Ever lost track of which night of Hanukkah it is, just open the 8 Nights App to see a menorah showing you exactly how many candles to light. When it's not Hanukkah it will show you how many days are left until Hanukkah and lets you know when Hanukkah is. There is even a Dreidel game and the prayers. Hear them read or read them yourself. Also supports Dark Mode for those evenings spent basking in the light of the Menorah.
