Just wanted to alert you that the last few Hebrew paragraphs in Tefillas HaDerech are not translated into English. As a result, when one scrolls down, the English is not aligned with the Hebrew. (When one is reading, "Blessed are You, HASHEM, Hearer of prayer" the Hebrew is on, "Yismah HASHEM panav alechah v'yasei l'chah shalom"). Also, I came across an alternate version of this prayer for plane travel at some point - is it possible to include that in the app? Thanks for this wonderful resource!

posted by David Weintraub on: Dec 28, 2012 05:18pm

I just started saying Kaddish for my father. It would be nice if the Kaddish D' Yehe Shelama and Kaddish D'Rabbanan were more easily accessible especially since these kaddishes are said at times other than prayer times. Plus, it would also be nice if they had a good transliteration. I'd also like to request two other changes. One is to have a separate silent Amidah from the repetition since things like the Kiddusha aren't said during the silent Amidah. On the fast of Tevet, I got confused by the two different places Anenu is said between the silent Amidah and the repetition. It would make using the Siddur easier. Along the same lines, some of the "meditation" text takes up several lines on my iPhone, For example, in the third paragraph of the Shema. Can this be made collapsible? I really love the Siddur application. It makes davening much easier since I don't have to flip between various books or pages when special sections like the Hallel are said.

posted by Sam Adler on: Sep 28, 2012 07:27pm

Would be great to have the ability to page down. Ideally a swipe right or left, or tap once, or use the volume keys to page down as you're davening. I don't use the app that often to daven, but when i do, i always tried to remember to write you to ask about this... :) i finaly remembered. Would be an awesome feature.

Have you experienced any issues on Rosh Chodesh? Because some of these items are time based and others are date based. I haven't seen any issues. Changing the date on the phone can work for testing, but the time would need to be changed too and the tefilla would need to be refreshed.

In the sepheradic siddur for iPad the amida is different than in the iPhone app (which is the one I am used to). Why is that?

posted by Fishel Erps on: Dec 8, 2010 01:10am

Hello, a gutten chodesh and a freilichin Chanukah! I just wanted to point out a few things. 1) the minyan feature in the siddur sometimes omits shuls. This morning IY was there, and now it's not. I'm in the same geographic location. 2) in the menorah app, the last paragraph of ma'oz tzur has a typo. It should be key orca lanu hayishua. Instead it has key orca hasha'ah.

Fishel: As far as point (2) is concerned, there are numerous variant readings for much of Maoz Tzur, especially the last paragraph. The version in the siddur is NOT a typo, but a different reading from yours, and in fact, probably a more accurate version as well.

But there is one issue that really bothers me and I just don't get it, which is that most apps, browsers, iBooks etc. Have a full screen option which upon touching the screen it toggles between full screen and the other icons on bottom and top. Is there any reason siddur dosnt do this? Fix this and you get 8 stars!!! Thank You!

I think that they berochos, haneros halolu and mo'oz tzur should all be there, in the siddur, just as the berochos before and after the megilla reading should be (are they? I haven't checked - if not, there is an extra month to get them in this year!). Not everyone wants to have yet another app with pretty pictures of channuka candles on their machine.
