### 3/5 — No hallel

*2023-01-23, version 4.2*

No hallel, and kinda slow sometimes and font size hard to change sometimes

### 5/5 — Best Siddur app

*2022-10-27, version 4.2*

This app is unreal. Packed with amazing features, easy to use, and great for all nusachim. Thank you for making such a wonderful Siddur app, will recommend to everyone.

### 1/5 — Missing מוסף, הלל

*2022-10-25, version 4.2*

Couldn’t daven mussaf and hallel on Rosh Chodesh

### 3/5 — Usable, but not the greatest

*2022-01-05, version 4.2*

In my view, this app is usable. It has all the necessary tefillot, but lacks key features which would make it useful to most. The biggest concern I have with this app is Nusachim, this app doesn’t let you change the Nusach to your regular Nusach. Also, it’s ease of use is also not that great. This app should implement a table of contents of some sort, and make it easy to find needed parts. Also, bugs occur through the areas of Psekei D’zimra to Shmoneh Esrei, with the app usually either crashing or it just randomly closes the app, and when you reopen the app, it resets it, and you have to find your place again, which is difficult without a table of contents. I would recommend to find a better app, like the app developed by Moshe Berk which doesn’t have any of these problems. You can check out his website: www. mberk.com.

### 3/5 — Limited Siddur, Missing Many Prayers

*2021-05-12, version 4.2*

Missing Mussaf for Rosh Chodesh

### 4/5 — Fix invisible prayer issue please

*2021-04-23, version 4.2*

One of the better Siddur apps,please fix the issue of not being able to see what prayer that I’m clicking on,thank you

### 2/5 — Where’s the rest of shachris?

*2021-03-23, version 4.2*

Why does it stop before shmoneh esrai? Where’s the rest of shachris?
Do better

### 4/5 — Please add ברוך ה׳ אמן ואמן to maariv

*2020-11-01, version 4.2*

Thank you.

### 2/5 — Much potential

*2020-09-21, version 4.2*

This app has much potential, but, it’s current state is riddled with bugs which prevents many features from being accessed. Thank you for the efforts.

### 3/5 — Great soffit

*2020-09-10, version 4.2*

But what I don’t understand is that by shachris it only goes till shmoneh aster???
