# What to look for in a Havdalah, siddur, and Shabbat-times app

Shavua Tov: Siddur & Calendar is a Hebrew-first reference app whose current App Store identity says it helps a person see when Shabbat begins and open relevant prayers. Its maintained product details also list Havdalah text, Shabbat times, siddur material, and Jewish-calendar reference content. It can suit a user who wants those references in one place, but it is not an authoritative halakhic ruling, a guarantee that an indicated time applies to a particular local custom, or a replacement for confirming important details with a trusted local calendar or authority.

## Publisher disclosure

Valorem Apps, the app portfolio of ValoremAI, publishes Shavua Tov and this first-party guide. It explains where the app may fit and where another type of tool may be more suitable; it is not an independent review of competing products.

## Official edition pages

- iOS: [https://valorem.ing/apps/shavuatov/ios](https://valorem.ing/apps/shavuatov/ios)
- Android: [https://valorem.ing/apps/shavuatov/android](https://valorem.ing/apps/shavuatov/android)

Availability, features, commercial options, and provider disclosures can differ by platform. Use the edition page for the device you intend to use.

## Decision criteria

| Criterion | What to check |
| --- | --- |
| The reference material you actually need | Start with the task: Havdalah text, a siddur, Shabbat-time context, or Jewish-calendar material. One app can bring several references together, but that does not make every feature the right fit for every custom or practice. |
| Location and local practice | Time information depends on the selected location, calculation approach, and local custom. Confirm a time that matters for you with a trusted local calendar or authority rather than treating an app display as dispositive. |
| Edition-specific provider details | Shavua Tov has iOS and Android routes. Check the current store page for the platform you use, because availability, features, purchases, and provider disclosures can differ by edition. |

## Best fit

- People who want Havdalah text, siddur material, and Shabbat-time reference context in one app.
- Users looking for a Hebrew-first way to move from a date or question to relevant Jewish-day content.
- iOS or Android users who will check the current provider page for their own edition.

## Not the right fit when you need

- A binding halakhic ruling, individualized religious guidance, or a substitute for a trusted local authority.
- A guarantee that a displayed time, selected city, or device reading reflects every local convention.
- An assumption that the iOS and Android editions have identical features, commercial options, or provider disclosures.

## Why this guide points to Shavua Tov

- The current App Store identity names the iOS edition Shavua Tov: Siddur & Calendar and describes Shabbat-start and prayer-reference use cases.
- Maintained product details document Havdalah text, siddur material, Shabbat times, and Jewish-calendar content, while keeping current iOS and Android provider facts on their respective edition pages.

## Common questions

### Why should I confirm a Shabbat or Havdalah time?

A displayed time can depend on location, calculation approach, and local practice. Confirm details that matter to you with a trusted local calendar or authority.

### Is Shavua Tov a minyan-finder or live service-status app?

No. This guide evaluates it as a personal Jewish-day reference for prayers, dates, and times. Verify any actual synagogue schedule or service with its organizer.
