Much more from you, as you are the experts in these apps, ### 3/5 — Terrible *2020-12-10* This app could have been better. It should have the correct number of candles... it wouldn’t even Be that hard ### 3/5 — Shows upcoming rather than current day *2013-12-01* Shows number of candles for following night, not current day. Used to work right and change over close to sundown. Please fix! ### 3/5 — You get what you pay for *2012-12-14, version 1.2.2* Cute little app BUT tonight is the 6th night of Hanukah and the app has all 8 candles lit. Oh wel its the thought that counts ### 5/5 — Super !! *2012-12-08* Très bonne app ;) ### 4/5 — Please add iPad version *2012-12-03* Lovely app and have used for a few years but please update with an iPad version. Thanks ### 5/5 — Lighting the menorah *2012-10-23, version 1.2.2* I light the menorah every single year on Hanukkah todah raba for this app i love it ❤ ### 5/5 — House of luxuries *2012-02-05, version 1.2.2* I love it , I support anything that has anything to do with jewish religion ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-12-26* Lights all of the lights at once, doesn’t play any audio, and there’s an overlay covering half the screen with information about the developer. Terrible app ### 1/5 — Needs updating *2021-11-30* Features no longer work with newer iOS ### 1/5 — Needs update *2020-12-11* Does not work well on iPhone 12/iOS 14. No sound. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2015-12-13* Useless with terrible tunes. How is it possible to get hannukah tunes wrong? This app managed to do just that. ### 1/5 — Complete trash *2014-12-17* Menorah does nothing useful. Waste of bytes ### 1/5 — The app crashes immediately *2014-12-16* Fix it ### 1/5 — Backwards *2014-12-15* I thought it was going to let me light the candles, but it didn't. It just lit them one by one. And it was backwards. They put the candles in from the wrong side. ### 2/5 — Free is good, but not when it’s not accurate. *2021-11-28* The app doesn’t know how to count days (or candles). I’m not a computer person, but that should be somewhat easy to correct. ### 2/5 — Improvements needed *2017-12-13* No audible audio content ### 2/5 — Need to light ONLY the right numbers of candles *2013-11-27* Was looking forward to this app. Love the prayers, but need to say them as tapped, not rolling. Also lights all the lights, need to light only the correct number! Big problem. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT VOCALS *2023-12-09* The vocals on this app are awesome - Mo Kiss crushes it. Would love more songs to play. Great app for Hanukkah !! ### 5/5 — Happy Hannukah *2019-11-10* Come back to this app every year. Thanks a lot! ### 5/5 — Please update *2017-03-28* Please update as this version will not work on future versions of iOS ### 5/5 — Absolument géniale *2013-11-30* Tout est dans le titre. 3ème hanouka avec cette application. Elle rappelle le nombre de bougie, leur disposition, les textes en multilingue et cerise sur le gâteau, la musique :-) ### 5/5 — Happy Chanukah *2013-11-29* Simple and sweet. A pleasant holiday surprise. ### 5/5 — You did it again! *2013-11-28* Love the updates... the correct number of candles and the complete Maoz Tzur.
