I’m very much enjoying this app. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2023-09-24* I start each day by listening to her beautiful voice chatting. I highly recommend this as part of your daily ritual. ### 5/5 — Centering *2023-09-06, version 1.5* Beautiful Melodies. The chanting is centering and a nice way to warm up my voice. I don't speak the language so I hum. ### 5/5 — Lovely in every way *2023-02-03, version 1.5* From the beautiful melodies, to the familiar prayer, to the bright colors, this app really delivers joy! I already have an extensive morning chant practice that includes writing my own chants in both Hebrew and Aramaic … yet, I always make time for Rabbi Shefa’s app. That is how special it is. It’s worth taking time for, no matter what your age, stage, or relationship to chant. Thank you, Rabbi, for this wonderful gift, and thank you, G-d for flowing the inspiration her way. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Shefa is pure LOVE 💗 *2023-01-23, version 1.5* This is an amazing app. And I am not one to like apps. But this one has so many amazing features that delight and surprise you. I won’t give away the fun surprises but I’ll just say it’s really fun and easy to use and a beautiful way to start the day. I’m playing the chants over and over again since I don’t want them to end! Thank you Shefa and team for making and sharing this! ### 5/5 — Wonderful way to start the day *2023-01-03, version 1.5* Love this app. Use it every morning! ### 5/5 — Love *2022-12-15, version 1.5* I love all the different versions of this prayer. It’s a beautiful way to start my day. ### 5/5 — Best way to start the day *2021-06-11, version 1.4* I listen to one of these each morning before I get out of bed and it sets me up for a day of noticing the many daily miracles. There are so many moods to choose from, it’s like an affirmation that you are not alone and that you can start from wherever you are right now to see the miracles. I love how the tunes stick in my head and replay all day long, reminding me to look for all there is to be grateful for. ### 5/5 — Meaningful way to start the day *2020-09-07, version 1.4* I am learning to deeply appreciate this app as the best way to start the day. It helps me to center, to appreciate the gift of the day and to deepen my spirituality. Each time I listen, I go a little deeper. In this time of great instability before the November election, I need all the spirit and belief available and what a wonderful to find this. ### 5/5 — Very Meditative... *2020-05-29, version 1.4* Such beautiful melodies for starting out your day. This has now become an important part of my morning devotional practice. These melodies just set your soul at peace. Beautiful indeed. 🦋 ### 5/5 — Beautiful and inspirational *2020-05-02, version 1.3* This app is so cool! I love Rabbi Shefa’s sweet and sincere voice, and the melodies are wonderful-a perfect way to start my day. 💜🔯 ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2019-12-19, version 1.3* Thank you for the possibility to hear the sound of this prayer sung so beautifully and in so many ways. It awakens my heart to my new day. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was seeking *2019-11-24, version 1.3* I have been needing a way to get directly into a practice before the day could tempt me with its distractions. I have chanted with Rabbi Shefa and respect her devotion to G-d. ### 5/5 — Super Helpful *2019-08-22, version 1.3* I’m not as disciplined as I’d like to be so chanting with Shefa’s app. kickstarts my morning. ### 5/5 — Pray Beautifully *2019-01-24, version 1.3* I have been working toward praying more and this app is a gift. I have been using it every morning and it helps slow and center my usually rushed mornings, even if only for ten minutes. The variety of melodies are beautiful and inspiring. ### 5/5 — Just right. *2018-11-04, version 1.2* As someone who has an established practice that lacks depth and soulfulness particularly in the morning, this app adds just the perfect amount of inspiration to elevate the rest on my day. Now let’s see a bedtime Shma app from Shefa! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — WTH?! *2017-03-15, version 1.2* 'I gratefully acknowledge your face..' in 49 different melodies. Really??! What was I thinking when I bought this?! This app doesn't include in-app access to the wonder that is Shefa's chant collection, no, it gives access to one, you got it, 1 chant done in 49 melodies- that's right 49. Ugh. ### 3/5 — What is this? *2025-08-06, version 1.6.2.6* This is one, first morning prayer - Modah/modeh Ani sung in many different ways. With words in English, Hebrew and transliteration. I would have liked to know better what I was buying. ### 3/5 — Chanting Jewish mantras *2021-11-04, version 1.4* I’d give it 4 stars if the app had not got stuck on the flavors page. Let’s see if the owners of this app will fix the problem for me. If not I’ll convention what is available ### 4/5 — Combo of familiar and novel *2020-07-05, version 1.4* Doing a familiar prayer can be comforting, de-stressing, meaningful. However over time it can become rote and lose its meaning and intentionality. Doing a novel prayer requires attention to say/chant, but may not always allow the meaning of words to be there. Shefa’s combo of a familiar prayer gives the opportunity of experiencing the best of both familiar and novel ### 4/5 — Wonderful! *2019-08-27, version 1.3* This app has helped me to integrate prayer into my morning routine. Previously I had no prayer morning routine and this is a lovely way to help me transition into my day. Afterwards, I list all the things for which I am grateful and I start my day on a positive note. ### 4/5 — Somewhat Limited but Inspiring *2017-06-15, version 1.2* While it's the basic modim- it has lovely vocal variety- emphasizing the words and their meaning , making them fresh every day....helps me start my day with prayer. When I start my day with prayer I'm more likely to get in my morning noon night and bedtime prayers - and draws me closer spirit more mindful of The Holy One, Blessed is He, that surrounds me with miracles and wonders, daily. I have purchased her first book with the companion book - really wonderful, joyful. ### 5/5 — Practice Practice *2026-08-02, version 1.6.2.6* Shefa is creating a community that wakes up with Gratitude! What a gift. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-22, version 1.6.2.6* This app is a convenient to get right to our gratefulness practice. My brain loves variety - a new melody as I choose keeps the prayer fresh as I play it, chant and lol around in wonder. ### 5/5 — Gratefulness App *2025-11-10, version 1.6.2.6* I love to have so many choices of morning gratitude melodies. S great way to match a feeling to music. Some are uplifting, others inspiring, devotional, or express joy. It is easy to create a list of favorites with your brief descriptions or enjoy a the melody of the day. Try it and set the tone of your day. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Inspiration *2025-09-28, version 1.6.2.6* These exquisite chants are the perfect way to start each day. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thankful *2024-10-03, version 1.6.2.4* Helps me start my day in a mindful place. ### 5/5 — Great way to start the day! *2024-06-15, version 1.6.2.2* Beautiful Melodie’s love joining in and starting my day with musical gratitude ### 5/5 — Beautiful and Inspiring *2024-04-04, version 1.6.2.1* The melodic variety of Rabbi Shefa’s chants are captivating and heart-warming. They are a wonderful start to the day to express gratitude to the Divine presence. I am so grateful to Rabbi Shefa for this amazing spiritual resource. ### 5/5 — You broke the app *2024-03-09, version 1.6.2* As of today it won’t even start up!!!! It used to work great. Now it doesn’t work at all. And I’ve had no response to messages about missing features after the last update. ### 5/5 — Starts my day *2023-12-04, version 1.5* A beautiful way to start my day. Each version a gem. ### 5/5 — A balm for the soul *2023-11-17, version 1.5* Thank you Shefa for bringing this to us! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
