Good to know
- Checked against hebcal.com for a Brooklyn zip code: all the GRA zmanim on four dates (summer, winter, spring and this Friday) agree within a minute (most within a few seconds), and so do 105 candle-lighting and havdalah times from now through October 2027.
- Reminders only need to be set once. The app doesn't have to be open, and they come back after the phone restarts. If you travel, they follow the place on the screen.
- "Quiet on Shabbos & Yom Tov" (on by default) skips any reminder between candle lighting and havdalah.
- The first search after opening the app can take a few seconds while it reads the place list.
- Airport codes share keys (5 4 2 is also JHB), so look for the code in the list. The big airports come first.
- Times can differ by a minute or two from printed luachs, which use their own rounding and locations. When it matters, ask your Rav.
- To test reminders: press 5 → Test: notify in 10 seconds → OK.
- Have a computer with adb?
adb install -r Zmanim-VN220.apkalso works.
