Room for improvement
Love the idea but it crashes whenever you use the search feature.
Daily Blessings from morning service
I wish this app included the daily blessings from the morning service and expanded variations. Big omission!
Where are the after food brachot??
I bought this app for after food brachots, but it only has birkat Hamazon! Very disappointed that I spent $4.49 on this
Response from developer
We're sorry you're disappointed. The prayers you're looking for can be found in our other app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/birkon-mikdash-mat/id1050690959. Please email us apphelp@ccarnet.org so we can discuss!
Lovely and useful app!
What a wonderful app! Our Rabbi recommended this app and it has filled our nature walks with joy. Great accent/pronunciation by the reader too!
Disappointed
I like the clearly printed Hebrew however when I try to listen to the prayer I’m not getting any sound. My device is not muted. When however I mute the prayer on the app-it shows on the progress line that it is playing. When I change it to sound-the progress line does not move. It is as if it’s opponent to how it should be. Regardless, there is no sound. To learn the correct pronunciation to the printed Hebrew, I need to hear it. Disappointed.

Hi Moshe, sorry for the trouble! We are working to restore the sound playing functionality. We appreciate your patience!
Sound No Longer Works
I've had this app a couple of years and love it, but when I refer back to check something, 9 times out of 10, the sound doesn't work. Please help.
Edit: Audio works now! Thank you!

Sorry you're having trouble with the sound. Please make sure your device is un-muted (using the switch above the volume buttons). For more help, please email apphelp@ccarnet.org. Thanks!
No audio
No sound and missing important prayers. This app isn't what your looking for if you want to learn Hebrew prayers.
P.S.
I know how my phone works. Thanks

Sound works great!
For those folks having trouble with sound, make sure your device isn't muted. (This is different from the volume buttons.)
Great app but no sound
I was quite excited because all the other apps I've seen are Hebrew only with a vapor ware promise of forth coming English (while I can certainly read the Hebrew, I think reciting blessings without knowing what they mean is sort of a vain prayer). This app includes the Hebrew, transliteration and English translation. The app also includes audio that I presume chants each blessing. I say presume because you can press play and the progress bar moves along as if it's playing but there is no sound at all (not even an electronic him). Pleas fix ASAP.

Yasher Koach!
This is a really convenient app that has easy access to many of the Jewish daily blessings or Berachot. They are arranged via subject and the text is available in English, Hebrew or transliterated Hebrew. It is absolutely perfect for learning the blessings and it's a wonderful companion to the CCAR Siddur iPad app.

Fine design... Lacking content
I find myself perplexed: a blessings app from CCAR that does not include shabbat blessings? While the included blessings are interesting — and occasionally useful — why would you not meet people where they are? Particularly when we've paid money for the app, this feels like a nontrivial oversight. And it seems, well... weird that we would need to turn to Chabad and their ilk for support in fundamental rituals. That would seem to be a strategic problem for the CCAR.

Great app
I tried dozens of apps, which have something to do with Judaism. This one is one of the best, maybe the best at all.
Only few blessings
The most important blessings are not included! Good idea, but only 27 blessings here and missing the basic ones. Waste of money.
Not What You Might Think
I've been anxiously awaiting an iPhone app of Mishkan T'filah. Daily Blessings from CCAR...this must be it. Wrong. This is NOT the Nisim B'Chol Yom,(daily weekday blessings) just some lame random blessings you are not likely to use, with traditional translations. Sadly there are no poetic versions of even these few prayers that I come to expect from my siddur. Save the 1.99 - and keep waiting for the real deal.

Awesome app
Nice to see a non Orthodox Jewish app!!
U can do better
This app needs to be revised to include far more. For example, I downloaded this hoping to see the Asher Yatzar and was stunned it was not here. As an aside, the recitations remind me of those awful, boring Hebrew teachers who scared me as a kid, no feeling or warmth. CCAR, you can do better.
Could be more
Nice app but I was hoping it also had the daily blessings like the Motzi and all blessings for meals. I wanted to see the blessings people need every day.
Very basic
There are a limited number of prayers available and no supplementary material. Not worth the $2. Very disappointing.
Who knows...?
This could be a really great app if I could actually get it to open. It gets to the first screen and as soon as click to start browsing blessings, it crashes.
A bug fix or a refund would be nice... But I would much prefer a fix!
