### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-04-05*

Microphone doesn’t show up so there’s no way to hear the sound of the shofar is pleased with this app

### 1/5 — I so wanted to like this app..

*2023-07-15*

First, it is using papyrus as a font.  It’s too bad but would still have been a five star if I could get more to work, besides the “about” section of the app, and a pic of a shofar.  And it was spelled “shoTar”, once I opened the app.  I feel bad about this review, if someone hacked rev Levy’s superb programming application hard and I do not mean hard in all the connotations of the word hard, but I assume it was a hard-earned award to create a shofar app and get awarded the “title” of working with Android or Ape-pie-pple GN

Anyway:  the app never worked unless I awarded “free”-reign to my microphone, and who feels safe doing that these days.  I assume that was a major setback anyway… I would type more but this is the end of what I can type and see what u am typing…

### 5/5 — It does make a difference

*2021-02-06*

It’s easy to dismiss the relevance and difference that it makes to some people having a quick reference and remainder of what to follow in terms of the Shofar sounds.

The truth is,I find it useful as an app.
Sometimes just looking at the App window on my phone display reminds me of many things Jewish,

My own Shofar,Judaism and Jerusalem.
Many gentiles,don’t see the point about many aspects of Jewish observance,but that’s cool,

As Israel we don’t seek the world or the gentiles understanding or approval.

We seek the approval of the Torah and Hashem in being a light to the world,the gentiles and Israel itself,

Like a heart that pumps blood for the whole body as well as itself,serving the purpose or sustaining life.

Israel Ben Yah’Akov.

Get the most critical app for getting inscribed in the Book of Life for next year! 

Best of all, this is the best option for keeping your holidays free from animal torture, pain, and suffering! What better way to start the new year than by going vegan?!

### 5/5 — Perfect for when you don't have a real shofar

*2019-09-29*

I first downloaded this for our Rosh Hashana back in 2014, while in Recife, Brazil. 
Just downloaded it again in 2019 while in Largs, Scotland. 
Thank you for making this app. May the L--d bless you, make His face shine upon you!

### 5/5 — So real!

*2018-09-19*

I have played multiple nature sounds: birds, wolves, frogs, insects. But none of them have bothered my cats.
I blew the iShofar and all my cats fled! That is how real it is! I swear I even tasted a shofar. 
Thanks! L’Shanah Tovah!
