Prayer times in Madinah
Madinah sits three degrees north of Makkah, so its day stretches and shortens a little more across the year. Isha follows the Umm al-Qura rule of a fixed ninety minutes after Maghrib, which the Prophet’s Mosque publishes too.

Why timetables disagree
Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun sits below the horizon, and different authorities settled on different angles. A few minutes of variation between two timetables for Madinah is normal rather than an error — it usually means they use different parameters, not that one is wrong. Mozzi defaults to Umm al-Qura University here and lets you change it.
Across the year, Fajr in Madinah ranges from about 04:01 at its earliest to 05:45 at its latest. That spread is the single biggest reason a printed timetable goes stale.
Asr, and the two calculations
Asr is the one prayer where the difference is large rather than marginal. The Hanafi calculation places it noticeably later than the Shafiʿi, Maliki and Hanbali one — in Madinah today, about 59 minutes later. If Asr looks wrong to you and everything else looks right, that setting is almost always the reason.
Getting the adhan in Madinah
Mozzi plays a real call to prayer at each time rather than a notification chime, and on iOS 26 it can sound through Silent mode and Focus the way an alarm does. Times are calculated on your phone, so it keeps working with no signal.
