Terms of Use
The short version. iDeen is free to use for your own personal, non-commercial use. Prayer times, the Qibla and calendar dates are careful calculations, but please confirm them with your local mosque or scholars. The app is provided as it is, without guarantees, and the Learn section is general education, not a religious ruling (fatwa).
1. Agreement
These terms are an agreement between you and iDeen ("we", "us"), the maker of the iDeen app ("the app"). By downloading or using the app you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
2. Your licence to use the app
We give you a free, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. The app has no price, subscription or in-app purchase.
3. Please do not
- Sell, rent or redistribute the app, or publish modified copies of it.
- Copy, alter or present the app's Quran text in a changed form as if it came from iDeen.
- Use the app to break any law, or to overload or disrupt the services it connects to.
- Remove the credits or licence notices shown in the app's About screen.
4. Religious content, calculations and accuracy
- Quran text. The Arabic text is shown exactly as published by its source (see the About screen). If you ever notice a mistake, please tell us straight away so we can check and fix it.
- Translation. The English meaning is the translation by Marmaduke Pickthall (1930). A translation is a human understanding of the meaning, not the Quran itself.
- Prayer times are calculated from your location using the calculation method and Asr school you choose. Methods differ between countries and communities. Always follow your local mosque's timetable where it differs.
- Qibla direction depends on your location and on your phone's compass, which can be disturbed by metal, magnets and other electronics. Calibrate and check against a known direction when it matters.
- Islamic calendar dates are calculated. The start of a month depends on the moon sighting in your community, which can differ by a day or more. You can adjust the date in the app.
- Learn lessons are general, introductory education. They are not a fatwa and do not replace learning from a qualified teacher or scholar.
5. Notifications
The app schedules Athan alerts and reminders on your phone, but your phone decides when to deliver them. Battery saving, Do Not Disturb, Focus modes, restarting the phone or changing time zones can delay or block them. Please do not rely on the app alone for the time of prayer or fasting.
6. Outside services and content
Some features depend on free services run by others: recitation audio from EveryAyah.com, mosque locations from OpenStreetMap through public Overpass servers, map tiles from OpenFreeMap and, where switched on, weather from Apple Weather. We do not control these services. They may change, slow down or stop at any time, and the information they provide (for example a mosque's location) may be incomplete or out of date. Their content stays under its own licences, which are credited in the app.
7. Ownership
The app's design, code, name and logo belong to iDeen. The Quran text, translation, recitations, fonts, map data and other third-party material belong to their owners and are used under their licences or as public-domain works. These terms do not give you any rights in our name or logo.
8. No warranty
We work hard to make iDeen accurate and reliable, and we offer it free for the sake of Allah. To the extent the law allows, the app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, iDeen will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from a missed or late notification, a calculation difference, or an outside service, that results from using or being unable to use the app. Because the app is free, our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to zero, or to the lowest amount the law allows if that is higher.
Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under consumer-protection laws of your country that cannot be excluded by agreement, or our liability where it cannot be limited by law.
10. Changes and ending use
We may update the app, add or remove features, or stop offering it. We may update these terms; the date at the top will change and continued use of the app after an update means you accept the new terms. You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. If you break these terms, your licence ends.
11. App stores
If you got iDeen from Google Play or the Apple App Store, that store's own terms also apply to your download. If you got the app from Apple's App Store: these terms are between you and iDeen, not Apple; Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app; Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the app (including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, or intellectual property claims); if the app fails to meet any applicable warranty you may notify Apple, and Apple's only obligation is to refund any price paid (which is none); and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them. You confirm you are not in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
