Get your masjid on the Community app

Open Community app. Under Get more people on it you'll find everything you need:

• Download A4 poster: a poster with a QR code to print and put up in the masjid.
• Add a screen slide to my slides (paid plans): a ready-made slide of the poster. It goes in your slides and you add it to whichever playlist you like. It can't be edited, but you can press Update the screen slide if your logo or name changes.
• A link, masjidconnect.co.uk/app, that opens the App Store on iPhone. Android is coming soon, so Android phones open the Community app page for now.
• A message ready to paste into your WhatsApp groups.

When people open the app, they search for your masjid and choose it, then allow notifications. Nobody needs an account. An announcement after Jumu'ah works well too.

• Home: a countdown to the next jamaat, a sun-arc of the day's prayers, and today's start and jamaat times. People can mark a prayer as prayed.
• Prayers: the week ahead, from your timetable, with a reminder for each prayer. See Add your prayer times.
• Quran: the reader, with a translation, bookmarks and audio, when you leave it on.
• Masjid: notices, events people can book, a link to your donation page when giving is on, and About. See Add an announcement, Add events and take bookings and Take donations online and by card.
• More: the Qibla compass, Ask the imam when you have it on, and the prayer tracker. On iPhone, settings also explain the home-screen widget. See Answer questions with Ask the Imam.
• About, inside Masjid: your description, address, contact details, opening hours, social links and active committees. Edit them on Community app → Your masjid page.

Changes reach phones the next time someone opens the app. When Give is off it still shows in the app, with a note asking people to speak to you. Turning off Ask the imam also hides it in the portal.

The Community app overview and the Dashboard show your followers. A follower is a phone with your masjid chosen that has opened the app in the last 90 days, with or without an account. The overview also shows how many opened the app in the last 30 days, how many get your notifications, new followers each week and how many use iPhone or Android.
