## Description

Omer Counter & Assistant helps you observe Sefirat HaOmer with up to three smart daily reminders, an Omer Count Log to track progress, and real-time time-left indicators for each day. It supports both Hebrew and English, so you can see the blessing in English if you’re not a Hebrew reader, and learn to pronounce it with confidence.

It also features daily meditations, an interactive Omer Prayer Trainer, a quick start guide, insights, and more—designed for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. Omer counting becomes organized, meaningful, and easy.

## Review summary

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.
