"Daily contemplation and consideration enable us to focus our attention and heighten our awareness toward the importance and sacred energy of our lives. For forty-nine days, or seven weeks, we take on a discipline and an obligation to mindfully enter the day, to be aware of its potential power to matter, to make a difference, to make it count for something. 

I offer a set of forty-nine cards, divided into seven spiritual principles: Decide, Discern, Choose, Hope, Imagine, Courage, and Pray. Each day its own thought, each week its own theme, to help illuminate your days.

We count, and in doing so, make an accounting of who we are and who we want to be."
- Rabbi Karyn Kedar

### 3/5 — A few tweaks needed

*2023-05-10*

The readings are nice and I appreciate the English and Hebrew on the other side of the cards. A few fixes would make this app perfect:

1. When you look at the whole list you can’t tell where you are. There should be some way of marking your progress so at a glance you know you have read up to day “#”
2. On my screen the very bottom of the card on the blessing side is cut off. 
3. When I get the notification at sundown and click on the app it tells me todays reading isn’t available yet. 
4. My back and forward arrow buttons don’t work.

### 3/5 — Ok Omer App

*2020-04-13*

Some issues getting this app’s day one correct and the reminder alarm to work. They seem to be connected to location settings. 

Daily quotes are thoughtful so far, though not connected to the sfirot so far. 

I downloaded this for the gender neutral-ish translation of the blessing. That is helpful.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you're having trouble.  It seems to be working on my device.  Would you try deleting and reinstalling the app?

### 1/5 — Does not work again

*2020-04-11*

This app does not work, yet again.  I guess I just bought it for a one time use. Very disappointing.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you're having trouble. It seems to be working on my device. Would you try deleting and reinstalling the app?

### 5/5 — Great App for Counting the Omer

*2019-04-21*

This is truly a wonderful app. It’s simple and perfect. Each day shows a beautiful saying with a photograph behind. Our Rabbi showed us the cards a couple of years ago and it’s so nice to have them on my phone because I procrastinated ordering them 🤣. You have to allow the app to use your phones location services to sync with your daily calendar. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t Tell Me What I Want To Know

*2018-04-19*

I downloaded this app specifically to get the days’ count easily. Unfortunately the Todays Reading feature doesn’t work (even after I updated the app today.) Ergo I still have to figure out the count AND I’m not reading the inspirational pages since the process is too convoluted. Great idea. Not ready for prime time. Refund?

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you're still having trouble even after updating.  Perhaps you can try deleting the app and reinstalling from the app store?  Please email me directly if you're still having trouble: dmedwin@ccarnet.org Thanks!

### 5/5 — Oops. Has the wrong dates for 2018 / 5778

*2018-04-05*

Updated 4 April (20 Nisan) - The calendar function now has been fixed on the iPad version.  Much better!  Brief, thought-provoking thoughts for counting the Omer.

So it’s now sundown, Saturday night, 31 March 2018 / 16 Nisan. When I go into the app and click on “Today’s Reading,”I receive the error message:  “Unfortunately, the counting of the Omer has ended for this year. Feel free to browse through the cards, and check back after sundown on April 1, 2018.”

### 1/5 — Not ready for 2018

*2018-04-04*

Just purchased the app and it says that it isn’t updated for 2018.

**Developer response:** The app is updated! Please update from the App Store.

### 1/5 — App does not update calendar

*2018-04-03*

Same as the previous review, the app doesn’t update the calendar and displays a message from last year

**Developer response:** The app is updated! If you haven't already updated, please go to App Store.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-04-02*

Doesn’t work for this year paid money for nothing

**Developer response:** The app is updated! If you haven't already updated, please go to App Store.

### 1/5 — Not syncing to calendar

*2018-04-02*

This app is not updating the “today’s reading” function. It has a message from last year instead. Please fix!

**Developer response:** The app is updated! If you haven't already updated, please go to App Store.
