First thing I would do when comparing times is to make sure you have the same coordinates. it's usually the main cause for getting different times
then if the accuracy varies throughout the year (like if there's 1 minute error then 5 minutes error another time) , it's either a different calculation angle, or with different parameters and lastly there can be some calculation or rounding error when everything else is not the cause sometimes some methods, like diyanet of turkey, have special rules or calculation settings that makes it hard for apps/calculators to follow, and need you to access their times through internet (which al-azan does not do)
about suggestions:
Thank you for your replies. Understandable about removing internet connection, especially for FOSS project. Though, for the point about server, there is the option of hosting on GitHub a la Tachiyomi repos.
I don't think I noticed any warning. I think an entire page with proper explanation and "I Understand" checkbox that USER is the one that's supposed to adjust the times would be very good, yes. In addition, the adjustment page should be more prominent in that case.
Describe the bug Assalamualaikum akhi/ukhti, thank you for the app, I highly appreciated the existence of an open-source Adzan app due to my concerns with Muslim Pro data collection practices. However, I have a concern:
The prayer times for Indonesia seems a bit off. The times from Muslim Pro (below in screenshot) seems a bit closer to what the local mosque accepts (for this day, it is: Fajr/Subuh at 04:43, Syuruq at 05:59, Dzuhur at 12:02, Asr at 15:21, Maghrib at 17:56, Isya at 19:08).
The accuracy varies out of the year, of course, but Al-Azan has more often been both earlier and marginally less accurate than Muslim Pro.
To Reproduce Set Lat to -6.2411196 and Long to 106.8573645, check between Al-Azan, Muslim Pro, and official Kemenag times.
Expected behavior Err on being a bit later on most of them, particularly for Maghrib for peace of mind when breaking fast, or otherwise in lockstep with Kemenag times for the district.

Additional context A few things I'd like to suggest:
Thank you for your time and effort regardless, wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Edit: It seems that following Muslim Pro manual correction of 2,-2,3,2,2,2 worked, so that makes me wonder how they found their correction.
