Peace be upon you. The key factor in determining iftar time is to have certainty that the time for prayer has entered. If you can rely on the call to prayer from a trustworthy source who knows the time, that is sufficient. Similarly, if you trust the prayer times provided by the apps, you can rely on them as well. This guidance is supported by both Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani, emphasizing the importance of certainty in entering the prayer time.
