This is the only app I have ever done a review for ever. Often, women are an afterthought when it comes to designing literally anything. After seeing a video on how this app came to be, I immediately downloaded it. Instantly, I was amazed not only by the clean design, but also by the lack of ads. It is obvious that every click was created with intent and meaning. I am beyond ecstatic that such an app was created for Muslim women with so much consideration. As if it couldn’t get any better, the developers are constantly seeking ways to make the app better via hearing what the users think. May the developers of this app be showered with blessings and success in their lives!
Developer Response
Ameen, jazakAllah khair for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. This genuinely means the world to our team. We built nafs with Muslim women in mind from the very beginning, so hearing that you felt seen, considered, and supported by the app is exactly why we keep going. May Allah reward you for your kind words and place barakah in your life. We’re just getting started inshaAllah!
Too many bugs and bad support
Arena34
I really wanted to love this, but after the terrible experience I’ve had with the ad pop ups blocking my access entirely, terrible customer support, and just a jumble of bug issues, I’ve been forced to delete my account through the back end. What are you supposed to do when you literally cannot access the app because of constant ads about subscriptions blocking your access? And refusal for help from customer service on top of that. The fasting tracking was also hella confusing and needed work. And, the only device available for syncing was apple watch. People have other devices! I really wanted to like this but I do hope this experience improves, far too many bugs and the organization is cluttered and confusing. Also, why is there no login button when you first download the app? I have to remake my profile, which is hugely inconvenient. Please also improve your support outreach.
Developer Response
nafs does not contain third-party ads, so there are no ad pop-ups blocking access to the app. If you were referring to our subscription screen, that’s part of onboarding and not advertising.Regarding support, we responded to every email we received from you and attempted to help resolve the issues. When we don’t receive a reply after multiple follow-ups, we close the support ticket so we can focus on users with active requests. We’re always happy to reopen it if you reach back out.
Amazing app, clean ux

Love the app. It has everything I need and more in an Islamic app. I literally deleted 2 others apps because this one has everything. My one feedback is the Quran listening experience. There should be a dedicated tab you can go to to listen to the Quran just like you can read. Right now when I try to listen to the Quran I go through many routes to get there and when I do listen to the surah, it does not play the next one afterwards. I have to go back in and select the next surah. Continuous listening would be amazing and a dedicated listening tab. JazakAllah khair
100% recommend!!!

As a Muslim revert I used the Athan app for the longest time. And throughout the years I have come across other apps I have wanted to try. I used Flo to track my cycle as well. And WALLAH this is the best app I have ever come across. They have everything in one app. Tracking my cycle has become so much easier with this app as well as learning, keeping track of missed fasts, journaling, and of course PRIVACY, NO AI, NO ADS, and cheaper than paying for Flo and Athan at the same time. Alhumdulilah for this amazing app and may Allah grant an abundance of blessings to the brothers and sisters helping build this app! Ameen. Thank YOU🫶🏼
