always crashes. Still no updated support

Crashes With iPhone OS 4

Your product worked great, until Apple came out with their latest update for iPhone. Now your product crashes within two seconds of startup. Please hurry up with a fix please. Todah

Great app!

It works fine and I have the iPhone 4. No complaints here. Its easy to use, would recommend this app

Pocket Luach

Calendar function is very good, although you have to play with it a little to understand all its functions. It has Zmanim for most major cities for prayer times (like earliest and latest times for Shema). It is a bit slow loading. It has Mincha, Maariv, and Shacharit prayers if you are in a pinch. Not as good as a Siddur, but helpful when the Siddur is at home. I gave it a 4 stars, but it is arguably 5 stars, given how inexpensive it is. Part of my problem with it is that the Siddur does not allow scaling to a bigger size, for people like me who do better with larger print. It also does not shift when the IPOD is held horizontally. Minor quibbles. Maybe a 4 1/2 star app?

Not good

Always crush !!!money back please

Great App

We love this app. Both myself and my four boys have it installed and use it religiously.... Pun intended. The only change I would like to see is the texts it transliteration as well.

Luach is gone!

Luach has been replaced on by iPhone be "Jewish clock" that crashes on startup. What has happened?

The best of its kind very good program

I have tried them all and this is the best. Enough said... אני מאוד ממליץ שווה את התשלום ב 100% מי שבנה את התוכנה הנל גאון התוכנה מתרגמת כל יום שאתם רוצים גם בתאריך עברי ולועזי, התוכנה נותנת את כל החגים היהודים...מזכירה מתי ראש חודש זמנים של כניסת ויציאת שבת בכל מקום שאתם נמצאים...ועוד המון .....תפילות ברכות זמן קריאת שמע .... ממליץ בהערכה רבה תודה על הלוח מצויין לכל יהודי בעולם... מני פרץ

Add Hallel and Bedtime Shema!

It would be great if the Siddur was integrated with the calendar so, for instance, if it was Rosh Chodesh, the Siddur would automatically add in those changes to davening.

Great app, has it all.

I have the iPhone 4S, and I have no crashing problems at all. Great calendar, shows times to pray, and all the festivals. Even has prayer book and many other great features. Worth the $1.99 I paid for it!

Worked well till iOS 7

Since iOS 7, I can no longer search for locations. I deleted the app. from my phone, then resynched it onto the phone from iTunes. Now I dont have any of the locations that were captured before iOS. I had to manually load longitude, lat, and altitude for my current location. I have emailed the author of the app twice over the last month, and havent received an acknowledgement. I understand it takes time to fix bugs, but Id at least expect a return email. while the app is still usable, when I go out of town the next time, its going to be a pain to reload location by hand.

Excellent app

This has a very intuitive for viewing parsha and zmanim. Very helpful app!

Must have app for any Yid.

This is a must have app for any Yid. Highly recommend it.

Consumer

Horrible!!! it is stuck on trying to find my location even when I ask it not to do so and does not work.

Must need updating

I am running iOS 8 on an iPhone 6. I have no way of rating it because it crashed on the start up screen! I would go back to the Rusty Brick Siddur but theyve added so much Hebrew that I dont understand the program anymore. I will just have to keep looking!

Does not work well with iOS 8/8.1

Does not work well with iOS 8/8.1. Frizzes at find current location stage, and cannot move on.

Review

Used to work great, now using iPhone 6+ IOS 8.1 - locks up at startup. Please fix, used to love this app!

This app is great! After installing latest update I have numbers, which increase every time after the app was opened. Cannot clear the number. Please advise

Must know Hebrew dates to use this

Not good for converting TO the Hebrew calander; must already know the Hebrew date, and it will tell you the Gregorian calander date. Can only go up or down one day at a time unless you already know Hebrew date you want to look up.
