Omer Counter & Assistant Positive Reviews

Suddenly glitchyI have used this app for a few years with no problems. Now freezes up, locks up, won’t let me click when I have counted. I hope it gets fixed. (Have tried deleting and reinstalling.).SmithofCleveVersion: 2.0.2

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!.DevorahIlanahVersion: 1.1.6

Was much better in past years needs improvementAt 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..Eb135Version: 2.0.2

Great app, a few pointersGreat app! Just a few pointers firstly I don’t think the app should update the location synchronously on every open as most if the time people have not moved so significantly that it would change their halakhic status and you don't need an alert unless something has changed, the drawer menu should also default to closed as it blocks the main view. Just a few ideas one software dev to another.FanofjohnyivesVersion: 2.0.2

Great but....The app itself is nice. I’ve used it for a few years, It offers Hebrew and English blessings, a check mark system, various commentaries/meditations to look at, and the UI seems fairly clean and easy to use, Sadly this year around the 22nd day of the Omer it has become very slow, it’s ability to distinguish my location has worsened, it can’t remember what I checked and freezes up after a check to the count or a tap to a different aspect of the app. This has been a fairly lovely app, and wonderfully useful, but this year for some reason it hasn’t done well. Aside from that, any other improvements would be the option to have the bracha sung, instead of it being automatic when counting at night, and perhaps a touch up on the GPS. I appreciate the app, thank you all for your hard work, hopefully the app will go back to being functional once again..QuiimochiVersion: 2.0.2

Great way to countI’ve used this app for a few years with no issues until now. I believe there’s some compatibility issues. App freezes, doesn’t always show accurate count. Every time it’s open goes through process of finding location even when nothing has changed. Not sure if the issues are with IOS or something within the app. Have deleted and reloaded with no change..SpielzitoVersion: 2.0.2

Having issuesI would’ve given fivr stars,but the app started kept messing up. Not showing the right time zone, playing without opening the app. I deleted and will reinstall the app to see if this will take care of the problem..Elkemae13Version: 2.0.0

Good but why is Tzeis at 8:30 every night?I gave my location but my phone switches to the next day at 8:30 every night. Tzeis in my area is 8:45. Did the app receive a magic psak to switch at 8:30 every night?.LaurenDParisVersion: 2.0.8

Awesome! Works PerfectlyI previously submitted a review complaining about a problem with the voice over, but that problem seems to have been fixed in more recent versions, so I have no complaints..Teva IlanVersion: 2.0.2

IOS has been updated & may be faultyThe 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..WeatherMabenVersion: 1.1.4

Excellent appI, too, used this in the past but decided to look into alternatives this year. My conclusion: this app is the best by far! It reminds one to count in a timely fashion, explains the rules where necessary, and is very user friendly. Typical chabad! Thanks.EstieddieVersion: 2.0.2

AmazingIt’s amazing no words to thanks the people who made this possible also thanks for making the app iPad compatible!!!!! Must have while going on trips!!.Ckc,xmmxVersion: 2.0.8

Beautiful AppThis 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..Stop_Stop_StopVersion: 1.1.3

Very helpfulThe 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..PennyTreatVersion: 1.1.6

Denitely improvedGreat app! Glad I got it again, notifications and reminders working better which is the main point of the app. Thank you!.Rabbi4meVersion: 2.0.2

Great app!I use this app every year! I really appreciate the meditations and get my secular family actually enjoys me reading it to them. Thank you for this great app!.MiamottoVersion: 2.0.8

Needs some tweaksThe app has some good features such as reminders but parts of it are unreadable and there is no way to enlarge or darken the font. Daily meditations are unreadable and useless in present form..Ses12344Version: 2.0.8

Great app. Needs tweakingThis is a great app. It would help if the user was able to set the notification time. Currently it sends a reminder before the proper time to say sefira.SglthinksVersion: 2.0.6

First time userThis is my first year to use the app. On April 8, It says 3 days until the counting of the Omer. It starts April 9, so it should say 1... So I’m starting with a question..RKirschmannVersion: 2.0.0

Terrific app-it has it all!So glad I got this after not using it several years ago. It’s neat, simple, inspiring and complete. I have 5 Omer counters-this and MyOmer are most relied upon!! Thank you! 👍.Grace fullVersion: 2.0.2

Pages went blank!I set this up while on a Pesach retreat. When I changed the location to my home city it would show me the day but everything else disappeared..8rnuffVersion: 2.0.8

What happened to EnglishI have used this app for a long time, and in the past I could see the various texts in English. But the English is gone this year. Too bad..PapaMordecaiVersion: 2.0.8

Thanks for the fix of Prayer voice!I been using the app for many years and love it.Skyview18Version: 2.0.2

GlitchyUsed to work great, now it freezes every time I open it. Also, same meditation for each day as last year. Needs updating.David kaplinskyVersion: 2.0.2

Very helpfulבס״ד Shows reminders 30 min before the day ends to ensure you don’t forget - Nice daily meditation on the Sefirah of the day..Alberto_ilVersion: 1.1.4

Love the meditationsThe daily meditations are brilliantly written and edited. Subtle, inspiring ideas communicated with very little text--they always help me connect to the midah of the day..MelexhVersion: 1.1.2

Do you have it in Spanish language?Do you have it in Spanish language?.DavidLowingerVersion: 2.0.2

Turn off the automatic chanting!This app would be great if the training was optional. Can’t figure out how to turn it off. No settings button. Got to find another app..AJAllen2009Version: 2.0.0

Annoying out loud BrachoCouldn’t get the read out loud Bracho to stop so I deleted the app. Really would like to use this if that feature could be disabled..Count49Version: 2.0.2

Updating location not fixed...It’s free and you guys are saints in general so I can’t complain ;-) So far this year I can’t use it as it simply won’t load. Chag Same’ach!.JohndumpVersion: 1.1.4

Please fix the Prayer Trainer!The prayer trainer keeps going off every time I open the app and I can’t pause it, please fix!.NRS730Version: 2.0.0

The best.Really appreciated the reminders..Phope5Version: 2.0.2

Great appIt’s rly good and I get reminded every day and I love it.IhaveacatnamedsoloVersion: 2.0.6

Never missed a day!This app is amazing!! It reminds you to count every night and tells you when it is too late to count. There is also a checkbox for after you counted so if you don’t remember if you counted or not it tells you!!! Really recommend!.🇮🇱😁Version: 1.1.8

Great app!Thank you for publishing this. Strong suggestion: build in a share feature do I can easily share today's count on FB or email..Dan the mac geekVersion: 1.0

Omer Counter & Assistant Negative Reviews

Screen freezeEveryday I have to open to the prayer. Close it to get the counter which does not record it that night. Everyday it asks to confirm location even though I have granted access. The next evening it shows my count. Also the prayer trainer audio doesn’t work and only English text is shown. I hand used this app fir a couple of years. What went wrong? My wife and I both have the same model iPhone and she dies not have thus problem..NothsnkyiyVersion: 2.0.2

Not working rightApp 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?!?!?!.HheeverVersion: 1.1.4

Wrong DayWith all due respect, this phone app is the reason why one should always use a siddur when counting sefirat ha Omer. When I went to count, it had the next days counting with it listed as the previous days. While I commend the idea of the app, I suggest it only be used if one is in a place where the zman is about to end for counting with a bracha and no siddurim are available..WyndowSeatVersion: 1.1.4

Notifications does not workIt is very sporadic. I think the first week I got notifications every day, and then it stopped. And then two weeks will go by and one will pop up. They need to fix this, the app doesn’t help if you don’t have Reminders.Soleil613Version: 1.1.6

Great app if it loads.This is a great app that serves its purpose and more, when working. I don’t know what the issue is, but for some reason it worked on my iPhone but it won’t open after downloading it on my iPad. It just hangs on the initial screen looking for my location..LaibyVersion: 1.1.3

Can’t do the one thing I need it to doYear after year, I’ve tried using this app to remind me to count the Omer. It can’t do it. It never successfully reminds me. I’ve double and triple checked my notification settings. The app doesn’t work. I’ll go back to what I used to do— setting a daily reminder on my phone..田立永Version: 2.0.0

App keeps freezingWas working fine, now it won't let me mark read, and it freezes when I do. So I shut it down and it changes the settings and when I try to mark read it freezes.Prayz2Version: 2.0.2

Not workingThis worked very good for past several years but so far it is pulling up no information, not the prayers, not the meditations, not the exercises. I hope Chabad fixes this very quickly as I have used it for a long time and now it’s not working.RocknrobinsVersion: 2.0.6

Trouble with counterIt’s day 32 the app stop allowing me to count my day, I deleted the app twice and still won’t let me count. I was happy with the app for many years but now I am not using it. I downloaded another. Please let me know what I can do..Rud-yVersion: 2.0.2

Isn’t doing what it’s supposed toNotifications don’t work, and without notifications the app is pointless. I’ll just stick to a daily alarm and my siddur..B yaelVersion: 1.1.2

Annoying Aussie prayer can’t be turned offI really liked this last year. But this year they added audio prayer that will not stop It is so annoying.Daughter of YahwahVersion: 2.0.0

Was great but...This app was truly great—with its reminders, meditations, layout—this app had it all. But in the last few days it freezes, and has stopped sending reminders, stopped updating its badge. WHAT GIVES?.Mde100Version: 2.0.2

Was Perfect Until...This was a great app. Now it’s completely useless. It has glitched up. Every time I open, it freezes and I can’t use it. I really hope it’s fixed because it was the best Omer counting app.Moshe E. CohenVersion: 2.0.2

Doesn’t workWhen you try to click the box for the count the app freezes no notifications. Doesn’t work..Klc613Version: 2.0.2

No longer worksThis app used to be great, but it has stopped working. Too many issues Thanks for creating it..Yaakov JacobsVersion: 2.0.2

Prayer training will not stopNo matter how many times I try to pause it the prayer trainer automatically comes on. It’s really upsetting because the app used to be so helpful.Omer JewVersion: 2.0.0

In 4 days......this app was unable to move past trying to update my location. I finally deleted it..FeigieVersion: 1.1.4

Good idea, poor executionTakes too long to load, bothers me about location updates within the same city. Often hangs on title screen, needs to be killed and restarted. Doesn't always notify me at night. There are better apps out there. This one needs a lot of work to make it more user friendly and faster to load and use..TVproducer2Version: 1.0.8

DisappointedLast year the app crashed on me after a month of counting. This year it's been 10 days and it doesn't open anymore... Too bad, I liked the extra texts and meditations..WishfulcountingVersion: 1.0.6
