iPhone Code

A new application is coming to the App Store.

Qibla is the Arabic word for the direction to the Kaaba in Mecca.

It’s a first, with Iphone 3GS and its integrated compass, no more astrolabe is needed to find it wherever you are.

It runs also on Iphones 3G / Ipod Touch but then you need a real compass.

The webpages concerning this app are on my website.

More details

Available today :

• Qiblah 1.02: Heading display and french translation
• Qiblih 1.02: French translation

Clic on app name for details.

Frederic already tested the refusal mail from apple in June. I’ve had my share too … Qiblah 1.10 sent on Aug 24th has been refused Sept 05th.
I’ve done my homework and, in about a week, you should get :

• 1.10 New theme for compass display. Double tap on the compass to change view.
• 1.11 Minor bugfix for unauthorized access to location.
