Global Prayer Times vs MUADZIN Bot
For most readers Global Prayer Times (@global_prayer_bot) is the better pick: it works anywhere from a shared location or a city name, offers nine calculation methods, a madhab choice for Asr and a high-latitude rule, and adds a Qibla compass, the Hijri date and an interface in eight languages, free and open source. MUADZIN Bot (@muadzinbot) is the plain option: /set_location, name your city, and a reminder arrives for each prayer, but there is no Qibla, no Hijri calendar and no choice of method, and the interface is English and Indonesian only. Choose MUADZIN if you want the schedule with nothing to configure, or live in a smaller Indonesian town that its regional lists cover in detail.
