Everything Rumi does

Rumi computes the five prayers on the device from your coordinates, using the calculation profile your country's own authority publishes. Reminders can be set from 0 to 30 minutes before each prayer, and any single prayer can be silenced from the bell on its row without touching the others. A Live Activity counts down on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and a streak keeps a quiet record of the prayers you've kept.

• Fourteen calculation methods; the right one chosen for you by country
• Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali Asr calculation
• Per-prayer manual offsets for when your local mosque runs a minute off

The assistant answers in the language you are reading in and replies in cards: a verse comes as a verse card with the Arabic and the translation, a how-to comes as numbered steps, prayer times come as the real times for your location. Verses, hadiths and times are read from the app's own data rather than generated, so a reference is never invented. Conversations are grouped by topic and stay on your device.

• Answers cite the surah and ayah, or the hadith collection
• Ask about a verse from inside the reader and keep your place
• Topics, history and deletion all under your control

Photograph an ingredients list and Rumi reads it. Gelatine, rennet, carmine, alcohol-derived flavourings and the E-codes that hide them are flagged, each with the reason and a confidence level, plus alternatives where there is an obvious one. Scans are kept in a history so you can check the same product later without rescanning.

• E-code detection with the animal- or plant-origin question spelled out
• A confidence level rather than a bare yes or no
• Scan history, so the weekly shop gets faster

All 114 surahs, with the Arabic, a transliteration for those still learning the script, and a translation in your language. Bookmarks, a reading plan and per-surah progress keep the place. A reciter can be downloaded for offline listening, ayah by ayah, and any verse can be sent to the assistant if you want it explained.

• Arabic, transliteration and translation on one line
• Downloadable recitation for reading with no network
• Bookmarks, reading plan and progress per surah

A compass that resolves to the direction of the Kaaba from wherever you are, with the bearing in degrees underneath so you can sanity-check it against anything else. It uses the device's magnetometer, which means the usual advice applies: step away from metal and recalibrate if the needle wanders.

• Bearing in degrees alongside the needle
• Works from a manually chosen city if you'd rather not share location
• Calibration prompt when the magnetometer needs it

A counter that takes a tap anywhere on the screen, with a haptic on each bead and a stronger one when you reach the goal. Eight bead materials to choose between, per-dhikr goals, and a record of what you counted and when. The Watch app carries its own counter, and a widget keeps the count one tap from the Home Screen.

• Goals of 33, 99 or any number you set
• Haptic feedback on every count and at the target
• Counts shared between iPhone, Watch and widget

Supplications grouped by when you'd reach for them — morning and evening, before and after eating, travel, distress, illness, rain, entering a mosque. Each shows the Arabic, a transliteration and the meaning in your language, with the source given. A widget puts one on the Home Screen each day.

• Categorised by occasion rather than listed alphabetically
• Arabic, transliteration and meaning together
• Daily du'a widget, and 'ask Rumi' on any of them

Through Ramadan the home screen changes shape: suhoor and iftar times move to the top with a countdown, a ring fills as the month goes on, and the whole imsakiye is a tap away. Fasts are logged day by day, and what you owe from previous years has its own count.

• Suhoor and iftar countdowns, and the month's imsakiye
• Day-by-day fasting log with the month's progress
• A Ramadan widget for the Home and Lock Screens

Prayer times in small, medium and large; the next prayer alone; the verse of the day; the daily du'a; a name of Allah; the tasbih counter; Ramadan progress. Lock Screen widgets and Control Centre controls too, plus the Live Activity that runs down to the next prayer. If you've never added one, the app has a step-by-step guide.

• Home Screen, Lock Screen and Control Centre
• Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown
• A built-in guide for adding them

The Hijri date sits beside the Gregorian one everywhere it matters, and the calendar marks the nights people plan around — Ramadan, the Eids, Ashura, Mawlid, Laylat al-Qadr, the three months. Your Hijri birthday is worked out from your Gregorian one, which is the sort of thing nobody knows offhand.

• Holy nights and months marked ahead of time
• Hijri birthday calculated from your own date
• Hijri date shown alongside prayer times

A yes or no each day, and the last seven days visible at a glance. Fasts owed from before — qada — are counted separately, so the backlog is a number you can watch come down rather than something you half-remember.

• One tap a day, with the week visible
• A separate qada count for fasts owed
• Works for Ramadan and for voluntary fasts

The 99 names with their meanings; a hadith each morning with its collection named; flashcards that quiz you and keep score; a reading plan that paces the Qur'an; a zakat calculator that does the nisab arithmetic; a mosque finder; wallpapers; and a name list for parents choosing one.

• Asma-ul Husna, hadith of the day, flashcards and quizzes
• Zakat calculator and reading plan
• Mosque finder, wallpapers, and Muslim baby names
