1 of the best Sephardic Siddur App

Great Siddur App! Hazaq u Baruch! Thank you for this great app! Been using it daily for alone years now! The new update Juno’s to Shabat all the time needs a minor fix…

New App Stinks! Please go back!

GO BACK TO THE OLD VERSION. THIS NEW AI VERSION IS HORRIBLE. GO BACK TO THE BASICS.

App update

I think the app got updated recently and you have to scroll up instead of side to side. I think the old way was so much better. I’m not liking this new update at all. Is it possible to get the old update back but like a different version?

Not a fan of new UI

The new UI isn’t very user friendly, I miss the turning pages and the default should be horizontal scrolling similar to
Turning a page. An issue is that sometimes when turning a page you can go back to home menu if your finger is placed too close to the left during the swipe. I think the old UI wasn’t broke and didn’t need fixing. Thank you guys for everything you do this has been an extremely helpful app for me and I appreciate all that you do, but I miss the old UI

New update

Love the app. New update ruined my tefila, 1 swipe left or right you loose your current place. Mid amida this was rough

5 stars of course but really 3 with the new update - please fix 🙏🏼
