Siddur Reviews

I can’t believe they released this and charge us. I also can’t believe I fell for it and bought it! The Hebrew font is way too small to be useful to pray.

Crashes all the time. Will not open.

I use this all the time, but I can’t give it a good review because of the frustration I have. When I open Siddur and begin navigating to a part of prayer, it then jumps around back to the first page it was on. I’m constantly losing my place and not able to find where my prayer spot was due to this bug. Want my money back

Is not possible to use Siddur with the VoiceOver screen reader. It only reads the menu items but I can’t read/navigate through the content, that is the most important and the reason why Siddur exists.

Not satisfied the words are too small and can not be adjusted ,feel they need to look how ArtScroll app looks and than think of such a price

I was robbed

Not worth much Siddur

Such limited settings. Also baught this by mistake instead of the other much better version without the english

Siddur is advertised as providing linear translations. I downloaded specifically for Kinot just to find that Kinot were in Hebrew only. Disappointed.

I use an iPad. Siddur was fine before the most recent update, and now immediately closes after opening.

First the good things: Thought this was a great way learning the prayers with this translation. And it works because every hebrew sentence is translated and it’s easy to follow. It has all the prayer you need.

The bad:
1. The text is not native to Siddur . Meaning to say you can’t increase the text size or change font. It’s just basically PDFs that you can zoom in and out but you have to scroll then horizontally while praying.
2. When you scroll further down and you want to get back all the way to the top of the prayer usually you would swipe up and tab the top bar and it would scroll all the way to the top of the page. Not in Siddur. Especially painful since the texts are long.
3. At the current state the price is very high. If this would be $0.99 it might be a slight different story. In the end I would like to have a great app and pay for it.

See how the Rusty Brick this app did all of it much better.

This is a great this app and it is very similar to a rusty brick this app I bought. My only suggestion would be to have the option of turning off the English translation of the this app. I understand this is Kehos but when you have the English and Hebrew side by side on the phone it is hard on the eyes to read the Hebrew so far away.

There is no payers for Shabbat or holidays

Before I purchased this it said it was transliterated but it is not.

Not working so well past week.
Random parts of davening just pop up. Once they fix it I’ll give it 5 stars.

I bought this version while waiting for the Annotated this app to have the English translation added. I have been happily using the annotated version for years.

This is an excellent alternative. I used it for davening today and it worked well. It also offered pleasant, unexpected surprises.

Glad I bought it.

UPDATE: April 2018. Still using Siddur almost every day and still satisfied.

However, I noticed 2 issues:

1. On my iPad pro there is a rare occasional crash. I also notice some occasional “blinking” of the screen. I don’t know if these are related.

2. It seems to me that the Omer count is one day behind. I counted 3 days of the Omer tonight after Maariv but Siddur indicated 2 days. BUT, I enjoyed finding the Omer section inserted into Maariv. Very nice touch!

The content, design, and text layout is great.

Would be wonderful if the designers of Siddur created a similarly styled Tehilim.

Thank you!

Dear developer thank you for making Siddur can you please make a black screen with a white text so it’s easier to read. Thank you. Eliyahu

I love everything about Siddur. However, it doesn’t seem to obey the daylight savings time settings now that Siddur has experienced its first transition through one. It still shows DST times in the Halachic Times menu, and on the home screen. I look forward to the update that will make Siddur even more useful!

I love it. I like that it shows you on the home page either the prayer for Mariv or Minja or Arbit depends on what time it is or it shows you the Omer. You have easy access to the prayer that you need on the time that you need them.
However on the menu you can find a Table of Contents if you are looking for something else.
Do you have a Spanish - Hebrew Version?

For those of us who don’t have an actual Shule nearby that we can go to everyday.. this this app makes it possible to know what to do and when..I had to pull some shenanigans (bluestacks) to get it on my surface pro.. but worth it!!!! It literally is the only this app I use .. except Shabbat an holidays.. but I have a Rabbi on those days.. this is the one!!!! Needs to have a “not praying in minyan option” but otherwise.. perfect

I was initially apprehensive to download another this app app.

After having searched high and low for a this app that was beautiful and useful, I have not found that which my soul seeks - until now.

This beautiful this app has all of the instruction and visual appeal of the print version.

Where it truly shines though, is the fully automated and seamless additions for seasonal and daily changes in the prayer. It is simply fantastic.

The integrated zmanim section - brilliant. The only thing it could improve would be to have the times offline. EDIT: after reaching out to the developer, they responded that zmanim times are downloaded offline for 30 days!!

All in all, Kehos and Chabad.org did not disappoint on this one. The aesthetic beauty of Kehos' latest offerings married with the technological prowess of Chabad.org have produced a true wunderkind of a this app!
