App calendar: after the first two weeks, the remainder of the year is grouped by Gregorian month to enable faster navigation.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We’re pleased to announce the release of Hebcal for Apple Watch 2, available immediately at the Apple App Store. It’s been five years since the initial release of the Hebcal Hebrew Calendar for Apple Watch, and we’re back with an important update required to support watchOS 27. Please give it a try and let us know if it works for you on watchOS 27

Way cool!

Just what I needed. Herbal interfaces with my watch faces so I know the Hebrew date and Torah portion at a glance.

Does not work anymore!

Worked perfectly on my Apple Watch 7. Just got a new Apple Ultra 2 watch and even though App Store says app is purchased (from before) it does not show up in Apple Watch App to use within watch face options or as app on the watch itself. Very frustrating. Help please!

Thank you for your feedback! Switching to a new Apple Watch does require a bit of extra work. This problem occurs because the Hebcal watch app does not have a companion iPhone app. To reinstall the app on your watch, you won’t be able to use the App Store on your iPhone. Instead, you will need to open the App Store on the watch itself and search for (and install) Hebcal. 1. Press the Digital Crown to see the Home screen, then tap the App Store. 2. Then, search for Hebcal. 3. If you’ve downloaded the Hebcal app before, you’ll see a blue cloud icon with an arrow pointing downwards. Tap the blue cloud download icon to download and install the Hebcal app on your watch. Or, you may see a small blue “GET” button if the watch believes the Hebcal app has never been downloaded to your watch. Tap the GET button to download and install the Hebcal app on your watch. 4. Then, tap the blue Open button to launch Hebcal.

I need help!

I installed Hebcal a month ago and was very pleased. I need the Hebrew date everyday since I’m a teacher in a Jewish school. Last week, the wrong date appeared on my watch. When I pressed the app on my watch , it reverted to the whole face description and showed the correct date. But when the IWatch face showed, it was still on the wrong date. I deleted the app from my iPhone and wanted to reinstall Hebcal and was unable to find it on my iPhone. When I go to the App Store it shows that it is purchased. How can I correct this situation? THANK YOU! Your suggestion to go through my watch to the App Store and download it that way worked!
