User Reviews

Users value the app for reminders, blessings, meditations, and counting guidance across years, but reliability issues dominate feedback. Recurrent location/startup failures, crashes on launch, and the removal of embedded audio/prayer training undermine the experience. Unreliable reminders and inconsistent behavior across devices further detract. Overall, the core counting utility is appreciated, but stability and feature reinstatement are needed to satisfy longtime users.

Pros

Reminders/notifications help users remember to count, reducing the mental load during the Omer.
Blessings are posted and meditations/guidance are included, enriching the counting experience.
An interactive side bar and countdown aid tracking progress and answering user questions.
The app is a valued, long-standing tool used year after year for counting.
The interface is appealing and user-friendly, with notes of a beautiful layout on iPad.

Cons

Location-related startup failures: the app can get stuck on location or fail to load times when location is required (manual or automatic), preventing use.
Frequent crashes or the app won’t open, especially during startup or when prompted for location.
Removal of in-app audio/prayer trainer: audio/prayer guidance moved to an external browser or removed, diminishing learning and immersion.
Reminders/notifications can be unreliable, leading to missed counts.
Inconsistent performance across devices and OS versions (e.g., iPad vs iPhone), with crashes or freezes exacerbating the problem.

Recent reviews

This app enables the user to accomplish the goal of counting the Omer. The notifications take away the pressure to remember. The blessing is posted. Sorry others are facing challenges. This app is amazing in my view.

When the app first came out and for a number of subsequent years, it worked great and I readily gave it an enthusiastic 5 stars. But last year they couldn’t get the alert to work, which is the primary reason I use it. This year the newest version first got stuck on location, then, after un/reinstalling several times and turning the phone on/off with each, it identifies I’m in Jerusalem but neither the manual nor automated location options is able to load the times for the app. I could maybe understand this if I was in a very isolated region, but Jerusalem? Others have also having problems with the app. Moadim l’simcha to all! And BeH may this be the worst problem any of us face for a long time to come
