Terms of Service
By downloading, installing, or using Arkaan ("the app", "we", "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
1. About Arkaan
Arkaan is a Muslim companion app providing:
- Accurate prayer times based on your location
- Qibla direction via compass
- Daily Quran verses
- Home and lock screen widgets
- Prayer notifications
- Optional premium features through Arkaan Pro
The app is designed for personal, non-commercial religious use.
2. License
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Arkaan on your personal device for personal use, subject to these terms.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, or distribute the app or its content
- Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the app's source code
- Use the app for any commercial purpose
- Sublicense or sell access to the app
3. Accuracy of Prayer Times
Prayer times are calculated using established Islamic calculation methods (Muslim World League, ISNA, Egyptian, etc.) via the adhan library. Results depend on:
- Your device's GPS accuracy
- The calculation method and madhab you have selected
- Your Hijri date offset setting
We do not guarantee that calculated prayer times conform to any specific local mosque schedule or religious authority. Users are responsible for selecting the appropriate calculation method for their region and confirming times with a trusted local source when required.
4. Qibla Direction
Qibla bearing is calculated mathematically from your GPS coordinates toward the Kaaba. Accuracy depends on your device's compass sensor calibration. We do not guarantee compass precision and recommend verifying direction with a physical compass or other reliable source when precision is critical.
5. Quran Content
Quran text and translations included in the app are provided for educational and devotional reference. We have made reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, but we make no warranty as to the correctness of any translation. For scholarly or legal Islamic matters, consult qualified religious authorities.
6. Arkaan Pro
What's Included
Arkaan Pro unlocks premium features, currently:
- Premium Home Screen widgets: Countdown Ring, Next Prayer Ring, Prayer Day, and Next Prayer Wide
- Widget styles (Forest & Gold, Midnight, Sand, alongside the default Graphite) and accent colors
- Lock screen Quran verse widget (iOS)
- Premium adhan sounds
We plan to keep adding new widgets and styles to Pro. Prayer times, adhan notifications with the default sound, Qibla, the daily verse, the Hijri date, and the free widgets remain free, and the app has no ads.
Plans
- Yearly: an auto-renewing subscription, billed once a year. Eligible new subscribers start with a 7-day free trial.
- Monthly: an auto-renewing subscription, billed every month. No free trial.
- Lifetime: a one-time purchase that does not renew. Lifetime includes every Pro feature available today. Future features that run on our servers, such as AI features, will need a subscription and are not included in Lifetime.
Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by country and currency.
Free Trial
- The 7-day free trial is available on the Yearly plan to subscribers who are eligible under App Store rules (generally, one trial per Apple Account).
- You are not charged during the trial. When it ends, it automatically becomes a paid Yearly subscription and you are charged the yearly price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
- If you cancel during the trial, you will not be charged, and Pro features stop when the trial ends (or earlier, if the App Store ends the trial when you cancel).
- Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited if you buy a subscription before the trial ends.
Billing and Renewal
- Purchases are made and billed through the Apple App Store (or Google Play Store). Payment is charged to your App Store / Play Store account when you confirm the purchase or, for the Yearly plan with a trial, when the trial ends.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
- If a subscription price changes, Apple or Google notifies you in advance as their rules require.
How to Cancel
- iPhone or iPad: open Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Arkaan Pro, then tap Cancel Subscription. You can also get there from the App Store app by tapping your profile picture, then Subscriptions.
- Android: open Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Cancelling stops the next renewal. Pro stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for.
- Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Restoring Purchases
If you reinstall the app or move to a new device, tap Restore Purchases in the app while signed in with the same Apple Account (or Google account) to get Pro back.
Earlier Pro Purchases
If you bought Arkaan Pro before version 1.3, when it was sold as a one-time purchase, you keep Pro for life at no extra cost, including the new widgets and styles. There is nothing you need to do (on a new device, use Restore Purchases). As with Lifetime, future features that run on our servers, such as AI features, will need a subscription.
Refunds
All refund requests are handled by Apple or Google in accordance with their respective policies. We do not process refunds directly. No refunds are issued for unused portions of a subscription period, except as required by applicable law or App Store / Play Store policies.
7. User Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Use the app only for lawful purposes
- Not attempt to interfere with the app's operation or security
- Keep your device and operating system reasonably up to date
8. No Account Required
Arkaan does not require account creation. All settings and data are stored locally on your device. We do not operate user accounts or authentication systems.
