## What is Azkara?

We loved them, let's not forget them anymore!
How many times have we forgotten the Yarzheit of a family member or friend? Unfortunately, the Hebrew date being more complicated to remember, we forgot to recite the Kaddish to raise our father's or mother's soul?

The Yarzheit application is there to make your life easier!

Create in a few clicks the Yarzheit file of your relative, a notification and an email will remind you a few days before!

Yarzheit also allows you to appoint a person to say the Kaddish, read Tehilim or study the Torah at a frequency you choose.

Prayers (Kaddish, Tehilim, Michnayot, Yarzheit ) are also available in Hebrew and phonetics.

## Key features

- Yahrzeit file creation
- Customizable reminders
- Prayer delegation
- Torah study scheduling
- Hebrew and phonetic prayers

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-02*

Does not record new entries. Big waste of time

**Developer response:** Hello

Sorry for the inconvenience.
We've finally developed the app and fixed all the minor issues.

Enjoy!

### 2/5 — Not great app

*2023-11-23*

Very hard to enter information and doesn’t allow for corrections. The yahrzeit dates are not correct. They don’t match what was given to us by funeral homes. 

Unfortunately this appears to be the only app available. Which is sad since this will cause people to not light yahrzeit candles or say appropriate prayers. It forces us to use the English date not the Hebrew date. This should be simple.

**Developer response:** Hello

Sorry for the inconvenience.
We've finally developed the app and fixed all the issues.

Enjoy!

### 1/5 — Locks up

*2021-06-27*

I tried to enter my mom's Yahrzeit but the app locked up and just showed a rotating arc. When I touched home it deleted all the info I had entered. I may try it another time.

**Developer response:** Hello

Sorry for the inconvenience.
We've finally developed the app and fixed all the issues.

Enjoy!

### 1/5 — Not Ready for Primetime

*2019-12-08*

Looks nice, design wise. However, the app is poorly executed.
Non-standard use of date entry used. When date is entered, app changes to an earlier date and after sunset entry has no affect.
Cant find way to edit once entry is completed. Also the Add/Remove button doesn’t work.
App developer has personal entries to app that are unnecessary.
Other features may be useful, but basic reason for app is to create a personal Yahrzeit database.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, it has allowed us to improve, several updates have been published since then. They solve all the bugs.
