Is there a way to fix date #10

Yesterday evening the calendar was showing 30 Muharam while it's the 1st of Safar. Is there any menu in settings that allows me to edit date

The problem is that Lunar calendars are not accurate by nature!

As I know, each country has it's own rules, some has formulated calendars like Egypt, some doesn't and every year they estimate and each month they make a more accurate decision.

There are two ways to fix this problem:

  1. Add a field to fix the day, which can have a number from -2 to 2
  2. Have an external service to use, which should be based on country and/or algorithm. Then you can have a field in the settings to define country. Here is my idea about this: https://github.com/omid/Hijri-Calendar-Correction
