Yipee! The iPhone Siddur is now live on the Apple iTunes App Store. To get it, via the iTunes App Store go here.
This release has:
- Siddur for Ashkenaz and Sefard for weekday
- Zmanim based on location, with a location override
The text needs to be cleaned up for Sefard.
The next version release, which will be very soon (like tonight or tomorrow), will have:
- Siddur text for Sefarad Mizrachi
- Minyanim database, finds nearest shul to your location
- Luach for Jewish Calendar
- Cleaned up Ashkenaz and Sefard siddur text
- And more.
Then version three will have bug fixes and a Jewish Calendar, Luach. We are also going to try to add automatic prayers, so you will only see the prayers you need to see based on the date.
Hope you like it, we are charging $9.99 - but the next few updates will all be free.
We have so much we want to still add and we will keep pushing out updates. Any feedback, for now, go to The Google Group.

All updates need to be approved by Apple. So it may take a few days.

Thanks Matt. To bad you have no use for it. ;-)
We are excited for the next free release to get approved by Apple.

Will the next update include the ability to enter your ZIP for Zmanim ? This functionality is useless for ITOUCH users.
I did some catching up with the isiddur this morning on the way into the city , very handy.

Yes Ron. But, iTouch users should be able to use the localization feature when on a wifi network. In any event, you will be able to enter a zip code or long/lat in the next release.
