Moreover, Fajr and Isha are always nan:nan in (Lat 54.9881, Long -1.6194) using MWL method and all options for high latitude adjustment.
Thank you for testing it! Yeh I came across the problem with it exiting randomly and I've seen a few other threads about this happening to Qt apps. I still dont know the cause but will try putting in a few lines of debugging in my code to see where it breaks.

The other issue you've mentioned is very strange. I was able to reproduce it by using the co-ordinates you mentioned with the a timezone of +1. However instead of 'nan' i got 12:00am for both fajr and isha. Ill look into that today and will hopefully have it fixed by the end of the day (inshallah).
edit: setting the time format to 24hour will result in nan:nan.

In other news, I managed to get the Auto Configure button to work with the phone's built in GPS so users dont need to know where in the world they are in order to use mPrayerTime. I will release a new version once I have the bug above fixed.
