Qiblih is, in the Baháí Faith, the direction that should be faced during prayers.
It points to the Shrine of Baháulláh, near `Akká.
You no longer need an astrolabe or another costly device. Your iPhone can help you.
Depending on your model, there are 2 options :
- With an iintegrated compass, just wait one or two seconds and your device will point the Qiblih.
The screen displays "Delta" with angular difference.
- With an older model or an iPod Touch, youll need a real compass to find magnetic north. Then set the top of your device pointing the same direction. The arrow on the device will show you the Qiblih direction.
The screen displays "Compass bearing" with magnetic declination included.
No network access is required if you have GPS on your unit.
Double tap on the compass to change its aspect.
Latest reviews of Qiblih app for iPhone and iPad
This app is a rip off. It has no compass in it, even though it advertises that it does. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
I have an iPhone 4S and it works great for me.
Awesome! Thanks!
It works great with IPhone 5. In California it points to N to NE, which makes sense as the shortest direction to Bahji.
Great idea, but it needs to work. Mine points north and I live in Colorado. My compass works fine, so I dont understand why this wouldnt work. Saw the same issue on 2 other family devices.
