I just wanted to see for using it till Hanukkah starts. Plz change it then I will change the rating and the review! ### 1/5 — Dec 24??? It’s Dec 22 - 30, in 2019 *2019-12-23, version 1.1.2* Dec 24? It’s Dec 22 - 30, in 2019! ### 2/5 — Not updated, almost pointless download *2018-11-29, version 1.1.2* I’m giving 2 stars because the blessings are helpful, however the app appears to have been not updated in two years, proving to be somewhat pointless ### 2/5 — Good but not resetting *2017-12-13, version 1.1.2* I really liked this app last year but, this year, the candles didn't reset so I had to keep track of the day myself. May not sound like a big deal but, since I travel for a living and have no choice but to miss some nights, it was very helpful to have that prompt so disappointing to have them all lit. **2017 update** Same thing for this year. The candles didn't reset and the date that Chanukah starts is still shown as 2016. You'd think they'd either put out an update every year or write the code to check a perpetual calendar for the current year's dates. ### 3/5 — Update *2024-12-26, version 1.2* This app needs update because it still have the year 2021 on it. Please update soon as possible. Thank you. Shalom. ### 3/5 — Eh. *2016-12-31, version 1.1.2* It's okay but the dreidel game is unneeded and on the seventh day, it said to light all nine candles ### 4/5 — Great! But Update? *2022-12-17, version 1.2* Enjoyed for past several years to embrace and honor my maternal Jewish heritage. But noticed it’s not updated for 2022. Not big deal since the tradition is the same. Jus be sure to mark your calendar for Sunday night, 12/18/22! ### 4/5 — Useful *2015-11-24, version 1.1* This is useful. It includes the blessings which I end up looking up every year. All the information which is easy and embarrassing to forget is there. It also explains everything really well for a non-Jew. There are only three things that need improving the most important is in the description of the app, where it has the starting date for Chanukah wrong. Not reassuring in an app that gives Chanukah information. The other improvements are adding the tunes to the blessings and perhaps some gelt to the dreidel? If you're going to spin the dreidel electronically then it seems like you'd want to do all your playing electronically. ### 5/5 — miss cookie approved 🔯🔯🔯🕎🕎🕎 *2021-05-03, version 1.2* I love this app so much ‘ I got to learn the blessings and when you stare at the candles on the menorah I don’t have to ask I can just set the timer to stare the the menorah on the table next to me ### 5/5 — Thank you so much *2020-12-11, version 1.2* The best part of the app is how clear and easy it is so use the Brachos page. Thank you so much ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2020-12-11, version 1.2* This app is amazing! Just used it for the first time last night and it was so handy to have all the Brachos on my phone! ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-12-10, version 1.2* Easy to use, great useful, helpful chanuka app . I love the Dreidel feature!!!! ### 5/5 — Gelt in disguise...Eema approved 🔯 *2020-12-10, version 1.2* I downloaded this app in 2014, and I have not been let down yet. It was a great backup, from the beginning, when I needed the blessings for my kids to follow along and learn. Now they remind me to open the app, so they can recite with me. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2020-12-07, version 1.2* Great App wow so excited to use this on Chanukah! ### 5/5 — Hi *2018-11-08, version 1.1.2* The coolest app in the world!!! ### 5/5 — Chanukah *2017-03-08, version 1.1.2* Loving this app. Thanks for clear guidance on how to light the menorah. ### 5/5 — This is the one! *2016-12-25, version 1.1.2* I've tried so many and this app is great. ### 5/5 — Terrific *2016-11-20, version 1.1.2* App is terrific and amazing!
