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 ### 4/5 — Please add ברוך ה׳ אמן ואמן to maariv *2020-11-01, version 4.2* Thank you. ### 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??? ### 3/5 — Good Siddur ~ could use improvement *2019-09-20, version 4.2* Tehillim has a bug that you can’t scroll down past the first page. Otherwise everything’s pretty good. Would be nice if there was an index to skip to certain parts of siddur. ### 4/5 — Missing Baruch HaShem L’olam Amen V’Amen *2019-08-29, version 4.2* Nice app. But in Ashkenazi mode missing the Bracha between hashkivenu and the amida. There are that do not say, but many do, and would be nice to have so that app can be used. Thank you for providing this siddur . ### 4/5 — App crashes by shema and shemona esrei *2019-04-11, version 4.2* The app is well designed and is really useful. However, it seems to have an issue on the iPhone XR phones - it always crashes once I get past pseukei disimra which is a bit frustrating. I have to keep scrolling up and down to prevent the app from crashing which is annoying and makes it hard to daven. ### 4/5 — Missing segment of shachris *2019-04-08, version 4.2* In the latest version the shachris ends at גאל ישראל. Please fix this bug in your next version release. Thanks. Other than that this app is great ### 3/5 — Useful but missing necessary features *2019-01-28, version 4.2* Comprehensive with some neat features. However requires some alternate features to make it more user friendly before it can be my default siddur app: - Needs navigation menu to choose tefilot if starting in the middle (Ex. In Shacharit a menu that says: Brachot, Pesukei, Shema, Amidah, Tachanun, Ashrei, Aleinu, Shir Shel Yom) - Needs option to choose different font - A simple easy to read menu at the home page (more similar to Ancient version) With those two, this would be my go to. ### 4/5 — A *2018-12-03, version 4.2* I enjoy this app once in a while it’s got good stuff in here. But I especially love the recent update where the app crashes when you open the daf yomi page. ### 3/5 — Useful yes, not comprehensive. *2018-11-19, version 4.2* Good app. Really wish you could change the default text size. This Siddur is missing basic morning prayers: Birkat HaTorah, Elokai and Mah Tovu are the ones I noticed. A real Siddur has these prayers, and I expect nonetheless in Simple Siddur. Good work from the developer, hopefully he reads this review. ### 4/5 — pretty awesome *2018-11-16, version 4.2* so happy the text bug was fixed! took a bit long to fix it but now that it is fixed this app is excellent! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Missing מוסף, הלל *2022-10-25, version 4.2* Couldn’t daven mussaf and hallel on Rosh Chodesh ### 1/5 — iOS 12 glitch can’t use *2018-10-11, version 4.1.1* iOS 12 glitch can’t use ### 1/5 — All Hebrew all the time *2018-10-09, version 4.1.1* The apps information says it’s in English. I realize this is a siddur but there is only limited directional English in the app. I can’t even navigate the app to use it. The menu doesn’t have vowels, for a bonus challenge! Not quite as simple as they make it sound. ### 1/5 — Need help *2018-10-04, version 4.1.1* I’ve had the Simple Siddur for over a year & now the letters are all jumbled together. I tried app support but that’s. It working right either. I don’t know if the latest update made all the letters shift but would greatly appreciate you fixing it so I can continue davening on the subway. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Great until iOS 12 *2018-10-04, version 4.1.1* Now all the print run together and many lines are unreadable ### 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 ### 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. ### 2/5 — Minyanim *2019-04-09, version 4.2* This is not working at all. Please fix as it’s the only reason I purchased the app. Not able to contact developer either via app. ### 2/5 — Just a couple of fixes... *2019-01-02, version 4.2* -Put some kind of header on the top of the page - the default one would be fine with the time, etc. - because it isn't visually appealing or more importantly it isn't easy on the eyes to have the text scrolling into nothingness and knowing the current time would be useful. -Add the ability to tap the top of the screen (usually there's a header there) so that it will automatically scroll to the top of the page. Otherwise I love the app, and I'll update to 5 stars. ### 2/5 — iPhone X *2018-10-31, version 4.1.1* The words are not clear on IPhone X using IOS 12. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — This is really good *2020-01-01, version 4.2* Thanks ### 5/5 — Great app but look below *2019-11-27, version 4.2* Really love ur app but FYI by tehillim ur missing קמ until קמט ### 5/5 — Good app *2019-06-14, version 4.2* Good app. I downloaded this on the road because I forgot my Siddur at home. Really clear and good. Only gripe is that font is a little small. But that’s no biggie. Great download. ### 5/5 — Need more things *2019-03-08, version 4.2* Nice layout with easy to see selection buttons. Can you please add model ani, ma tovu, birchos HaTorah etc? Without those items shacharis is not complete and so still requires another Siddur. Thanks Leah ### 5/5 — Excellent development! Thank you! May Hashem bless you *2019-03-01, version 4.2* I think you only have Birkat Netilat Yadayim, Asher yatzar and Birkat Hatorah missing Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great free Siddur the calendar needs help *2019-01-08, version 4.2* The candle lighting timing in the Zemanim is wrong it has the timing for sunset which is a serious problem you must completely be done lighting candles before sunset it should state 18 or 15 minutes prior to sunset ### 5/5 — Best Siddur app out there *2018-12-28, version 4.2* I have all the Siddur apps and this one is by far the best. From the ancient to modern or the zooming in and out everything is perfect from top to bottom ### 5/5 — Thank you for fixing the bug. *2018-11-29, version 4.2* Overall, this is a very convenient app. ### 5/5 — Great Just one BIG Issue *2018-11-06, version 4.1.1* This app is great!! I can’t thank you enough, I use it on a daily basis. The only issue that I found (iPhone X) that many of the שמונה עשרה Prayers, have words that over lap each other, this is when you are zoomed in or not. And when zoomed in the issue gets worse. Please fix. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
