Zmanim - זמנים

iPhone OS 3.0 compatibility

The newest version of Apple's iPhone OS finally handles R2L languages properly. Because of this, Zmanim will display all Hebrew (Ivrit) text backwards. A fix will be available soon.

Description

Zmanim is an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that displays times through-out the day that are relevant to Jewish Law (Halacha).

Usage

To use, tap the "i" in the lower right corner and enter the longitude and latitude for your location. You can also choose to enable Location Services to determine your location. On the iPhone, this will use the built-in GPS unit. On the iPod Touch, an internet connection will be required. Optionally, choose the language in which the labels will be displayed. The choices are Ivrit (Hebrew), English with Ashkenazi spellings and English with Israeli (Sepharadi) spellings.
