Feature Requests for Siddur    

Here are most the feature requests we have heard from Siddur users:

 

Features Requests:

  • Page scrolling, by tapping at the bottom/top of a page, for jumping to the next/previous page, instead of line-scrolling. 
  • could you please set a full page mode, in the middle of the prayer, you don't need neither the header nor the footer.  When in full-page mode, you got a little   translucent "i" icon in the upper-right corner, which gets you back to   the "normal" mode.
  • Laminzach in Maariv
  • Would very much like a flag option to remove "sh'hem mishtachavim l'hevel"from Aleinu
  • more corrections for edut mizrach: 1a. Bircat Hamazon for Saturday night should have Migdol instead of Migdal (need source for this)
  • Schacharit in Edot Mizrach: missing extra tachanun and special prayers specific for this fast (need more info on this)
  • I see the Yehi Rotzon tefilot right after. Not sure that this is
    said at Mincha.
    (this is including the shacharis torah reading section.  We don't eliminate anything.  It is up to the end user to do so.)
  • Didn't see the tefilot for putting the Torah away (This would mess up Siddur Lite and Smart Siddur = OFF; It would show this even when it is not a fast day)
  • In Edot Mizrach the shem hashem is always followed by יאהדונהי, in all edot hamizrach siddurim. Please add, preferably a bit smaller
  • In Edot Mizrach, at most occurrences, the shem hashem has a space char at its end, before the comma. Please remove this space (it came from the find/replace, a couple of months ago, if you remember:).
  • Remove duplicate names in the public list (just show it once) (I can't.  Each name could be a distinct Jew in need of a tefillah and therefore needs equal exposure on the list.)
  • Anyway, here goes (all comments are on the Edot HaMizrach version):

    Transliterations

    - I know you already have this item somewhere, but just wanted to voice my vote to change the transliteration "Edut" to "Edot".  It also should be "Edot HaMizrach" -- adding the "Ha" before Mizrach, to match the Hebrew.

    - Transliterations of the prayer names should be changed to be Shacharit instead of Shacharis, Arvit instead of Maariv, Brachot instead of Brachos.

    - Within Brachot, you're mostly good, with the exception of Brit instead of Bris.  Also should probably just be "Birkat HaMazon" instead of Benching (which is yiddish-based).

    Clearly the transliterations are not earth-shattering in importance (especially since the English can be turned off), but they would show a proper sensitivity to the nosach if corrected.

    Content

    (forgive the transliteration on content -- my email software doesn't support Unicode. i know, i know, time to change.)

    - Within the Bracha Me'en Shalosh (Al Hamichya), where it should say "Al Hayayin" it actually says hashem's name.  Probably was done as a global replace of the double-yud.  This occurs in three places that I spotted.

    - In Aleinu Leshabeyach (in all tefilot as far as I remember), it says "Vaanachnu korim umishtechavim umodim lifnei melech...".  In every siddur nosach edot hamizrach that I have every seen, this is actually "Vaanachnu mishtechavim lifnei melech..." so I assume this was a copy/paste error from a different nosach and should be corrected.


Text Changes

  • [smart siddur for regular chol day]

    001. could you please start the siddur with this:
    בבוקר לפני תחילת התפילה יאמר

    הריני מגלה דעתי שמעתה ועד מחר, בכל פעם שאזכיר שם:
    אדנו"ת המבורך, תהיה כונתי:אדון הכל יחיד ומיוחד.

    ובשם הנכתב:
    הוי"ה ברוך הוא ונזכר באדנו"ת, תהיה כונתי:
    היה הוה ויהיה אדון הכל יחיד ומיוחד.

    וכשאזכיר שם:
    אלהות יתברך, תהיה כונתי:
    שר ומושל, תקיף בעל היכולת ובעל הכוחות כולם, עילת העילות וסיבת הסיבות, ושליט על כל העולמות.
    עצה זו אינה מועילה לפסוק ראשון של קריאת שמע

    007. birkot hatora, no empty line after vaydaber..lemor.
    008. daber shouldn't be bold.
    009. no empty line after amor lahem.
    010. yevarechecha, not bold.
    012. we (edot hamizrach) don't say adon olam here.
    013. tikun chatsot. leshem yichud should be a bit bigger.
    014. please correct leshem yichud: הֲרֵינִי מוּכָן לוֹמַר (בימים שאין אומרים תקון רחל, מדלגים על המלים: תִּקּוּן רָחֵל וְ) תִקּוּן לֵאָה כְּמוֹ שֶׁסִּדְּרוּ לָנוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ זִכְרוֹנָם לִבְרָכָה, לְתַקֵּן אֶת שָׁרְשָׁם  (בימים שאין אומרים תקון רחל, אומרים: שָׁרְשׁוֹ) בְּמָקוֹם עֶלְיוֹן...
    015. before al naharot bavel, add sub-title/comment: באמירת מזמור זה יכוין לבכות על חורבן בית המקדש:
    016. before mizmor leasaf, add sub-title/comment: באמירת מזמור זה יכוין לבכות על הריגת הצדיקים:
    017. al tizkor shouldn't be bold.
    018. beyamim sheein...ad ana bichyia, bigger. please add: ויאמר - "תקום" וכו'
    019. that's why takum should be on a new line.

    020. tikun chatsot and patach elyahu, should be both in the select prayer window, they are not part of shacharit.
    021. patach elyahu. intro doesn't make sense, duplication...
    remove veachar kach...
    ptichat elyiahu is a title.
    022. vihee noam, bigger.
    023. before the kaddish, please add:
    לאחר פתיחת אליהו יש נוהגים לומר:
    יהא רעוא מן קדם עתיקא קדישא דכל קדישין טמירא דכל טמירין סתימא דכולא דיתמשך טלא עלאה מניה למליא רישיה דזעיר אנפין. ולהטיל לחקל תפוחין קדישין בנהירו  דאנפין ברעוא ובחדותא דכולא. ויתמשך מן קדם עתיקא קדישא דכל קדישין טמירא דכל טמירין סתימא דכולא. רעותא ורחמי חנא וחסדא בנהירו עלאה ברעותא וחדוה עלי ועל כל בני ביתי. ועל כל הנלוים אלי ועל כל ישראל עמיה. ויפרקינן מכל עקתין בישין דייתון לעלמא. ויזמין ויתיהיב לנא ולכל נפשתנא חנא וחסדא וחיי אריכי ומזוני רויחי ורחמי מן קדמיה. אמן כן יהי רצון אמן ואמן.

    024. maybe split title talit and tfilin, make it 2 titles.
    025. in the tfilin bracha, lehaniach tfilin, shouldn't be bold.
    026. vehaya ki yeviacha, not bold.
    027. veha'avarta kol peter... not bold.
    028. vahaya ki yishalecha, not bold.
    029. wheel: shacharit, should be vatitpalel chana. BTW (or not), you really should do something about this wheel, it's nice, but very very unpractical this way (jump immediately).
    030. leshem yichud, bigger.
    031. vayehee achar hadevarim... (akeida), maybe also general, there are a lot of bolds, it's quite disturbing. It would be better to have always just the first word in the paragraph in bold. In fact, most siddur don't do bold, but rather have the first word bigger.
    032. veshachat... not everyone says, so it should be small just as the following yehee ratson.
    033. end of yehee ratson, should mention to jump to kemo shekavash (if you say yehee ratson, you should skip the 3 words ribono shel olam), and say Ukemo shekavash... (add the U-).
    034. shema ysroel, baruch shem. Ad Kan should be small (like belachash, it's a comment too).
    035. in tanei var kapara, hashem tsevaot: on a new line.
    036. ana bekoach. important, after each passuk, put the rashei tevot.
    also, veomer - either remove or as comment (small).
    037. mishnayot, everyone should be a new paragraph (with start as bold), not only from the 3rd mishna.
    038. chatot, misses the cholam nikud on the teith (twice).
    039. rabbi yshmael, the count shoudn't be bold, maybe even smaller, they are comments.
    040. yehee ratson (start paragraph) should be bold.

    [ooops - bug] i got till the end of the kadish al ysroel, every timei tap on the left arrow (next to the wheel), the text shrinks, the right arrow makes the text bigger. Is this intended to be (undocumented feature)?
    Then i played a bit with the wheel and arrow, the arrows won't do anything, but the wheel works. Anyway, the text remains small. In the settings pane, the text size slider is at the minimum :)

    Also, do i have to get back to the sections page, in order to move on to psukei dezimra? I should be able to move on through the whole prayer without having to get back to the sections window in the middle of the daven, don't you think?

    041. hodu lashem. lashem nikud is wrong, it should be kamats below the lamed and no sheva.
    042. cholam missing on the vav of bishmo.
    043. same on vav of several "lo".
    044. lot of cholam missing (hodiu, alilotav, nifleotav, kodsho, veuzo, mofetav,...) and much more please check again or just take this instead ( i hope the mac nikud matches :):
    הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָיאהדונהי קִרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹ. הוֹדִיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילֹתָיו: שִׁירוּ לוֹ זַמְּרוּ לוֹ. שִׂיחוּ בְּכָל נִפְלְאֹתָיו: הִתְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ. יִשְׂמַח לֵב מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהֹוָיאהדונהי: דִּרְשׁוּ יְהֹוָ יאהדונהי וְעֻזּוֹ. בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִיד: זִכְרוּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה. מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי פִיהוּ: זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדּוֹ. בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָיו: הוּא יְהֹוָ יאהדונהי אֱלֹהֵינוּ. בְּכָל הָאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָיו: זִכְרוּ לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ. דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶלֶף דּוֹר:



Feature Requests Not Currently Being Worked On:

  • Add Annenu to Nusach Sefard tfila for rain ( ananu) in berchat "Shema kolenu" in Shemoneh Esrei, copy from here .
  • Kiddush Levana in Luach and Smart Siddur? See guys email
  • Smart Siddur for Chabad (Waiting for Kehot)
  • Ari bentshing &הכתב הוא הפוך רק בהנושא: Towards the end at "cmo shebeyRACH es avosainu" with a kamatz the reish has a shva 
  • Forgot about hoshana raba
  • Mussaf for chol hamoed
  • Highlight any special texts not normally said, using Smart Siddur (to make it stand out) 
  • Simchas Tora lists the parsha as Beraishis. It should be Vezos  Habracha  
  • Auto detect if you are in Israel (current setting should turn into an override setting)
  • English Version
  • The 30 Cheshvan bug is fixed (no more crashes), but there is one  minor issue to still fix. Select 30 Cheshvan 5770 and change the year  to 5771 that also has a valid 30 Cheshvan, and you will see that the  day of the month jumps to the 29th. 
  • Transliterated Version
  • Translate UI to French, Spanish, etc.
  • bookmark location in siddur 
  • Mizrach compass. Consider using the Direction to Yerushalayim Map code if the iPhone will not natively support compass functionality.
  • Could you make an option to save locations for zmanim and then be able to choose between them,because for people like me with an ipod touch in Israel,you don't have a gps or cellular/wi-fi triangulation to always update your location.Also,the minyanim feature hasn't been working for me, even though godaven.com has minyanim in Efrat.
  • Directions to minyan, with calculation if you can make it there on time (with adjustable buffer period to allow you to be late... 10 mins for shacharis, 5 for mincha, etc).
  • Next minyan in your area - set a radius and the program finds the next minyan in the radius, & tells you if you'll make it there on time.
  • It would be nice if the Luach had a "reverse" search, i.e. look for a Hebrew date and have it come up in the english calendar. 
  • Kiddush Levana has to be said before the full moon. The smart siddur should only show kiddush levana from the 3rd day of the month (some will not say it before the 7th), till the full moon. Adding a "Kiddush levana has to be said before LATEST_KIDDUSH_LEVANA_DATE_TIME" with dynamic monthly time at the top of the section would be very helpful. You can put a star or M for moon that pops up on the "luach" buttom on the first day to say Bircat Halevana and then you can shut the reminder once you say it. It can also give warnings on the last two days if the M was not checked off.
  • Please use Sephardic transliterations. Brachot instead of brachos.
  • should be able to scroll from inside text thru all the sections of a tefila ex. after shema to go to shmona esrei i have to go out select shmona esrei there is no reason for all these pressing of buttons.
  • Add "V'Tachazireinu L'Shalom" (usually found in parens) in T'filas HaDerech? 
  • The parts of davening only in use in a bais avel (alainu section) should be hidden, so that the 99.99% of the time the siddur is in use, there will be less scrolling. Maybe add it to the brachos availim section, o add the entire section as a standalone section
  • In Barech Alainu, the Vesain Bracha is in brackets in the format of (in the summer Beracha). The smart siddur should remove the in the summer, and the brackets and just have the word beracha. It is after
    all a smart siddur. 
  • For the first 30 days after the vesain beracha / vesain tal umatar switch have it highlight in yellow to draw attention to it (this is something that might actually be implemented already for all I know). 
  • in Shema Kolainu, the tfila for rain is very rarely said, is not in most siddurim (not in artscroll). The Mechaber brings it down as part of the 7 rain fasts, not something said every day, and certainly not in the summer. I vote to remove it, or have it show collapsed in the winter only 
  • There is a note before the lamenatzaiach before Uva Letziyon about the days it is said/skipped. This should be part of the smart siddur, and the list of when it is said is redundant. 
  • There is a star in Shema Kolainu in Mincha that leads to no footnote.  also In Mincha, the Vilirushalayim Ircha has a * that lead to no footnotes 
  • The minyanim list has the miles aligned in the center in a landscape view. It is probably coded just for portrait and does not adjust for landscape. 
  • Long shul names that fit in well in landscape are still truncated with a ... in landscape (related to the above item)
  • Could you add the tefilah for parnasah in shma koleinu
  • Add clickable details about holidays in Luach list view
  • Add special maftir and haftarot to Luach.
  • Show candle lighting days in Luach.
  • Map. Allow east zoom or default to 50 sq mile (or whatever) radius around my current location so I can very quickly see "who" is near mr
  • Misheberach. Allow entry in English and / or tarnsliterated for names I don't know how to spell in Hebrew such as Tziporah e.g.  I would rather enter transliterated than guess the Hebrew spelling
  • In the siddur by Shemona Esrai, please make by Borach Aleinu in perentices Visen Bracha and not just Tal Umator.
  • In the nusach Ari , shacharis, by brochus , the kadish d'rabanan is missing a line or 2 before 'al Yisroel ' 
  • Nusach Sefrard Its missing the Tefillah לבד הנשמה הטהורה  
  • Please make it possible to print or email Cholim List.
  • Make an option for done button or not? Selector woes http://groups.google.com/group/iphone-siddur/browse_thread/thread/e5c69b44931e409d

  • Auto Location feature now looks for time stamp of geolocation retrieved date and uses only new locations retrieved. 
  • Help documentation added to iPhone app
  • Major major improvements to Sephardic/Edot HaMizrach text.  We went through it in detail and cleaned a ton of it up.  I am sure there will be bugs, but your feedback helped a lot.  Do note that some of the feedback was specific to certain 'flavors' of this Nusach, we need to be as "generic" as possible when releasing the Siddur.  So hopefully that is okay because we cannot release 30 different flavors of Sephardic text.  Also, Sephardic does not have the Smart Siddur yet, we hope to add that soon...

We are waiting on getting the revised Minyan database, as soon as we
get it (typically within 24 hours) we can post it to Apple.

Apple typically takes about a week to approve updates.
