It helps to mention your city and the calculation method shown at the bottom of the Today screen.
Common questions
The times differ from my mosque’s timetable.
Mosques use different calculation methods and Asr conventions, and many add a few minutes as a precaution. In Sukun, open Settings, Calculation and choose the method your community uses (for example Diyanet for Turkish mosques), and choose Hanafi for Asr if that’s your madhab. North of about 48° latitude, the high-latitude rule changes Fajr and Isha noticeably in summer; try the other options there.
If a few minutes are still off, use Settings, Calculation, Adjust times to move each time by up to 30 minutes. It applies to the app, the widgets and your reminders.
A widget shows an old place, or says “Open Sukun to set your location”.
Open Sukun once so the widgets have a location. For widgets to follow you when you travel, set location access to “While Using the App or Widgets” in the iPhone’s Settings, Privacy & Security, Location Services, Sukun. Widgets check your location every few hours; opening the app updates them straight away.
The Qibla compass seems off.
Hold your iPhone flat and away from magnets, metal and laptops; cases with magnets affect the compass too. If Sukun asks, move the phone in a figure-eight to calibrate. With location allowed, Sukun uses true north; without it, magnetic north, which can be a few degrees off.
Reminders don’t arrive.
Turn on the prayers you want in Sukun’s Settings, Notifications, and allow notifications for Sukun in the iPhone’s Settings. You can also get a reminder a few minutes before each prayer, a Friday reminder for Jumu'ah, and in Ramadan a Suhoor reminder. Sukun schedules about a week ahead and tops this up whenever you open the app. A Focus mode can silence reminders.
Does Sukun work without internet?
Yes. Prayer times and the Qibla are calculated on your iPhone. Only city search and showing a place name need a connection.
Can I use Sukun without sharing my location?
Yes. In Settings, Location, tap “Choose a city…” and pick your city.
Which languages are available?
English and German. Sukun follows your iPhone’s language.
