This unique and beautiful app offers an inspirational reading for each day of the Omer. A perfect companion to Omer: A Counting. App Features: - Find Today's Reading with a tap - Set reminder alerts at sunset or a specified time - Bookmark your favorite readings for quick access - Add voice and text notes for reflection - Mark cards as "read" - see if you can reach 100% "Daily contemplation and consideration enable us to focus our attention and heighten our awareness toward the importance and sacred energy of our lives. For forty-nine days, or seven weeks, we take on a discipline and an obligation to mindfully enter the day, to be aware of its potential power to matter, to make a difference, to make it count for something. I offer a set of forty-nine cards, divided into seven spiritual principles: Decide, Discern, Choose, Hope, Imagine, Courage, and Pray. Each day its own thought, each week its own theme, to help illuminate your days. We count, and in doing so, make an accounting of who we are and who we want to be." - Rabbi Karyn Kedar

A few tweaks needed

The readings are nice and I appreciate the English and Hebrew on the other side of the cards. A few fixes would make this app perfect:1. When you look at the whole list you can’t tell where you are. There should be some way of marking your progress so at a glance you know you have read up to day “#”2. On my screen the very bottom of the card on the blessing side is cut off. 3. When I get the notification at sundown and click on the app it tells me todays reading isn’t available yet. 4. My back and forward arrow buttons don’t work.

Great App for Counting the Omer

This is truly a wonderful app. It’s simple and perfect. Each day shows a beautiful saying with a photograph behind. Our Rabbi showed us the cards a couple of years ago and it’s so nice to have them on my phone because I procrastinated ordering them 🤣. You have to allow the app to use your phones location services to sync with your daily calendar. Thank you!

Some issues getting this app’s day one correct and the reminder alarm to work. They seem to be connected to location settings. Daily quotes are thoughtful so far, though not connected to the sfirot so far. I downloaded this for the gender neutral-ish translation of the blessing. That is helpful.

Doesn’t Tell Me What I Want To Know

I downloaded this app specifically to get the days’ count easily. Unfortunately the Todays Reading feature doesn’t work (even after I updated the app today.) Ergo I still have to figure out the count AND I’m not reading the inspirational pages since the process is too convoluted. Great idea. Not ready for prime time. Refund?
