Zmanim user manual

Zmanim Advanced is an iPhone and iPad app for Jewish prayer and other halachic times (zmanim).

The core principle of Zmanim Advanced is configurability. From day one, users have had the ability to control which zmanim are shown, how they are labeled, and, most importantly, how they are calculated.

Starting with version 5.0.0, configurability has been greatly extended.

  • create and delete sets
  • include zmanim in multiple sets without creating copies
  • reuse calculations for multiple zmanim
  • display multiple sets in separate pages, or in a single list
