Other Comments
AlQibla is a useful app for those of the Islamic faith. Auditory notifications make it especially helpful for praying on time, alleviating the concerns of continual memorization of the hours in which prayers are necessary. One of the advantageous functions of AlQibla is the types of notifications: The user can choose to have prayer times sent through a text message, he or she could be alerted by an alarm, or by a system sound. It brings with it the technical and the non-technical aspects that come about prior to prayers, making it an awesome, ideal app to install.

Accessibility Comments
The app is completely accessible, with the exception of a few buttons. However, I didn't find these problems to be a significant barrier that prohibits the user from enjoying its fantastic capabilities. I was impressed with its accessibility, particularly the notification options and the ease of finding the prayer times on its main screen.
