זמני יוסף - R' Ovadia Zmanim

Elyahu41

About this app

A zmanim app according to Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef ZT"L and the Yalkut Yosef. The calculations are based off of the Ohr HaChaim calendar in Israel that Rabbi Ovadiah himself created in the 1990's with HaRav Shlomo Benizri and HaRav Asher Darshan, and he used the calendar until he passed.

There is also an additional option in the settings to display the zmanim of the Luach Amudei Horaah created by Rabbi Leor Dahan Shlita. The Amudei Horaah calendar created by Rabbi Dahan is according to the Halacha Berurah and it should only be used outside of Israel in more northern/southern areas.

This app contains everything you could want from a jewish zmanim calendar!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

I would like to thank my Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Yitzhak Fayazi Shlita for giving me the idea to create a zmanim app according to Rabbi Ovadiah's opinion and for the tremendous spiritual support he has given me.

I would also like to thank:

Rabbi Shlomo Benizri, Rabbi Asher Darshan, Rabbi Leor Dahan, and Rabbi Meir Gabriel Elbaz for answering any questions I had with the halachot of zmanim.

I would also like to thank Eliyahu Hershfeld. Eliyahu created the KosherJava package to help the world calculate zmanim. Thank you, as I would never have been able to create this app without your contribution.

I would also like to thank Maor Naim for his contributions to the android app and all his effort on the website.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent app, excellent dev. My new go-to app for zmanim for good reason. Use it every day. Just tested the new watch app. It's very handy but I have to scroll a lot just to get to the information I'm looking for.

Practically use this app every single day. Finally, accurate zmanim according to our poskim.

As one of the app consultants, I am proud to say that Elyahu (the developer) is dedicated to the apps performance, even going out of the way to benefit the users. This app is unparalleled, and I await to see its growth.

What's new

Fix widget layout issues, add a setting for the preferred time for misheyakir, some bug fixes.
