Zmanim - Jewish Prayer Times

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set my location?

Go to Settings > Location. You can either use your current GPS location or search for a city. Popular Jewish communities are listed for quick selection.

How is candle lighting time calculated?

Candle lighting is calculated as a number of minutes before sunset (typically 18 minutes, or 40 minutes in Jerusalem). You can adjust this in Settings > Candle Lighting.

What are the different halachic opinions?

Free users see times according to the GRA (Vilna Gaon). Pro users can also view MGA (Magen Avraham) and Rabbeinu Tam opinions, which calculate proportional hours differently.

How do I change nusach in the siddur?

In the Siddur view, tap the book icon in the top-left to switch between Ashkenaz, Sefard, and Edot HaMizrach.

Are the prayer times accurate?

Zmanim uses the NOAA solar calculator algorithm, the same standard used by major Jewish time authorities. Times should be accurate to within 1 minute for most locations.

Does the app work offline?

Yes! All calculations are performed on-device. Once you've set your location, the app works without internet.

How do I restore my subscription?

Go to Settings > Restore Purchases. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
