New Shabbat Phone App
« on: October 03, 2014, 04:17:58 AM »
Hello,
A new thing is going around online about a Shabbat Phone App...? And I am confused because the company is stating they're frum- but a phone app to be used on Shabbos?   :o
Anyone heard of this?

Is this a joke? You cannot use a smartphone on Shabbos...

I get text messages on Friday from Chabad with the candle lighting times...
You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

Exactly. It's not allowed, this is why it was so surprising to me. But now I don't see it anymore online. Maybe it was deleted.
