Ratings and Reviews
Was much better in past years needs improvement
At first the prayer trainer started playing when I opened the app every time which did not happen in past years. Then I saw that the bracha on the day it was was gone so I figured it was because they thought I missed a day so went into the count log and tried to scroll but I kept jumping back to the top. Now my problem is that it takes a very long time to detect my location and once they do and open the app the app freezes within 5 seconds and then crashes every time. I really used to love this Omer app and would recommend to others but now I don’t even know if I can continue to use anymore. Maybe I will try the app again next year but for now I’m gonna try another app.
Great app, no complaints!
I had this app about 4 years ago, and I don’t remember the details of why, but I didn’t think it was worth getting again. I’m so happy I decided to get it this year! My only problem is really mine, not the apps! I have trouble remembering to count on Shabbat-Friday night, unless I am davening and notice the page it tells you to go to! Anyway, I’m happy to say that I don’t have any of the problems other people have referred to in their reviews. I’m using an old iPhone 5s. I like that you can choose which page you want to go to and when. Love the meditations, the notifications and if you haven’t counted yet, the date of the Omer count stays next to the icon. So if I am not available early when I’m notified, I will always see that when I put on the phone and then I realize I haven’t counted that day. I don’t have any of the issues that other people have reported. Sometimes it takes a few extra seconds for the app to come up but it’s just a couple of secöonds, nothing worth complaining about. G-d willing, I would get and use this app next year. I really appreciate this app, it makes counting so much easier. Free too! Thanks so much Chabad! You came through again!
Updated app broken
Update: First night of the Omer and now the app crashes as soon as you try to launch it. So disappointed, was so valuable last year. If it was anyone else I’d have given it a 1 star.
When using on an iPad the app freezes when asking your location. It’s still useable on the phone but the layout is so much more beautiful on an IPad. Hope they fix it in time. Also it seems that the audio practicing is no longer in the app but launches their website to play the audio files. I preferred when in previous years one didn’t have to leave the app which helped keep kavanah.
