A few tweaks needed

The readings are nice and I appreciate the English and Hebrew on the other side of the cards. A few fixes would make this app perfect:

1. When you look at the whole list you can’t tell where you are. There should be some way of marking your progress so at a glance you know you have read up to day “#”
2. On my screen the very bottom of the card on the blessing side is cut off.
3. When I get the notification at sundown and click on the app it tells me todays reading isn’t available yet.
4. My back and forward arrow buttons don’t work.

Ok Omer App

Some issues getting this app’s day one correct and the reminder alarm to work. They seem to be connected to location settings.

Daily quotes are thoughtful so far, though not connected to the sfirot so far.

I downloaded this for the gender neutral-ish translation of the blessing. That is helpful.

I'm sorry you're having trouble. It seems to be working on my device. Would you try deleting and reinstalling the app?

Does not work again

This app does not work, yet again. I guess I just bought it for a one time use. Very disappointing.

Great App for Counting the Omer

This is truly a wonderful app. It’s simple and perfect. Each day shows a beautiful saying with a photograph behind. Our Rabbi showed us the cards a couple of years ago and it’s so nice to have them on my phone because I procrastinated ordering them 🤣. You have to allow the app to use your phones location services to sync with your daily calendar. Thank you!

Doesn’t Tell Me What I Want To Know

I downloaded this app specifically to get the days’ count easily. Unfortunately the Todays Reading feature doesn’t work (even after I updated the app today.) Ergo I still have to figure out the count AND I’m not reading the inspirational pages since the process is too convoluted. Great idea. Not ready for prime time. Refund?

I'm sorry you're still having trouble even after updating. Perhaps you can try deleting the app and reinstalling from the app store? Please email me directly if you're still having trouble: dmedwin@ccarnet.org Thanks!

Oops. Has the wrong dates for 2018 / 5778

Updated 4 April (20 Nisan) - The calendar function now has been fixed on the iPad version. Much better! Brief, thought-provoking thoughts for counting the Omer.

So it’s now sundown, Saturday night, 31 March 2018 / 16 Nisan. When I go into the app and click on “Today’s Reading,”I receive the error message: “Unfortunately, the counting of the Omer has ended for this year. Feel free to browse through the cards, and check back after sundown on April 1, 2018.”
