User Reviews

Multiple reviews praise Shofar as a free, handy learning tool and pocket-sized way to hear shofar blasts, useful during Elul and for practice. However, reliability is the dominant theme: many users report it does not work, produces no sound, crashes, or won’t open, especially on older iOS versions/devices. When it does play, some blasts are not sounded correctly or are high-pitched. The strongest positives center on learning, affordability, and portability, while the most frequent drawbacks are stability and audio quality across devices.

Pros

Free and useful for learning/shofar calls
Portable quick way to listen to shofar sounds (useful during Elul)
Works for some devices (e.g., iPhone 8+) and provides authentic-sounding blasts for those users
Good educational/teaching aid; can be used to practice and compare with live blowing
Pleasant, pocket-sized shofar sounds that some users enjoy

Cons

Frequent reliability issues: no sound, app won’t open, crashes
Compatibility problems across iOS versions/devices (notably older iOS versions)
Sound quality issues: blasts not sounded correctly or are high-pitched/unnatural
Some reviews note it may be disruptive or inappropriate to use in temple settings
Sounds not triggering or selecting a blast failing to produce audio
