### 5/5 — Thanks for the update!

*2026-07-31*

Thanks for updating the Jewish Calendar program to be “Universal” so that it will run on Intel Macs and on Apple Silicon Macs without using Rosetta.

### 5/5 — Intel?

*2026-07-23*

Used for years, always helpful.   Release 4.0 looks better, cleaner look, etc.   But it still comes up as “Intel” based.    Last year, I finally ‘graduated’ and Apple-M4 chip.   The app still works, but it ‘reminds’ me about all my Intel based apps pretty frequently..  Presumably, it won’t work in the future?

### 5/5 — Does just what is says very well

*2019-04-03*

Nicely written and easy to use. Only concern I have is that I got a notice that it’s “not optimized for my Mac.” I assuem this means there’s some code that could run more efficiently if it was written differently. Let’s hope the developer continues to maintain the app as Apple continues to update the macOS.

### 4/5 — Works with Mavericks / OS X 10.9.5

*2015-08-17*

It said it was an upgrade to be compatible to OS Lion. So, I knew it’d run on a 64 bit OS. I saw that others said it also works with Mountain Lion. So, I was hopeful that it would run on Mavericks. 

I downloaded & installed it with no difficulties. I have opened it, and looked up my DOB, and my daughter’s DOB. Both DOBs translated quickly, to the correct Jewish calendar dates. Yippee! 

The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it hasn’t been installed & running for any length of time.

### 2/5 — Simple and frankly, useless

*2012-11-21*

Anyone needing a Jewish calendar understands that the simplicity of this one has no use. How in the world is it useful enough for reviewers to say "I use it all the time?" For what, exactly? It's free, so enjoy.

### 5/5 — Long time user

*2012-09-09*

I've been using this for about 15 years now. Glad to see that it's been updated for Lion. I've stayed with Snow Leopard because it breaks some of my apps. It's nice that this is no longer in that category. Shalom

### 5/5 — Works with Mountain Lion!!

*2012-08-26*

Kudos! Great app, and so glad that it still works with Mountain Lion. 5 stars!

### 5/5 — good to have it

*2012-07-26*

Thanks for retrieving historic Jewish calendar and bringing it to the Macs.

### 5/5 — Avi Drissman Is A Genius

*2012-05-20*

"Jewish Calendar": The.  Best.  Ever.  (Halevai, there should be a version for iPhone!)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-02-23*

It would be great if the graphics were updated with themes to choose from, but it's free, so five stars.
