The Timer between the Athan and Ikama
Mohammed Al Nabet
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله
I absolutely love this app and I think this feature would make the score on the app more fair, as a prayer is not considered missed until the Ikama.
The timer right after Athan is not accurate, so I am forced to say that I prayed even though I haven’t prayed in the mosque yet because the prayer in the mosque begins at Ikama.
My request would be if the timer right after Athan would be the exact time between Athan and Ikama for each Prayer so I can at least press the button that says that I have prayed five minutes for the Ikama on my way to the mosque.
For example in my country the Ikama for Asr is 25 minutes after the Athan and my timer for that prayer reads 13 minutes so I’m forced to say that I have prayed even though I haven’t prayed yet just to get my score.

Jazakallah for the feedback. You're right that the current timer is too tight for mosque attendance. In a future update, we're expanding Salah Focus to a 1-hour window after Athan, which covers Ikama and the prayer at the masjid in most cases. You'll still be able to tap "mark as prayed" anytime during that window to end Focus early once you've actually prayed, so you won't be forced to mark prayed before you have. Thanks for helping us improve Prayer Pause.
