I am unable to search by date and most often all I get is a screen saying  “checking” or it is just searching for data. It seems to freeze up.

### 2/5 — Need much wider reach of yortsites

*2021-10-20*

Missing so many yortsites

**Developer response:** We are sorry you feel this way, we have just under 3,000 Yartzeits as of today November 7, 2021, no other app has anywhere near this amount.  As you can imagine it took years to build this database of information.  We do get a lot of suggestions and add additional ones on a regular basis.  We hope you can understand this and reflect so on your review ratings.  Much thanks for using the app!

### 4/5 — Gedolim

*2021-10-18*

It is very helpful to know the anniversaries of the Yahrtzeits of great Gedolim who have past on each day of the year.

It would be nice to also have a feature that allows users to add their own personal family Yahrtzeits as well but overall it is a great app!

**Developer response:** Hi there, and thank you for the review.... The app does have a feature that allows you to add your personal family Yahrzeits, just click on the "CANDLE" on the homepage of the app.  Email us if we can help via the app.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

Amazing to have a notification daily to know which Yartzeit it is today.

**Developer response:** Thank you, wow, seems like you really are enjoying it.  Thank you for the feedback, it goes a long way...

Great job.

### 5/5 — The best

*2021-10-14*

I read Yartzeits every day. Not only is it informative but it gives a unique perspective on the Gedolim in the context of history, and brings them to life.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-02-18*

I wish if there would be an option to read the names in Hebrew

### 5/5 — Phenomenal resource

*2019-11-08*

This is an incredible app that contains hundreds of Galindo biographies and it gives you a daily alert. Nicely designed app without ads. Great job. Tizku l’mitzvas.

**Developer response:** Thank you sooooo soooo much for the kind words.  As you know its a 100% free app with zero ads, and it is solely dedicated to a special neshama.  Thank you for using the app, may it bring light, health and prosperity into you and your families lives.

### 5/5 — Excellent App for Yartzeits

### 5/5 — Amazing Idea

*2019-01-08*

It is a deeply revered ability to invoke the name of a tzadick in our daily prayers. This app allows us to do that on the very day (Jewish) when that tzadick left this world for the next. 
What an awesome idea and great app. I will use it daily.

**Developer response:** Thanks Remotla for the time you took to review our app.  Yes you are right, to invoke a tzadik in our daily prayers bring much power to them.  Also lighting a candle on the day of a Yartzeits of a Gadol and mentioning his name, brings down a lot of spiritual positiveness, as the Rabbis say.  Thank you kindly for the heartfelt words.

### 5/5 — BabaKama

*2018-12-30*

The background information is astounding. I will enjoy browsing through it just for that

**Developer response:** Love that name, Need to learn that masechta again :-)

Thank you for the kind words, they really go far.  Please do spread the word to your friends, the app is 100% Free and 100% Ad free, and it will remain that way.
