Getting the prayer times just right

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

First off, I would like to apologize to everyone who has been waiting for an update to Guidance. I’ve been busy in the last month or so writing the Prayer Times web app for the iPhone and playing around with the newly released iPhone SDK in preparation for developing Guidance Mobile.

Prayer Times iPhone Web App Released!

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008
I am pleased to announce the release of the Prayer Times iPhone Web App. Prayer Times allows you to view the prayer times for your current location in an iPhone friendly format. Simply go to m.guidanceapp.com in your iPhone to make use of this web app. Rest Assured that this is not the iPhone version of Guidance, for that I am still waiting for the iPhone SDK. The iPhone version of Guidance will be a fully featured prayer times program with lots of features. I don’t want to say anything just yet, I want to see what exactly the SDK allows before making that announcement. Anyway, please use the Prayer Times web app in the meantime.
