Shabbos Clock

I’ve been using this app for many years. It’s excellent. Yes , the phone must be plugged in but so what? Nothing has ever happened to my I phone because it’s plugged in. Not for a day, two or three days. The volume is good and it’s loud enough to wake me on Shabbat.

Does the Job Well

I’ve had it a few years and use it virtually every Shabbos and Yontiff. It has its peculiarities but I know how to use it properly.

Didnt work

Not sure if being plugged in is a requirement but i had plenty of juice and it didnt ring. Should have an easier way test set up.

Don’t buy. It does not work

Does not work

Programs not functioning properly.

this program is not working properly
there is times when I delete some alarm time that I set up before
The alarm works anyway showing me the old set up
and when I’m looking on the main screen of the program it’s not there it’s been delete.
It’s usually happen when I set up some alarm for holidays (Shavuot) for example

if you can add on alarm repeat it would be a good thing for the pogrom
Thank you.

Works well... you just have to know how to use it like anything else!!

It works very well!
After putting your phone on airplane mode, plug the phone in the charger.
Then, go to this app and set time, day and volume then TAP THE LOWER BUTTON and leave your phone open with the clock display on.
The missing star is because there is no choice of ring tone, just the basic annoying one (but then again adjust to a lower volume).

The worst

Not working
A lot of free app better than this one

Permanently damaged my iPhone X screen

The clock functions well, but burned a permanent imprint in the middle of my screen. Not fixable. Very disappointing.

Needs Major Improvement

This app is great in theory but it really doesn’t work that well at all. I don’t know if I’m using it wrong or something, but it’s not very reliable to use as an alarm. I’d look somewhere else for a more reliable Shabbos clock app before spending $0.99 on this one.

Not reliable. Doesn’t sound alert

Very disappointing. Alert did not sound when needed. Several test alerts also failed. I wasn’t a buck and a half, but more significant, really let down by an app I hoped would be useful for Shabbat wake up.

Not practical

Developers, if the app has to be open the whole night on the same screen, that risks burn-in. Why did you make it so complicated? There’s another app that allows you to set shabbos alarms with a much more intuitive method. And that one is free. I appreciate the effort, but I don’t appreciate being charged $1 for an app that could literally ruin my screen if I use it in the way it’s intended to be used.

Wish I could give this ZERO stars

The phone must be plugged in for this to work. This wears down the battery. There is no way to choose the melody or make any other adjustments.
I can’t believe they have the nerve to charge $1 for one of the worst apps ever invented. Either they’re fully incompetent or they’re cheating on their scales <_<

Garbage and theft

The app is worthless and the people who charged for it are dirty thieves. Here is the issue: if the alarm is not plugged in, all that happens is that it beeps softly once, and the screen lights up with a notification. For the alarm to work, the phone must be plugged in. Leaving an iPhone plugged in overnight will wear the battery down and reduce the life of the phone. Google this if you are not sure. To use the alarm for shabbos, the iPhone has to be plugged in for at least 25 hours, for two days Yom tov 50 hours and three days Yom tov 75 hours straight? Do you want to ruin your iPhone this way? Unfortunately, there is no way to give this piece of crap zero stars.

Needs Improvement

I appreciate the Rusty Brick Siddur a lot but this app is not on the same level. First, there is no choice of sounds. Then, after I set the alarm I receive repeated notifications to “reopen and re-enable for full duration “ — what does this mean and why is this necessary?

Something's is wrong

Great app and always worked great. But the last day or to it's gone crazy. It's ringing even though all my alarms are disabled and the app is completely off (even in the background). Yet it is ringing again and again. Very annoying. Please fix.

Failure

Excellent idea with real support!
