Install Better Deen on your iPhone

This is a test version, not the App Store one. You install it yourself with a free Apple ID and a computer (Windows or Mac). The first time takes about ten minutes.

Good to know. The app expires after 7 days and you renew it the same way (your data stays). This build has no widgets, purchases or paywall.

Before you start

  • Your iPhone and its charging cable
  • A Windows PC or a Mac
  • An Apple ID. A free one is enough, and a spare one is a good idea.
  • The file better-deen-0.17.14-unsigned.ipa. The Better Deen team sends you the download link.

1. Install the tools (once)

On Windows
  1. Install iTunes from Apple’s website. Not the Microsoft Store version.
  2. Install iCloud for Windows from Apple’s website. Not the Microsoft Store version.
  3. Install Sideloadly. Restart the PC if it asks.
On a Mac
  1. Install Sideloadly. You do not need iTunes or iCloud on a Mac.
  2. If macOS blocks it the first time, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

2. Install Better Deen

  1. Connect the iPhone. Plug it in, unlock it, tap Trust on “Trust This Computer?” and enter your passcode.
  2. Drop the file into Sideloadly. Your iPhone appears at the top. Drag the .ipa into the window.
  3. Sign in and start. Type your Apple ID email and press Start. Enter your password, and the two-factor code if you have one. Wait for Done. Sideloadly sends your Apple ID only to Apple.
  4. Trust the app on the iPhone. Settings → General → VPN & Device Management → your Apple ID email → Trust. On iOS 16 or later, also turn on Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode, restart and confirm Turn On.
  5. Open Better Deen and allow notifications, so you can test the adhan.

3. Every 7 days: renew

The app stops opening after a week. Repeat step 2 with the same file (or the new one if we send an update) and the same Apple ID. It installs over the old app and keeps your data.

To skip the cable: on Windows, in iTunes open the iPhone page and turn on Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi. On a Mac, in Finder select the iPhone and turn on Show this iPhone when on Wi-Fi. Keep both on the same network, then right-click the app in Sideloadly and choose Auto-refresh.

Something not working?

Sideloadly does not see my iPhone

Try another cable or USB port, unlock the iPhone and tap Trust. On Windows, check that iTunes came from apple.com and not the Microsoft Store.

“Untrusted Developer” when I open the app

Go to Settings → General → VPN & Device Management and trust your Apple ID.

The app stopped opening after a week

It expired. Install it again from Sideloadly with the same file and Apple ID. Your data stays.

“Maximum number of apps” or “App ID limit”

Free Apple IDs allow 3 apps installed this way and 10 App IDs per week. Delete another sideloaded app, or try again in a few days.

My Apple ID login fails

Use your Apple ID password. If Apple asks for an app-specific password, create one at account.apple.com under Sign-In and Security → App-Specific Passwords.

I cannot find Developer Mode

Try the install once first, then look again in Settings → Privacy & Security. It appears after an app that needs it is on the phone.

What to try

  • Prayer times for your city, and marking prayers as done
  • Notifications and the adhan with the app closed
  • The Quran reader and audio, also with the screen locked
  • The games: Salah Quest is landscape, everything else is portrait
  • Ask Deen

When something goes wrong, send us

  1. What you did, and what you expected
  2. What happened. A screenshot or screen recording helps a lot.
  3. Your iPhone model and iOS version
