Does not work anymore!

Worked perfectly on my Apple Watch 7. Just got a new Apple Ultra 2 watch and even though App Store says app is purchased (from before) it does not show up in Apple Watch App to use within watch face options or as app on the watch itself. Very frustrating. Help please!

Cannot remove app stuck in my phone

This app is not allowing me to remove it and i cannot access it
poor app no support

I need help!

I installed Hebcal a month ago and was very pleased. I need the Hebrew date everyday since I’m a teacher in a Jewish school. Last week, the wrong date appeared on my watch. When I pressed the app on my watch , it reverted to the whole face description and showed the correct date. But when the IWatch face showed, it was still on the wrong date. I deleted the app from my iPhone and wanted to reinstall Hebcal and was unable to find it on my iPhone. When I go to the App Store it shows that it is purchased. How can I correct this situation? THANK YOU! Your suggestion to go through my watch to the App Store and download it that way worked!

If you install Hebcal for your Apple Watch and then delete it, it may be difficult to reinstall. This problem occurs because the Hebcal watch app does not have a companion iPhone app. To reinstall the app on your watch, you won’t be able to use the App Store on your iPhone. Instead, you will need to open the App Store on the watch itself and search for (and install) Hebcal. Press the Digital Crown to see the Home screen, then tap the App Store. Then, search for Hebcal. If you’ve downloaded the Hebcal app before, you’ll see a blue cloud icon with an arrow pointing downwards. Tap the blue cloud download icon to download and install the Hebcal app on your watch. Or, you may see a small blue “GET” button if the watch believes the Hebcal app has never been downloaded to your watch. Tap the GET button to download and install the Hebcal app on your watch. Then, tap the blue Open button to launch Hebcal.

Works great.

I find Hebcal very supportive. I like that I can have all my yartzeits together. However I wish they would note the night before as the night to light ON THE CALENDAR ITSELF. If I don’t look ahead or have a reminder set up I could miss the time to light my candle.

Works with new OS

With new update, Hebrew date was no longer showing. Now with this app downloaded I have the parsha and Hebrew date - thanks a ton!

Can no longer download

Despite having everything updated, can no longer download. It was giving me hiccups, so I deleted with the plan to download again and it’s not able to be downloaded. :( :(

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble installing the app. Press the Digital Crown to see the Home screen, then tap the App Store. Then tap the Search box at the top, type Hebcal, and tap the Search button on the top right. If you've downloaded the Hebcal watch app before, you'll see a blue cloud icon with an arrow pointing downwards. Or, you may see a small blue "GET" button if the watch thinks it's never been downloaded before. Click the blue cloud download icon (or the Get button) to download and install it on your watch. Then click the blue Open button to launch the application. Shana Tova & G'mar Chatima Tova

Candle Lighting?

Great watch app. Add candle lighting and havdalah times for five stars.
