How can I help?

1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen, then tap Customize.
2. Tap the area below the clock and find Davul.
3. Add the iftar countdown; do the same on your Home Screen.

During the day the countdown shows the time to iftar; after iftar it counts down to the end of suhoor.

Tap Settings › City. Pick a city from the list, or choose My location to use your location. Location is used only on your phone, to calculate the times.

Under Settings › Reminders › Suhoor reminder, choose 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes before Fajr. You can turn the iftar and Fajr reminders on or off in the same place.

• Reminders are scheduled only for the days of Ramadan; no reminders before Ramadan is expected.
• In your iPhone’s Settings › Notifications › Davul, make sure notifications are allowed.
• If a Focus (Do Not Disturb) is on, reminders may arrive silently.
• Reminders are scheduled on the phone; opening Davul now and then during Ramadan lets it schedule the coming days.

Davul calculates the times on your phone with the Diyanet (Turkey) method. Official timetables are prepared with details such as district and altitude, so a difference of a minute or two is possible. Leave a margin at suhoor, and if you are ever unsure, follow the official timetable where you are.

In My fasts, tap a day to mark it kept, missed or empty. You can mark taraweeh on the same screen. The Make-up fasts counter is for fasts owed from previous years; lower it with minus as you make them up. All of this stays on your phone.

On the day of Eid the Today screen says “Eid Mubarak”. What you marked in My fasts and your make-up fast counter stay on your phone.

Davul has no server; everything is on your phone. Deleting the app deletes your city, your settings and your fast tracker.
