### 3/5 — Zmanim unreliable

*2026-07-02*

Zmanim only shows occasionally.

### 2/5 — I had hope for this app

*2024-04-09*

I hope they figure out a way to make it much better. I’m sure it’s possible. Can you add prayers to it as well especially for eating different foods. It could be such a great app for when traveling to have this on my watch.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-01-10*

Everything one could need and well design. The problem I have is with the fact that location is mandatory to access it, you can’t set up your own location. If you spend too much time on the app your battery will decrease quite rapidly

### 5/5 — I enjoy using this for my daily learning

*2021-06-09*

Thank you.

### 1/5 — Apple Watch wannabe

*2021-05-29*

Circle of death is all I get on my watch. Had to uninstall.

### 1/5 — Does not work on Apple Watch

*2021-02-15*

This app works very well on my iPhone but has never worked on my Apple Watch. My Apple Watch has been updated to the latest software and all I get with the Ohio map is a spinning circle. If this app is being offered and installed on the Apple Watch it should work. Very disappointing

### 2/5 — Apple Watch app does not work

*2021-01-15*

I downloaded Hayom to take advantage of its Apple Watch compatibility, but it does not work. It just buffers endlessly.

### 3/5 — Unsure

*2019-08-20*

I recently downloaded this app only to find that the login page doesn’t work, and the location services are very America-centric (which isn’t a major problem but for an Australian like me, it makes things difficult). 

Overall it’s a nice looking app, but I would love to be able to utilise the features included.

### 5/5 — One stop for daily study info

*2019-06-20*

It’s a hub for finding daily study and inspiration. I’ve found it much easier to use this than many book marks or apps. Works like a dream, thank you!

### 2/5 — What is going on

*2019-01-24*

So it stopped working ..
