Desktop Athan Description

One of the five pillars of Islam is Salah, a religious requirement to pray at least five times a day at specific times in the direction of Mecca. Desktop Athan is an application that helps Muslims organize and plan out the five different prayer times, taking into account the sunrise in a specific region and daylight saving times.

A simple to operate interface that is easy to customize and easy to read, presenting its results clearly

Desktop Athan is a very straightforward program that gets immediately to the point, the moment users select a country it presents prayer times, then as additional information is added, the times change accordingly. It allows users to see exactly what the Desktop Athan is doing, as it does it. 
The individual options are very simple to customize, but once set up, they can be minimized and hidden, so the application takes up less space and displays only what it needs too. One feature that could be added however is a basic alarm built into the program, which would take it from an informative role, to also an organizational role.

An impressive array of features for such a simple concept, making sure it caters to every possible need

Given how important and personal the need to pray can be, Desktop Athan does its best to make sure it provides as much customization as possible. If users cannot find their specific city or region within the application, it provides an option to enter in a specific longitude and latitude to precisely calculate a location.
Desktop Athan also includes different forms of prayer time calculation, based on different interpretations of the Quran, such as the Muslim World League or the Umm Al-Qura. The only setting it is arguably missing is Arabic as a standard language setting, which seems like an easily fixable oversight.

A helpful service that will enable Muslims to more accurately organize their day and prayer times

To conclude, Desktop Athan is a very useful program that will easily help any Muslim who is having difficulty planning out their prayers times. If a user has recently moved to a new location that is darker or lighter at different times, Desktop Athan can handle it. While it could take on a more organizing role, as an informative application it does a superb job.
