| contents | This research explores the implementation of a spherical trigonometry algorithm in the development of QiblatKita, a mobile-based Qibla direction application designed to address the need for accurate and accessible prayer direction tools for Muslims, especially in the context of global mobility and diverse geographical settings. Built using the Flutter framework to ensure cross-platform compatibility and near-native performance, the application integrates critical device sensors, including GPS, magnetometer, and accelerometer, to collect real-time positional and orientation data. The Agile Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) was adopted to facilitate iterative refinement and responsiveness to user feedback. By applying the Haversine formula and Spherical Law of Cosines, the system calculates the azimuth angle between the user's location and the Kaaba with high precision, achieving an angular deviation of less than one degree in testing. The results confirm that QiblatKita offers a stable, user-friendly, and scientifically grounded solution, effectively merging spherical trigonometry with modern mobile technology to support religious practice in the digital era. |
