Ramadan 2018: 5 apps that will help you get through the month of Ramzan

The month of Ramzan in India or Ramadan as it is known elsewhere, is a month of intense prayer and fasting for Muslims all over the world. They keep fasts as long as there is daylight and only eat during the dark hours. The end of this month-long fasting which is known as ‘Roza’ is marked by the day known as Eid-ul-Fitr.

During this period of time, the Muslim community offers prayers five times a day in the direction of Mecca and there is a special significance in the positioning of the moon for them. Keeping these in mind we have found some specific apps that help make things easier during this period. Let’s have a look at these apps.

Ramadan Timetable
This Android app from the developer called Andiko is a rather useful app to keep track of things. It has several features, which include geolocation and pointing towards Mecca using GPS. There are accessible prayer timetables, along with moon phases of the present day as well as the days to come. Users can also get prayers on the app using the “Call to Prayer” feature.

Muslim Pro – Ramadan 2018
