Promote

Great concept, this app needs promoting, if more people know about it, there’ll be more minyanim.
Also I’d love if you could expand the timeframe. Like if I want to know if there will be minyan on shabbos in a certain area...
And women should also be able to use the app, even though we’re not helpful for a minyan.

Great idea but ...

I love the idea of this app. Notifying men in the area of a minyan forming is incredible. A few times I tried to formulate a minyan at places where I knew Jews were around (Disneyland, airport) with no responses. There must be a way to promote this app so that many more Jewish men would have it so a minyan would be formed when one is needed.

Password creation doesn’t work

Tried a dozen times, used different passwords, rejected each time. Why is it needed anyway? Guess I won’t make the minyan!

Disappointed

I thought this app was a brilliant idea, but apparently I can't use it. I am an Orthodox woman who just lost my mother and will be saying Kaddish. However, this app requires that you certify that you are a man. While I recognize that I can't help form the minyan, it would be nice if I could call upon one if needed. Perhaps that will be a fix in a later version.

Great app and Tizku lmizvos can you please add the option to opt out from the minyan or decrease the number of attendees and the starter of minyan should be able to add attendees
