Love the update! Instead of having to scroll around on the screens to find the Shabbat Times for other cities it’s all there right when I open it up! With children in other cities and parts of the world this is a fantastic update and convenience. Thank you! Give that man some hummus!

This app is so helpful because when I’m traveling I don’t have to search the internet looking for Shabbat start and end times. It automatically locates me so I can find in time Shabbat start and know when it will end. I like that it’s trustworthy and reliable too. What a great idea.
