EZ-Maaser is the easiest way to keep track of your maaser (or chomesh) giving! It is a widely accepted practice among observant Jews to donate to tzedakah (charity) 10% or 20% of all their net income (profit). Giving 10% is called giving "maaser" or "meiser", while giving 20% is called giving "chomesh". Besides the tremendous chesed (lovingkindness) involved in giving so much tzedakah, Hashem (G-d) promises that one who gives maaser will be rewarded with financial wealth in this world (in addition to eternal reward in the Next World). EZ-Maaser is a clean, easy-to-use mobile app that makes it very convenient to track your income, donations and relevant (business-related) expenses, so that you can make sure you are consistently giving exactly 10% (or 20%) of your income/profit to tzedakah. The main functionality of this app is completely free to use. The UI is switchable between English, Hebrew and Russian. App-lock privacy is available via biometrics or app PIN code. A paid premium subscription unlocks advanced features (automatically recurring activities, multiple-currency support with automatic exchange rates, activity sorting/filtering, and data export/import). This app does NOT contain any advertising, it does NOT require you to register or provide any personal information, and your data is stored ONLY on your device (unless you export the data yourself or use a backup service). If you discover any problems while using the app and/or if you have any suggestions for improvement, please contact us at support@ez-maaser.com Learn more about maaser, chomesh and all about using this app at https://ez-maaser.com/ To view the End User License Agreement ("EULA") for using this app, see https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
