Omer Counter

Revised revised review: I have now discovered another nice thing about the app — the developer’s quick and helpful responses when I haven’t been able to find my way through all the goodies the app offers. Thank you! I really love this app. My big wish is: I would love to be able to go back to the resources and ideas in the Quotes from earlier days! There is sooo much here, I wish I could figure out where earlier quotes had led! I tried using this app in a previous version but found it too hard to use. No longer! It did honestly take me a couple of days to find all the resources in the app, but now I am looking forward each evening to a wonderful close to the day and opening to peace and spiritual awakening

Nice alternative counting app but not polished. Slow response from buttons on bottom ribbon, unintuitive layout, no obvious way to mark past days as counted regardless of status (to accommodate those finding the app during the Omer and still counting with a blessing). Not very user friendly. In summary, if you didn’t get this app before the Omer, you’re out of luck on being able to mark that you’ve counted to personalize your use. Better luck next year. Hopefully an update or several will fix some of this! Would love to see a polished version, as I love the etz chayim / sfirot. But for now, Chabad comes out ahead for the most user friendly, responsive app.

This is a go-to app but something happened as i was about to use it for Day 9. It crashed. Checked to see if there is an update today. Yes there is. Applied it. Nothing. Not opening. {shrug}. O well. Prior to that, this was a wonderful app that went beyond the standard fare by applying one’s heart to the requirement to Offer Omer this time of year, amongst other intriguing Offering enhancing considerations. I will wait a few days. Perhaps it did not like this year’s 9th Day. I can only hope. If I have one gripe it is the hive-mind of praying for Ukraine. I imagine the developer(s) has/have ancestry in that region. Because, unlike what the western media blabs daily, there are many many armed conflicts happening on this planet to-day … but they aren’t Europeans. What are those poor souls holed up in those messes; chopped liver? We pray for everyone who finds their life and living threatened by armed conflict in their homeland, from the small village no one cares about to the cities, even in USAmerica, where gun violence is a frequent daily prevalence and a regularity, and those places where strategists figure which best war-toy to use to win the day’s battles.
