“The feedback has just been overwhelming,” Carib Pulishing CEO Andreas Roell announced in statement cited by Presswire.

“The Ramadan app provides users a temporary experience “because users have to launch it each time they want to use it, and then exit out of it when they want to use their regular phone features”.

Creating a Ramadan-themed environment, the app offers various graphics that presents the soul of the holy fasting month.

“Experience Ramadan like never before! Turn your phone into a complete experience to celebrate the Holy month with Ramadan Phone – rich in graphics, tools and resources all related to Ramadan,” the Ramadan app wrote in its website.

“From daily changing prayer themed wallpapers and lock screen images, to custom Holy month phone icons along with calendars, prayer schedules, audio recitations, the complete Holy Quran and so much more – you will receive an experience that is both dynamic and life changing.”

Developers of the app, which was produced in less than 60 days, aspire to make it the most downloaded app at Google store for the year after being ranked the most downloaded by Google store in the Ramadan category.

“This is the first in a series of themed experiences we will be developing in the next few months,” said Roell.

The highly rated Ramadan app was announced to offer free access for its Muslim users around the world.

The creative Ramadan app has several features that include, audio recitation of Ramadan prayers, extensive selection of Ramadan nasheeds  as ringtones, a Qibla locator (Direction to Makkah) and full screen view of the Islamic Hiijri Calendar

It also offers full Qur’an translations with phonetics, prayer schedule, reminders for ifthar and fasting times, sending Ramadan greetings directly to contacts, vital health tips for Ramadhan, along with spiritual messages and prayer messaging throughout the day with easy access.
