OmerCount contains a spam virus that launches websites on safari whenever you open it.

OmerCount misses the fact that in Judaism a day is from sunset to sunset. OmerCount rolls over to the next day at midnight before the sunset of the next day, therefor the count is wrong for 20 hours out of 24 hours.

I have really enjoyed using OmerCount to count the omer this year. I love the sefirot diagram, and I especially love the 40-day progress counter that fills in with the colorful circles.
Unfortunately, if you count but don't check the "I counted today!" box EVERY day, the circles won't fill in. This is a problem for Shabbat and any other time you may count without OmerCount . I'd love to have a backtracking option so I can retroactively check off those days and see my full colored-in diagram at the end!
If this is addressed, I will adjust my rating to 5 stars.
Thanks for this simple, free, and colorful omer counting app!

Omer Count and Omer Counter are the original iPhone Omer apps. Also the most fun! There are no viruses or spam, it's really free and it works beautifully.
@Liam: Omer Count gives the right day. Look at the directions and you won't have a problem. @Yaakov: neohasid.org got hacked two years ago and then we fixed it. @Moshe Berman: giving bad reviews to competing apps is not a menshlikh way to promote your own app. To everyone else: Omer Count has a lot more than just the count: it will walk you through the blessing and counting if you aren't familiar with it, it won't preach at you, it has a spiritual teaching for each day, and it opens up the Kabbalistic significance of the day. There are a few other Omer apps that touch on the Kabbalah (not Moshe's), and I'm interested in trying them too. Moshe's app has alarms, which is great, but it's not beautiful or spiritual. It used to have ads and now it's $2.99. Omer Count is free and Omer Counter is $.99 and they both have all the features. Omer Count doesn't (yet) have alarms. So, that's the tradeoff. (You can always set a regular alarm and call it "Omer" no matter which app you have.)

(An omer is a measure of grain, like a bushel.) Each night during the 49 days of this seven week period, the count of the days is recited with a blessing--this ritual is called "Sefirat HaOmer." In Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), each of the 49 days also corresponds with the purification of a specific quality within ourselves that connects to the divine.
There is also a modern custom, based on the Sefirot and counting the Omer, to similarly count the days from Tisha B'Av to Rosh Hashanah.
For each day of the Omer (and similarly for the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah), it will also show you which quality was connected by the Kabbalists with that day, and it will give you a quote related to that quality, along with links to find out more about counting and what it means.
These qualities are called "Sefirot," and remembering which qualities correspond to each day has been part of the ritual of counting the Omer since the Middle Ages.
This app will help you count the Omer from Passover to Shavuot by keeping track of the count and giving you the blessing and the Hebrew for each day's count.
What is the Omer? Exactly seven weeks fall between Passover and Shavuot, marking the transition from the redemption in Egypt to the revelation at Sinai.
New for this year, it will also help you count the seven weeks from Tisha B'Av to Rosh Hashanah.
This period is called the Omer, and it also corresponds to the time between the barley harvest and the wheat harvest in ancient Israel.
The app keeps track of the days and the Sefirot and also includes quotes and intentions for each day.
If you want to remove the banner, you can also buy the paid version of the app, which has some additional features.
