Kol Yaakob is a weekday Siddur app built around the Kol Yaakob Siddur and the Aram Soba (Aleppo) tradition, redesigned with a clean book-style interface for faster daily use.
Browse the Siddur by organized sections, switch between Hebrew-style and English-style book lists, and open the original scanned pages in a focused reader. The reader supports PDF, horizontal or vertical reading, full-height page display, page scrubbing, a section picker, fullscreen double tap, and page bookmarks.
Find what you need quickly with search across section names, Siddur text, and page numbers. Keep important pages saved in the dedicated Bookmarks tab, and use customizable home-screen shortcuts for Zemanim, Search, Bookmarks, and common Siddur sections such as Shacharit, Mincha, Arbit, Birkat Hamazon, Bedtime Shema, Counting the Omer, and Hallel.
Kol Yaakob also includes a full Zemanim tab based on your current location or a fixed location. View the Hebrew date, Perasha, Shabbat and holiday times, candle lighting, Shabbat end, and morning, afternoon, and evening zemanim. Today's Prayers guidance shows practical reminders for Tachanun, Hallel, Al HaNissim, Ya'aleh VeYavo, seasonal Amidah changes, Sefirat HaOmer and a new jump to Torah feature that takes you right to the Perasha of the week when appropriate.
Tap many zmanim and prayer rules for short explanations, and export the current Zemanim page as a PDF. Fixed-location settings include ZIP lookup, current-location autofill, latitude, longitude, altitude, Israel/Diaspora mode, and candle-lighting offset. Settings also show upcoming candle-lighting times.
Additional tools include a direction-to-Jerusalem compass, light/dark/system appearance options, and reader controls for the way you prefer to use the Siddur.
This app is intended for weekday use and should not be used on Shabbat or Yom Tov.
This is fantastic. So useful. The only thing that needs tweaking is the index and bookmarks. Once you bookmark a page you want to go back to, it is not referred to correctly in the bookmark section which can create confusion. The index is also a bit off as is the Hebrew/English translation of the index. Please don't get me wrong - this is the best Sephardic siddur app that I have ever used. It's visually very pleasing as well.
Not a fan of new UI
joseph_theman44
The new UI isn’t very user friendly, I miss the turning pages and the default should be horizontal scrolling similar toTurning a page. An issue is that sometimes when turning a page you can go back to home menu if your finger is placed too close to the left during the swipe. I think the old UI wasn’t broke and didn’t need fixing. Thank you guys for everything you do this has been an extremely helpful app for me and I appreciate all that you do, but I miss the old UI
Keeps crashing
Moshe Behar
I was using the app about a week ago, and since then, I have not used the app because it keeps crashing and randomly turning black but only around the evening. It seems that there hasn’t been an update in a while but could you see if there is a bug? I have asked others in my family and friends to see if this was an issue, and they have the same thing. Please fix thisThank you
Back pages
Dvdmann
This has been an excellent app. However, the last update is messed up. The new added pages in the back of the siddur are not available. There is some sort of glitch with them. Please check and correct.Otherwise, a great Community service!Thank you!
