Dawn - Bahá'í Writings 4+

The perfect app

This app combines all the essential elements of prayer and organization as well as incorporates thoughtful and aesthetic design. I used to switch between several apps in order to access the compass, the 95 counter, prayers/writings and even the calendar. This app does it ALL!! And now I need to rave about design. The graphic/aesthetics of this app is so so refreshing. It makes me feel excited to share it with non Baha’is. It’s modern, cohesive, clean and even puts me in a calm state of prayer. Lord it is so good. Everything feels like a misty etherial dream. It makes me so happy. This app is everything!!!

I love it

I love the modern youthful style of the app. I love the idea of the greetings when you open the app. It has the Baha’i days and months. It’s organized in a beautiful way. I also like the fact that when you are on a specific quotation it can take you to the official reference library when you press on the link button at the bottom of the page. I just love it so much. My sister shared it with me and I shared it with my husband. I will share it with more friends.

Excellent. Qiblih direction update forthcoming

Excellent. It’s great how the app offers context of the excerpts, including precise links to official source!

Edit: The developers updated the Qiblih direction calculation to use the more accurate Great Circle method.

Edit 2: The math appears right for determining the angle between the red pointer and the direction towards the Qiblih. However, the way the pointer moves as we turn is a bit confusing. Suggestion: Keep the arrow stationary, pointing up on the screen (could also be not shown), and allow the the compass to rotate with the same angle calculations used now.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the comment! We’ll actually be making an update to the Qiblih compass to use the Great Circle method amongst other things, so keep an eye out for that in the next few days!
