Description:

Ultimate Zmanim calculates times using your GPS for maximum accuracy. There's also a rich location picker, so you don't have to be online to set it up. Ultimate Zmanim always works, even when there's no internet.

Ultimate Zmanim doesn't stop with the daily zmanim - it also lists chagim, the weekly parashah for both in Israel and out, candle lighting times, and daf yomi. Today's zmanim fade out as they pass, so you can tell what's next at a glance. 

Ultimate Zmanim also runs on Apple Watch, so you can get notifications, and information about the next upcoming zman right on your watch.

With Zmanim Alarms, Ultimate Zmanim can remind you of important zmanim throughout the day. Shema, t'fila, and weekly candle lighting are all covered. 

Ultimate Zmanim supports printing of the daily Zmanim via AirPrint. You can use this to hang them up in public places, such as your shul, school, or mikveh.  

You can look up zmanim for any day by tapping on the timeline or the Hebrew date to show a date picker. Tap again to hide it. You can also drag in either direction for convenient access to the previous or the next day. 

The timeline also supports both the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars. Open the date picker to switch between them. Ultimate Zmanim will remember your selection across app launches. 

Ultimate Zmanim has been a long time in the making, and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed building it!

### 5/5 — Zmanim

*2026-04-15, version 11.8.4*

Great app specially forgotten chance to select astronomica degree for alot hashachar . I hope a mizrach compass will be included. Good price

### 4/5 — Please fix location update

*2026-03-29, version 11.8.4*

Have been in Israel for over a week, changed location multiple times (tried both auto and manual ) but the app keeps alerting me with LA time instead.. very annoying.. thanks

### 4/5 — Watch Face

*2025-09-05, version 11.8.4*

Would it be possible to have the Apple Watch face complication display the selected custom Zmanim instead of the default ones? Seems strange to have so many Zmanim to choose from but then I can’t control how I see them on my watch

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-03-21, version 11.8.4*

This app is really easy to use I highly recommend it though recently when I open the app the screen turns white i have to turn my iPad sideways in order to see the zmanim on the side while the rest of the screen is still white I don’t know what is wrong but even so I enjoy using it.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-08-14, version 11.8.4*

Really love this app. Unlike the competition, this app is simple, and gives me exactly what I need, reliably, and without a fuss. I greatly appreciate the clean interface, color options, and customizability. If I had one minor request it would be for the customization to carry over to the watch app as well, perhaps just have it mirror the settings from the main app. Overall this is a stellar app and well worth upgrading to the premium. Even if you don’t want the customization, this developer deserves our support!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-06-30, version 11.8.4*

Fantastic app!

### 1/5 — App opening to blank white screen

One of the standout features of this app is its accuracy. The Zmanim app provides precise calculations for sunrise, sunset, and other key prayer times, ensuring that I can plan my day around my religious obligations with confidence.

The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and customize settings to suit my specific needs. I appreciate the clean design and straightforward layout, which makes accessing information a breeze.

What sets this app apart is its ability to provide Zmanim data for any location worldwide. Whether I'm at home or traveling, I can rely on this app to give me the accurate prayer times and holiday information I need.

Overall, the Zmanim app has greatly enhanced my religious practice and made it more accessible in our modern, fast-paced world. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and user-friendly tool to help them stay connected to their faith.
