Prayers Apps

​

​

The Siddur and Zmanim app is one example. It does everything short of praying for you. Choose your nusach (the version of the prayers), and you’re on your way with prayers customized for the day.

Plus, it comes with all sorts of extras, like:

• a mizrach compass

• local zmanim (mandatory times) for davening

• notification options

It even includes the Minyan Now app, which helps you put together a minyan dynamically wherever you are: park, airport, event, etc.

And if you need zmanim on the fly, you need MyZmanim – literally! MyZmanim is a full-service zmanim app. But what sets it apart is its in-flight Zmanim service.

International and cross-country flights wreak havoc on davening times. And on a fast day, you can actually fly in and out of the fast.

Enter your flight info into this super-cool app, and it will calculate your in-flight zmanim and send you a pdf with the times.

Just flip through the different cities and countries, to see what the local time is and what time they start or finish Shabbos.

​​CalJ is an all-in-one Jewish calendar app. Aside from the all-important integrated Jewish-Gregorian calendar and scheduler, it includes zmanim, Shabbos and holiday times, and event reminders. This app does it all.

Whether you join as a guest or a host, you’ll make connections with Jews from all over. Maybe you’ll find a long lost relative. It’s Jewish geography on steroids.
