Very Nice!

This is basically the weekday Siddur with festivals and life events along with Torah portions. It is annotated, which means there are written instructions to help guide you. With that said, I wish it had the pictures that the actual Siddur has of how to wrap Tefillin, wear a tallit, etc. I also wish it had actual way to change the font size instead of tapping on the screen and making the whole page bigger. I also would like to see a tap function at the top to quickly go to the top of the page and a dark mode option. Some of us just prefer the black background with white text. The notifications also don’t remind you before a task is needed to be done most of the time with mine. If those cons were met, I would give it 5 stars.

Solid app well developed

Love this app and the linear translation! Having the mania there is really helpful as well

Excellent features

This is especially helpful for someone who switches between the Hebrew and English while praying. This Siddur provides the daily prayers only. It automatically displays the prayers for the time of day, the day of the week, and the month. It provides scrolling. You can also page through the Siddur by tapping at the bottom left side of the screen. Enlarge the text by pinching or turning your iPhone to landscape orientation.

Navigation Jumps Around

I use this all the time, but I can’t give it a good review because of the frustration I have. When I open the app and begin navigating to a part of prayer, it then jumps around back to the first page it was on. I’m constantly losing my place and not able to find where my prayer spot was due to this bug. Want my money back

Y

Not satisfied the words are too small and can not be adjusted ,feel they need to look how ArtScroll app looks and than think of such a price

I was robbed

Not worth much the app

Great, but…

Really good. I’ve been reading most days since I got it. Love the powerful simplicity of the app.

Note to developers: PLEASE ADD A DARK MODE!!!!!!!! If I’m reading a prayer at night, I don’t want a white page glaring at me when I’m trying to wind down for the day. Please and thank you.

Accessiblity issues

Is not possible to use this app with the VoiceOver screen reader. It only reads the menu items but I can’t read/navigate through the content, that is the most important and the reason why this app exists.

Shabbat and holidays

There is no payers for Shabbat or holidays

Black screen to make it easier to read

Dear developer thank you for making the app can you please make a black screen with a white text so it’s easier to read. Thank you. Eliyahu

Crash

Crashes all the time. Will not open.

Mistake

Such limited settings. Also baught this by mistake instead of the other much better version without the english

Won’t open after most recent update.

I use an iPad. The app was fine before the most recent update, and now immediately closes after opening.

Too small print for practical use

I can’t believe they released this and charge us. I also can’t believe I fell for it and bought it! The Hebrew font is way too small to be useful to pray.

Lacking some translations

This App is advertised as providing linear translations. I downloaded specifically for Kinot just to find that Kinot were in Hebrew only. Disappointed.

Great Siddur

I love it. I like that it shows you on the home page either the prayer for Mariv or Minja or Arbit depends on what time it is or it shows you the Omer. You have easy access to the prayer that you need on the time that you need them.
However on the menu you can find a Table of Contents if you are looking for something else.
Do you have a Spanish - Hebrew Version?

Nice app

Not working so well past week.
Random parts of davening just pop up. Once they fix it I’ll give it 5 stars.

No transliteration

Before I purchased this it said it was transliterated but it is not.

Best Siddur app ever

For those of us who don’t have an actual Shule nearby that we can go to everyday.. this Siddur makes it possible to know what to do and when..I had to pull some shenanigans (bluestacks) to get it on my surface pro.. but worth it!!!! It literally is the only Siddur I use .. except Shabbat an holidays.. but I have a Rabbi on those days.. this is the one!!!! Needs to have a “not praying in minyan option” but otherwise.. perfect

Not worth the money

First the good things: Thought this was a great way learning the prayers with this translation. And it works because every hebrew sentence is translated and it’s easy to follow. It has all the prayer you need.

The bad:
1. The text is not native to the app. Meaning to say you can’t increase the text size or change font. It’s just basically PDFs that you can zoom in and out but you have to scroll then horizontally while praying.
2. When you scroll further down and you want to get back all the way to the top of the prayer usually you would swipe up and tab the top bar and it would scroll all the way to the top of the page. Not in this app. Especially painful since the texts are long.
3. At the current state the price is very high. If this would be $0.99 it might be a slight different story. In the end I would like to have a great app and pay for it.

See how the Rusty Brick siddur did all of it much better.

Great app

I love the format. The ‘smart’ feature that shows the relevant parts of davening (Rosh Chodesh inserts on Rosh Chodesh) are great. However, they don’t work on the bedtime Shema. (Days without Tachanun should have parts omitted )
Otherwise an awesome app!
