Siddur & Zmanim for iPhone / iPod Touch

Customer Reviews from iTunes

$9.99 too expensive???
I would love some transliteration and English interlinear. My Hebrew is awful and I really want to get better at it.For you "price" shoppers:Don't be a schmuck. We're supposed to help our Brothers, even if it does cost us every once in a while. This is only the 3rd Jewish app and costs a lot less than picking up a cheap Siddur from Borders! Quit griping about the cost! If we don't support Jew Devs we'll be checking out all the other "religious" texts and kvetching that there isn't much for us.I've bought the other two, Pocket Luach Lite and KosherMe. Do I Love Them? They're OK. But they sure as Sh'ol aren't gonna get any better is they don't get some cash!

Finally!!
Works great but needs some improvement. Font sizes and type should be customizable. A bit over priced for what it has currently. Great first iteration. Thank you.

Great Siddur-very useful
This is a great first Siddur for the iPhone. The text is very nice and easy to read. It works in landscape mode as well-which is what I recommend using the Siddur in. It has every prayer one would need for any of the non-Sabbath or Yom-Tovim days. Basically you could use this anywhere and easily too. The Zmanim feature is great-looks up zmanin fast and displays them nicely. One feature that I would recommend for a future update is that the Siddur know what the date is so that it would only put the extra holiday prayers when it needs too. I have seen this done in a palm application and found it add an extra smartness to the Siddur. I hope the developer can figure out a way to do that here. Overall great app and worth the price!

Awesome
Finally an iPhone siddur! Would be great to include a luach that can integrate with the iPhone calendar and where you can enter birthdays and Yahrtzeit dates!

Amen
Amen

Very useful and great idea!
This is an indispensible app for when you're on the go but need to have davening available. Thanks for doing it!

Great app.
Great app. The text is very crisp and clear. The zmanim is an added bonus. Highly recomend. Please have Chabad nusach. I am sure many people will benefit from it.

Great app
A creative way to hold these prayers close to you at all times.

Sadly,
I love praying, I'm only 14 and can't afford this, wish it was free, would use this 4 times a day every day but shabbas.

Awesome!
Now, this is totally worth ten bucks. A Siddur, brachot and luach, all in one place. Excellent. The only thing I'd ask that they add is some option for English translation (transliteration would be really nice, too). My Hebrew's pretty woeful, and while I'd like to improve my davening skills, it's not entirely practical to take all day trying to wade through all the prayers. Brilliant job, though.

Worth the Wait
I've been waiting for an app like this for a long time. Easy to Read. Easy To Use. And it looks like there are plenty of cool updates in the pipeline. Worth every cent.

Best Jewish App
Best App That Must Have taken a long time so $10 is worth it

Awesome app
This is the best buy yet. A full featured siddur with zmanim and luach, with every nusach all for 10 bucks! When I had my palm, each nusach and independant feature cost at least 2x that by themselves. Kol hakavod to u guys. Tizku limitzvos

Knowing this was coming was the reason I finally let go of Palm!
I am so grateful that this App was written and so fast. The "Rustybrick" is also on top of things and going full speed to correct any omissions and enhance the program! It may not cost .99 but there is a world of work and effort put into it! Keep up the good work!

Very useful
Tizke l'mitzvot!!!

Finally
An app for us Jews Finally. Good work and I hope all of us do our part to support Jewish Devs.

Great app
My first review, sorry for my lame title. Anyway this app is great because it puts our calendar and prayers right at our fingertips. I travel all the time, for work, and it's super convenient not having to use Yellow Pages or Google to find the nearest shul. It's easy, accurate, and fun! I can't find a single thing wrong. I've even improved my Hebrew vocabulary thanks to the tri-linear feature which displays Hebrew and English text atop one another.

this is a great program. the graphics is great. the text is easy to read and the program is a pleasure to use everyday 3 times a day. Hope to see more apps from you.

Great Application, Great Developer
Truely a great and useful application and what makes it even better is the fact that the developer is also great. They are already realsing new features and the app has only been out for a couple of weeks! Well done!

amazing!
this app is incredible and extremely useful. worth every penny. buy it now!

Not Expensive!
This isn't just a Siddur. It also shows you the proper times of the prayers and includes candle lighting times for Shabbat (but not for Chaggim), and shows you the Hebrew Date and the Torah portion for Shabbat. On my Palm, these were three separate applications, and I paid more than that for them.The siddur is beautiful, and the font can be changed to make it bigger and smaller. Wonderful job!Complaints:* You can only have a single location in the Zmannim at a time. I travel, and it would be nice to have a list I can use to go back and forth. It does use the location locator, but I have an iPod Touch, so it isn't that accurate. Plus, I'd like to know when I'm calling Israel to make sure it isn't Shabbat there.* The graphics for the Luach could be improved. Every other screen is beautiful. This one looks cheap.* Some way to go back to today's date. I use the Luach to look up people's Hebrew birthday, and then I have to change it back to today's date by either quitting and going back into the application or by manually resetting the date.* I can't use it on Shabbat.

Updated from 1 star to 4 stars
Update:A new version came out (v1.5) with all the advertised features. As such, this software now deserves a 4 star. It is well done and is very practical to use. The new Luach function is limited however as it converts only from regular dates to Jewish dates. I found that Pocket Luach Lite and Siddur are good complements of each other. I use one to convert dates and the other to daven. Old Review:I was very happy to see this application on the iPhone. A Luach and a Siddur combined. Well, be careful, the screenshots do not match what the application you buy is. It is definitly false advertising:* There is no Luach - Yes, you read right. The description of the app and the screen shots show a Luach but there is none* No database of Shuls. That too is a missing advertised feature* The Zmanim screen is not configurable at all unlike the screen shots that seems to show configuration capabilities* The display of the siddur is buggy* The more tab only displays the same description about the software that you see in iTune.I hope they will release an update soon that will have all the missing features.It is one thing, like Pocket Luach Lite, to release a software with few features but saying that more will be added later.It is dishonest, however, to advertise non-existant features re-enforced with fake screenshots to help sell the product.Overall, very disapointed by the fact that this software does a lot less than what it claims it does. I am almost considering asking for a refund!

Good Sidur
I just bought this sidur to support you guys. Please add English Transliteration for this sidur.Thanks

good start
Good start but would love to see the addition of an english text option as well.
