Review summary

Users appreciate the app for its convenience, adaptability to different occasions and Nusachim, and comprehensive features that replace multiple apps. However, multiple reviews highlight a critical bug with date and prayer timing handling, causing incorrect prayers after midnight. The app also suffers from frequent crashes and occasional missing prayers on special days. Users request more content additions and note limited developer responsiveness to reported issues. Overall, while praised for its design and features, technical bugs and incomplete content impact user experience.

Pros

Very convenient and easy to use, especially for travel and outdoor minyanim.
Includes features for various Nusachim and adaptive for every occasion.
Well laid out for smooth prayer experience without unnecessary navigation.
Allows adjustment of font size and style, making it customizable and user-friendly.
Consolidates multiple functions, reducing the need for multiple apps.

Cons

The app has a significant bug where the day changes at midnight rather than at nightfall (Maariv), causing incorrect prayers after midnight, especially on holidays like Hanukkah and Purim.
Crashes frequently and requires restarting, affecting usability.
Some important prayers and texts are missing on specific days (e.g., lack of על הניסים, הלל on some days).
Lack of response to user feedback or bug reports from developers.
Certain prayers and features (e.g., Tish'a B'Av laments, פרשת המן) are requested but not yet implemented.

2023-08-03	Da*****	Thank you for this great Siddur app. It would be great if you could add Tish'a B'Av laments (קינות) in all supported nusachim.

2023-03-09	Le*****	This year, 29 days in Kislev, and 1 day Rosh Chodesh. 8th day of Chanukah was on Tevet 3. Impossible to see על הניסים, הלל, and Torah reading on the 8th day. I was stuck at an outdoor minyan away from home without sidur. Probably wrong Torah reading on the days 6 and 7. No על הניסים , הלל on Purim. No יהי רצון after Torah reading Mon & Thu mprnings. Other minor omissions.

2022-04-19	Da*****	Hebrew dates change at nightfall, not at midnight! Sefirat haOmer is one day behind if it is still before midnight, and this is unacceptable. The same problem I wrpte about a year ago for the last dsy of Hanukka. The day changes at maariv, and of the app is not fixed it shows the day before and messes up the tefilla. Of you fix the problem I will change this review, but for now I give it 0 stars.

2020-12-17	Bi*****	I'm sorry I have to give a one-star review but maybe it will wake up the developers about this bug. I've written to them but was ignored. The bug is as follow: arvit (maariv) goes by Julian calendar and not by Jewish calendar. So after midnight, you get the next day's prayer. Example: tonight is the 8th night of Hanukkah. After midnight, no Al ha-nissim. Not an isolated case. It's the same for all one-day holidays - Purim, etc. - You already get the holiday nusach after midnight the night before

2020-11-19	Ia*****	Wow, after trying several siddur apps I found this one and I can say is one of the best one (I'm between Sidduron and Smart Siddur) A lot of important features. Font size, font style, is really smart (it adds what it need to add according to the day), several nusachim. Really great app. I don't know why is not better position when you search for Siddur.
