Review summary

Users praise the app for its comprehensive features and easy-to-use interface, along with timely information and helpful notifications. However, several reviews note language barriers for non-Hebrew users and a dense, confusing UI, plus reliability issues with push notifications and widgets. Overall, it's a valuable, feature-rich Jewish calendar app with room for better accessibility and stability.

Pros

Comprehensive feature set: zmanim, Jewish calendar, tfila compass, basic prayers, Tehilim, and memorial dates.
Intuitive and easy to use.
Timely information and reliable data.
Push notifications are helpful and the app has good support.

Cons

Language barrier for non-Hebrew users; content is heavy and lacks transliteration.
Confusing UI with dense visuals and no clear color-coding to separate Hebrew and Gregorian dates.
Notification/widget reliability issues: deep-link notifications don’t always open the app and the widget can fail to update.

2026-02-16	Pa*****	Merci pour cette appli et votre site plein de renseignements. Dommage, aujourd'hui en 2026, le démarrage est très pénible, impossible de le sauter, c'est trop captif. Liberté ! Top bas, i have to remove it

2025-10-20	Jo*****	Not suitable for user with no prior knowledge of Hebrew. Probably great for other usage as there appears to be a lot of content included, just that all the content was meaningless to this Aussie girl who was curious to learn.

2025-08-14	Da*****	Great app, very intuitive, simple to use, efficient and quick. Not just a calendar with local zmanim, also a tfila compass, basic tfilot, all of tehilim and more.

2025-05-17	Ni*****	Great all it missed is transliteration for those of us whose Hebrew is a bit shaky. Very useful would be Blessings after meals Birkat Hazmon.

2025-03-30	Le*****	Bom mas é muito confuso. Eu só queria um app para acompanhar as datas das festas sagradas mas com este app é difícil de entender alguma coisa. O calendário é cheio de bolinhas mas não tem nenhuma explicação sobre isso. É difícil de saber quando as festas irão começar pois o app não faz uma distinção clara das datas das festas e das datas comuns. O calendário Hebrew e o gregoriano são mostrados juntos no app mas não existe ao menos uma diferenciação de cores para ficar claro quem é quem.
