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 Philadelphia is normal rather than an error — it usually means they use different parameters, not that one is wrong. Mozzi defaults to ISNA here and lets you change it.
Across the year, Fajr in Philadelphia ranges from about 03:54 at its earliest to 06:02 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 Philadelphia today, about 53 minutes later. If Asr looks wrong to you and everything else looks right, that setting is almost always the reason.
Getting the adhan in Philadelphia
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.
