Ratings and reviews

I really like this app, matter of fact I just uninstalled and installed the latest version. The only thing missing is showing how long an hour is based on the day and location. You obviously have the data to calculate the times. I was in a class and a student had the "smart luach" app which is for iOS only. That app shows the length of the hour in seconds. Would be a nice to have.

The app does what it should. My only complaints are that 1) emphasis doesnt apply to widgets and 2) I cant choose a specific time for a widget. I would love to have the third widget, which has the big time on it to be able to be set to a specific time each day, whether its before or after the time. I.e. I want to have it only show earliest times to wear tefillin all day no matter what time it is.

Halachic times setting for the latest Shma is stuck at Gr'a, though I had Magen Avraham before. When trying to change, I can choose the respective button, but when returning to the times, it's back at Gr'a. Update: the zmanim setting still has Magen Avraham as a choice, it just doesn't do anything. Question: 72 minutes zmani?
