Awesome
This app enables the user to accomplish the goal of counting the Omer. The notifications take away the pressure to remember. The blessing is posted. Sorry others are facing challenges. This app is amazing in my view.
No longer works
When the app first came out and for a number of subsequent years, it worked great and I readily gave it an enthusiastic 5 stars. But last year they couldn’t get the alert to work, which is the primary reason I use it. This year the newest version first got stuck on location, then, after un/reinstalling several times and turning the phone on/off with each, it identifies I’m in Jerusalem but neither the manual nor automated location options is able to load the times for the app. I could maybe understand this if I was in a very isolated region, but Jerusalem? Others have also having problems with the app.
Moadim l’simcha to all! And BeH may this be the worst problem any of us face for a long time to come

Frustrating and disappointing
After years of working well, now for the second year I can’t even start, it isn’t possible to set my location. The link is partly covered by leaves and doesn’t respond
Broken app
Just download (2026) and I can’t get beyond the ‘choose location’ page. The choices are not clickable. (iPad)
Love It
IT REMDINDS me to count, it has an interactive side bar, and count downs. it answers my questions too!!
Doesn’t Work on iPad
Crashes fatally on open - totally unusable.
New iteration does not work on ipad
This app worked well last year. The new iteration requires location to open it but will not allow location to be entered manually. Phone option does not apply when not using a phone.
The app has been heavily updated
I am very happy to use app very year to count the Omer
It has been heavily updated since it was created and is a pleasure to use

Side menu doesn't work
I can't give a free app that has been amazing so many years less than 5 stars. (Please fix the side menu doesn't change or work with last update)
The comments from some of these people here are just plain evil. Why are they counting the omer?
Or maybe they should take the omer period to reflect on their knee jerk reactions and how they affect real great people behind this free app.

Updated app still broken two years in a row
Second update: second year in a row that it freezes at startup. Cannot get past the asking of location. How the mighty have fallen. Update: First night of the Omer and now the app crashes as soon as you try to launch it. So disappointed, was so valuable last year. If it was anyone else I’d have given it a 1 star.
When using on an iPad the app freezes when asking your location. It’s still useable on the phone but the layout is so much more beautiful on an IPad. Hope they fix it in time. Also it seems that the audio practicing is no longer in the app but launches their website to play the audio files. I preferred when in previous years one didn’t have to leave the app which helped keep kavanah.

Best app for counting the Omer
My only critique is that the prayer trainer is no longer part of the app. Accessing it requires opening a link in a separate browser. Would love to see it added back to the app.
Don’t trust to keep on track
Oh, it’s a nice app if just keep track of which days you counted, reminders are very unreliable. If you’re going to rely on it, you will fail.
Gone to the dogs
How stupid that they don’t put the English date in, nor even the Hebrew date.
Whichever moron coded this needs to redo his/her/they/thems work and make this a functional normal app.
Gee whiz
The Rebbe wouldn’t have approved this app.

Was perfect before the update
The prayer trainer now goes to a browser, which does not operate properly.
Removed the prayer trainer :(
This app is good for keeping track of counting, but the update has removed the audio, which I relied on. I am still learning to read Hebrew and the embedded prayer trainer audio was helping me follow along with the words. This app actually helped me learn to count in Hebrew! Removing the audio functionality to an external site makes me have to read everything on the app in English this year, which is fine for doing the bare minimum of fulfilling the mitzvah to count the Omer, but genuinely disappointing that now I miss out on and feel excluded from the full experience of saying it in the original Hebrew. With the next update, please embed the prayer trainer for each day again.

Best app
I use this app every year! I really appreciate the meditations and get my secular family actually enjoys me reading it to them. Thank you for this great app!
Won’t advance to next day
Much better last year. This year I am having trouble getting to advance to the current date.
Please fix
In previous years this has been a great resource for counting the Omer, currently it does not even open. Update: it opens, however regardless of what option I choose, it gives an error message of not being able to retrieve the times for my location.
