THSG Smart vs Minchat Refael

Thomas Smart® Smart Products, to bring you an Easy Living

Minjat Refael is a premium native siddur for iPhone and iPad, rebuilt from the ground up in Swift 6 for speed, clarity and halachic accuracy. PRAYERS THAT MATCH THE DAY The app knows the Hebrew date, the Parasha and the Omer, and adjusts your tefilot automatically: Tachanun is omitted when it should be, and seasonal insertions such as Mashiv HaRuach and Tal U'Matar follow the Hebrew calendar and your location (Israel or Diaspora). ACCURATE ZMANIM Solar times are calculated locally with NOAA astronomical algorithms, so halachic times are precise wherever you are — no connection required. BUILT FOR READING Immersive reading mode hides every distraction with a single tap. Pinch to resize the text, switch to dark mode, and read Hebrew in Taamey David CLM and Crimson Text, chosen for liturgical clarity. ALWAYS UP TO DATE, ALWAYS OFFLINE Texts, modules and halachot sync in the background and download in seconds. Everything is stored on your device, so the siddur works with no signal at all. PARASHAT HASHAVUA AND FESTIVAL READINGS Read the weekly portion and the special readings for Yamim Tovim, rendered right-to-left with full fidelity. MESSAGES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY Receive halachot, announcements and event notices in an in-app inbox that works offline. FULLY BILINGUAL Complete Spanish and English localization, including Hebrew dates and a correctly formatted Omer count in both languages. MINYAN MODE (optional one-time purchase) Unlock the material that is only recited with a quorum: the complete Torah reading with the aliyot and blessings, the Chazan's repetition of the Amidah, Birkat Cohanim, Kedusha, every form of Kaddish and Avinu Malkeinu. One purchase, yours for life — no subscription. Made with care for the Jewish community.
