Pros and cons of Jewish Days app for iPhone and iPad

Jewish Days app good for

OUTSTANDING!!! Exactly what I was looking for....PERFECTION.
This is a very good program but it is missing the ability to address personal dates to the calendar
All my information to stay in tune with Him is in one place. Even adding dates/events to my Google calendar. Perfect for thus Woman of G-d on the go!
Being estranged from my Jewish ancestry, I never learned about Jewish customs and traditions as my parents did, instead only learning anything about my heritage from my Grandmother. This app (while not my only avenue of exploration of course) has been an immensely helpful tool for learning about certain holidays and fasts important to Jewish communities as I rediscover the culture of my forebears.
This app is great and very well thought out. I would recommend it for all of us who wish to see dates and times of holidays etc for years to come Jeff
...I cant put my appointments in it. If the developers did an update that will allow me to replace the standard iPhone calendar with this, I will gladly give it five stars. All in all though, very glad the apps exists.

Some bad moments

This is a great app. No more running around trying to find the right calendar. Its all at my fingertips. Love that I can plan Paasover for years to come. Thanks soooo much. Shalom
This app shows a calendar on the left but will display information only for the Jewish holiday. So, if you want to know when the 18th of Adar is, for example, you have to look at Purim, then count forward. I wish it would tell you the actual DATE that when you tap a spot on the calendar. Instead, you never see anything other then the Jewish holiday for that month.
Would like to view the Hebrew calendar in order to remember yahrzeit dates. This only shows the Julian calendar.
Sorry but I tend to be a highly critical reviewer. For some less observant this could be a problem. How can I trust this app after such an inaccuracy...?
It doesnt integrate with my iPhone cal & missed that today is first day of Rosh Khodesh Kislev.
If you cant note a birthday and have it remain as a perpetual calendar, this has no use. I could use the internet for this.
