Original release notes

More du'aas in the guide
• The verse recited at Maqam Ibrahim (Qur'an 2:125), the du'aa after the two raka'at, and the du'aa for drinking Zamzam are now included after Tawaaf — with Arabic, transliteration and meaning in all four languages.

More reliable counting
• Resting during Tawaaf no longer affects your lap count. Take as long a break as you need.
• Sa'ee now keeps counting correctly when your screen locks or the app is minimised mid-circuit.

Corrections and polish
• The distance between Safa and Marwah is now shown correctly as approximately 450 metres.
• Every du'aa now reads identically in the guide and on the ritual screens.
• Larger, easier-to-tap buttons throughout.
• Fixed unreadable text on several cards in dark mode.

As always, Safwa works fully offline and nothing you do in the app leaves your device.
