Almost like the Quiet Wave, only the news of the hour (without alerts). Stay informed in times of emergency. Plus info on the upcoming week (Holiday, Shabbat's Mevarchim, Times, Parasha, ...)

A kind of "Saturday Clock" for the radio.
And now, also regular radio.

The application allows curious Shabbat keepers to hear - in a weak voice as they wish - a short news release every few hours. Once the news ends, you can hear nothing more - There's no need to leave your computer on all Shabbat with a news site that reloads every few minutes.

The app seems to "turn on/off" the volume and thus you can hear news in times of emergency, with minimal damage to the joy of Shabbat.

There is no need to touch the phone, just prepare it before Shabbat begins: turn on the radio application (optional, as you can choose one of the radio stations from inside the app), make sure the battery is charged (perhaps also connected to the charger), that the phone is connected to the Internet without interruptions (for example, the router may turn off when the power is turned off by the Shabbat clock, so you should disconnect the device from WiFi), and that the auto-restart is disabled.

For your safety, consider to prepare another device to hear the original silent wave, which sounds alerts in near real time. The app doesn't really know what's being broadcast, although the emergency alerts will break through anyway.

A seconds counter is also displayed to optimize the start of the playback according to the delay used in your places, which is usually at least 20 seconds. That way you won't hear half a jingle right before the news.
