A few points, - It would be nice if the product showed up even if it’s not good. For example I just searched for tylonel and nothing showed up. Now I’m not sure if I searched wrong or if it’s not a good for Pesach. - If I purchased the book there should be a way to get the app for free, I bought the book but was having a hard time finding what I was looking for so I downloaded the app. I was disappointed that I needed to pay again. ### 3/5 — Missing many brands *2019-04-15, version 4.0.0* It’s missing tons of drugstore makeup brands. Even maybelline is missing. There is one entry for maybelline that says to check L’Oréal, but L’Oréal isn’t included in the list altogether. ### 4/5 — Search feature needs an update *2018-04-09, version 3.0.1* The idea is great but I found the search feature hard to use. When shopping for makeup it was very hard to figure out exactly which lipstick and brand etc was ok or not. Would love if you could make the search engine more user friendly for next year. Thanks for your hard work! ### 1/5 — Same as above *2018-03-29, version 3.0.1* For some reason it got deleted. Now it’s charging again ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2018-03-25, version 3.0.1* Why doesn’t family sharing work ### 1/5 — Family sharing won’t share the paid app *2018-03-23, version 3.0.1* I downloaded the free app which is really just an empty shell devoid of product listings. I then paid $6.99 to “upgrade” to the current app populated with the product listings. Well, despite what the App Store says, you can’t do family sharing with the full product. You and your spouse will both have to pay $6.99 each to get the full app. And there’s no way to reach the developer to ask about this. Try to find an email address at their website! There’s just a twitter handle - but some of us refuse to tweet. There should be better support for a paid app. ### 4/5 — Finally ! *2018-03-14, version 3.0.1* Finally got to download 2018. ### 3/5 — Unable to purchase 2018 *2018-03-08, version 2.6.0* I am unable to download current year guide - 2018 even though it says that it is available. There is no way to contact developer for customer support. Please reach out to me to help me fix this. ### 1/5 — Don't download. *2017-04-10, version 2.6.0* This is the worst app I've ever downloaded. ### 1/5 — No products listed *2017-04-10, version 2.6.0* This app is not free to try or even see; all items are empty unless you upgrade to the latest edition for $6.99. Just list it as an app with a price, okay? ### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER!!!!! *2017-04-09, version 2.6.0* It's a terrible app every time I try to look for food if it's chumatz or not it says no product. And we have 9 devices and it charged us $35 ### 4/5 — Please update the Zmanim *2017-04-07, version 2.6.0* Please update the Zmanim for 2017 ### 3/5 — Good but far from finish *2016-04-21, version 2.5.2* I like the idea of the book in an app, but it's missing a lot of brands, for example I was looking for perfumes like Versace and Burberry but couldn't find it, also I was looking for Zyrtec Allergy relief and it wasn't there, I hope not gonna have to pay again to get stuff I was expecting to get in the first place. Happy Passover ### 2/5 — Limited *2016-04-17, version 2.5.1* Ap didnt have most things i looked up in it...would recommend maybe trying the book instead of this ap ### 4/5 — Happy there's a digital edition *2015-04-03, version 2.3.0* Searching through the app was a breeze although I was kind of expecting a preview before I make an in app purchase. ### 1/5 — Misleading app *2015-03-29, version 2.3.0* Just downloaded the "free" app, which is basically just a shell. Every list, every search comes up with no items. It seems that to get any real information, u must purchase the rest of the app for 6.99. Very misleading, and very disappointing to be snookered by a religious organization. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — End to a great Era *2021-04-01, version 5.2.4* This book is not worth downloading it is missing the most common and daily uses brands revlon Almay etc ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2021-03-21, version 5.2.4* The app hardly ever opens! ### 1/5 — More difficult than the book was *2021-03-16, version 5.2.4* As difficult as it was to search the many different indexes in the book (instead of one index like normal), the app is even harder to navigate. It was so hard to find anything, but now I paid to update for this year, and it says, “The list is empty” and there are no products listed at all. I need to place an order for products but I can’t research them with a dead app. I will be looking for a different Pesach guide from now on. ### 1/5 — Free scam *2020-04-08, version 5.0.9* I recently downloaded The app and purchased the premium version, my account was not upgraded as it should be, and it asks me again to purchase, Do not Download this app, No Support, No Response From Developer ### 1/5 — This app does not work *2019-04-25, version 4.0.0* I downloaded this app and high hopes of it working. However it does not work at all. ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-04-23, version 4.0.0* This app just doesn’t work, whatever you put in the search, The results is “no product” ### 1/5 — Don’t download it!!! *2019-04-22, version 4.0.0* I paid for this app and there is no content. I tried to get refund and have not been successful. Don’t download this app!! ### 1/5 — Free App Download, costly data *2019-04-11, version 4.0.0* So, when an App has ‘GET’ next to it, it’s free. This app has the get for the free download, but then it’s has the gottchya. It will cost $6.99 to see the listing of available foods. It has a caveat about needing to download after Shabbat. But it’s Thursday and not Yom Tov. ### 1/5 — No contact to developer *2019-04-04, version 4.0.0* I’m having trouble with the app and there’s no contact or email of the developer. ### 1/5 — Bogus app *2019-04-04, version 4.0.0* What’s the point of having a free app with nothing in it? Make it a paid app from the get go if you need to pay to see content. This app is pointless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Idea for an upgrade *2023-04-04, version 5.3.1 (1219)* Great app!! Thanks for putting it out! My suggestion for an upgrade would be to be able to scan products to search them. And not only products, but ingredients of products and it should tell you if any of the ingredients are chometz. That would be so helpful. ### 5/5 — Is this updated for 5781/2021 ? *2021-03-04, version 5.2.3* I did not se an option tu update. Please advise. ### 5/5 — Very impressed *2020-04-05, version 5.0.9* Very useful. Love it. ### 5/5 — Great App!! *2016-04-06, version 2.5.0* This app is so amazing!
