No notification or alarm appears on my phone. Should be simple but seems that is not the case ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-05-16, version 3.3* Does not work in USA ### 1/5 — Mirror?! *2018-12-25, version 3.3* I thought I was just getting a mirror, but some prayer thing popped up. If you explain it to me, I can learn it...?? ### 1/5 — Hebrew only, Compass is not working. *2014-11-17, version 3.2* Hebrew only, Compass is not working. Other language listed but not available yet. I love the concept and wish to pray. I will continue to pray for Israel. ### 2/5 — Tefillin Guide review *2026-06-28, version 3.3* First use of “How to wrap Tefillin”, it doesn’t state whether it’s for Ashkenaz or Sephardi! Rather important, no? Add to that the fact the neither of the only two YouTube video links work, and… The scheduling is nice, but there is no way, that I see, to access/view the schedules we’ve already set? A cumulative view would be of benefit and would simplify scheduling. I like the compass, that allows us to pray towards Jerusalem, nice feature! I stopped there and don’t plan to use it again for these purposes, until the Ashkenaz/Sephardi variant, the YouTube video links are fixed. I will need to use the scheduling feature to determine if it useable without an overall cumulative view. Great concept, but poorly executed and not updated or improved with any considerable frequency. last updated 11 years ago, really, with all these existing issues? ### 2/5 — Misleading information *2014-12-29, version 3.3* Nice app, but please correct an important misconception that leads many to be nikhshal in the mitzva of tefillin shel rosh, i.e. it doesn't have to be only right above the forehead; it can be placed farther up as well. In fact the mishna brura says to put it higher in case it slips down. Too many wear it too low and don't fulfill the mitzvah (and may say a brakha l'vatala). Many even need it tightened. Tizku l'mitzmos! ### 4/5 — להוסיף בבקשה *2025-04-10, version 3.3* להוסיף בבקשה להנחת התפילין וארשתיך לי לעולם… אך צדיקים… ואהבת לרעך כמוך בית המקדש ### 4/5 — להוסיף בבקשה *2024-01-03, version 3.3* להוסיף בבקשה להנחת התפילין וארשתיך לי לעולם… אך צדיקים… ואהבת לרעך כמוך בית המקדש ### 4/5 — Nice app *2016-05-19, version 3.3* Is good to have Shema on the way, I wish it could have blessings etc ### 4/5 — It's a Good App But.... *2015-12-13, version 3.3* I'm in the process of converting. Audio would make it a great app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent, quick, practical Tefillin guide *2026-04-12, version 3.3* I just began putting on tefillin. This is a very handy, easy resource. It contains simple, instructional videos for wrapping the tefillin, a compass for facing Jerusalem, a mirror to ensure correct placement of the head tefillin, and the prayers (with transliteration and translation). Excellent resource for those getting started or who need a refresher. ### 5/5 — Tefillin *2022-12-24, version 3.3* The guide I have found to date. Easy to use, concise and very informative. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience using Tefillin. ### 5/5 — 420 *2022-12-19, version 3.3* רב תודות חג אורים שמח ### 5/5 — Thank you *2022-10-26, version 3.3* Thank you does not describe the words necessary by any means. By the creation of this app you have made it easy, and I have no more excuses for not doing what I am to do for G-d. For people like me, that have fallen behind, you have made it easy for me too come back. This app, of course is not perfect and it reminds me I am not as well. Only Hashem is perfect. Thank you for helping me find a way back that I have been needing for a very long time. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-06-17* Great app. Just used it for the first time and appreciate it. ### 5/5 — Daniel Akiva Orbach *2019-01-19, version 3.3* This application has Boruch Hashem been amazing, thank you to the designers and generous sponsor. ### 5/5 — ב׳ה *2018-07-29, version 3.3* What a wonderful blessing having this excellent tool both for personal use and guidance, and to help teach our children how to perform the mitzvah.
