Omer Counter & Assistant

The option to “Open Settings” configured by Apple to appear when you request that the App be allowed to notify you Daily does not work....one must go to settings ones-self.

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!

The only problem I had was on the last day I went to check the box, & my whole counting history was wiped.. what the what? So I don’t know why it did that, but it was quite helpful to me.

This is a great piece of software, and while there have been some bug issues on the first couple of days since Pesach, it is performing well now. As an hopeful Orthodox Jew, I’m very glad to have some automation in customs and guidance on Mitzvot.

App suddenly stopped sending me a notification to count. Good thing my dad texted me. Happened last year too, sent a reminder for a while, then randomly stopped. ***update*** HUGE fail tonight which is 36, yet their Hebrew text reads today is thirty SEVEN days which is five weeks and TWO days of the Omer. How many people did you cause to count the Omer incorrectly?!?!?!
