Reviewed by: CNET Staff on May 16, 2006
A modern aid for an ancient tradition, Athan Basic helps Muslims perform daily prayers anywhere in the world. On first start-up, you choose your location from a pull-down list of cities and towns. From there, Athan Basic runs in the background, automatically issuing the call to prayer at the appropriate times each day.
You can choose an Athan from Makkah, Madina, or Al-Aqsa (the for-pay version includes several more); the program supports the Standard and Hanafi juristic methods and a variety of ways to calculate sunrise and sunset. The neatly organized application window displays your latitude and longitude and a simple compass for orienting yourself toward Mecca.
If you're often far from your computer, you can print out prayer times for a month. Happily, the program doesn't take much system memory while running in the background. Straightforward and helpful, Athan Basic is a great download for observant Muslims.

Version: Athan (Azan) Basic 3
"Salaat Time is still better!"
Pros: Has all the basic reminder necessities and a few impressive add-on features (Azan: Makkah, Madina, Aqsa)
Cons: The alternative program "Salaat Time" (search for download in Google) is a lot more detailed, pragmatically useful and user-friendly!

Version: Athan (Azan) Basic 3
"It is the best software ever, I listen to the Athan for every prayer."
Pros: It is very useful. It reminds of my prayers.
It says the Athan 5 times a day on the right time without me setting it up (like an alarm). I just setup the location and the software does the rest.
It looks very professional.
I recommend it for everyone.
