Pros and cons of Hebrew Calendar app for iPhone and iPad

Hebrew Calendar app good for

What a great application! Very well done and very useful. I love it!
Great app!!! Never really knew all dates. This is a great help to all who love the Jewish people
I feel that the Hebrew Calendar is Great. I bet your wondering why, well if you plan on spending one dollar against a fiteen dollar real calendar the app is a much better deal. You get to stay on track with all of the Jewish holidays. If you are not Jewish and you have Jewish friends you can look at the calendar on your iPhone or iTouch and wish them a happy holiday of which ever holiday it is. Even if you are Jewish its good to keep track too.
We all know the week starts with Sunday, but it would be nice to have the days of the week as headings in the "month view", just like in any calendar application. Otherwise great!
Would love to see the ability to add birthdays, events, yahrzeits, etc. Also would love a way to interface this with the iPhone calendar. Other than that this is great!
It is great to look at a calendar where Rosh Chodesh starts every month and every Jewish holiday is nicely marked with the Gregorian counterpart instead of the other way around. Thank You

Some bad moments

please try to make update for 1st ipod, bec i bought not knowing it was for iphone and 2nd ipod
It should show corrisponding dates for the Gegorian calendar. That fault makes it much less useful.
Couldve been a great app but no reminders pop ups? Im really disappointed.
I almost missed the first night of chanukah for december 2010 because the Hebrew Calendar app shows that the first night of chanukah is thursday when chanukah eve is actually Wednesday. The Hebrew Calendar is only showing the dates for the gregorian calendar instead of erev rosh hashanna, erev yom kippur. Jewish calendar goes according to the lunar calendar not solar. This is critical and none of the iphone,ipad Hebrew Calendars addressed this issue yet. Please fix asap. It would also be nice to integrate with ical.
But patiently waiting for "ALARM" setting. Without alarm, still using iPhone calendar. An alarm feature is long long over due. I downgraded for lack of Alarm feature.
The calendar have to have an event alarm. Without such feature not much of a use.

Usually Hebrew Calendar iOS app used & searched for

hebrew calendar, jewish calender, and other. So, download free Hebrew Calendar .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
