Happy Chanukah Android Users: Android Menorah
Chanukah is just around the corner and we thought it would be a fun treat to build a smart Menorah for Android users. So we released the Android Menorah today.
The Android Menorah is a lot like our iPhone Menorah but with some differences unique to the Android mobile platform.
The App provides:
- Visual Aid for How to Light Each Night
- Brachot and Traditional Songs in Hebrew, English and Transliterated
- Brachot and Traditional Songs in Audio form
- Indicator when the first night of Chanukah is (when not currently Chanukah)
- Widget For Home Screen
The Widget is likely the only unique part of this app from the iPhone. You should also know that Hebrew won't render on Android OS version 2.1 or lower. Plus, Nikud with Hebrew is not supported yet also. But between the standard Hebrew, Transliteration and the audio - this should help any Jew light candles this Chanukah.
It is available as a free download in the Android App Market, for more information see our Android Menorah and to be alerted for more upcoming RustyBrick Android apps, sign up on our Android Apps page.

i downloaded this app, todah rabbah, but have a question: my friend has a iPhone app of a Khanukkiah, and he is able to finger drag the flame/shamash candle to light the other candles on each night. Neat huh? Just thought you might be interested in making this app more interactive in a similar way. Keep up the good work! Shabbat Shalom!
