Settings → Whole-home speakers → Restore purchase, signed into the same Apple ID or Google account you paid with. If it still does not appear, write to us with your receipt and we will fix it.

How do I cancel?

In your Apple or Google subscription settings; Midhana links you there from Settings. You keep Premium until the end of the period you paid for.

How do I delete my account and data?

In the app: Settings → Account & sync → Delete account. It takes effect immediately. If you no longer have the app, see the other ways here.
