Description

The Mizrach compass is designed to help you know in which direction Jewish people pray. Technically, it plots the location of the Kodesh Hakodashim (31° 46 40.8" N, 35° 14 7.44" E), which is near the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem. It then uses your current longitude, latitude plus the built in digital compass to point you in that direction. When you are in the vicinity of the right location, the word "Mizrach," which means east, will light up. You know you are getting close to pointing towards Mizrach when the blue arrow is facing the word Mizrach. Hold iPhone level to the ground. If the iPhone has a hard time figuring out the direction, move away from any magnetic interference and/or wave the iPhone in a figure eight. It is important to note that compass reliability may be affected by usage conditions such as nearby magnetic fields. The accuracy of digital compass headings may be negatively affected by magnetic or other environmental interference, including interference caused by the close proximity of the magnets contained in the iPhone earbuds. The digital compass should only be used for basic navigation assistance and should not be solely relied on to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction.

Great idea, but...

Anastasia Quensel · 13 years ago · v1.0.2

Great idea, but theres no compass in my app. Please fix that.

Not efficient

Noashir · 10 years ago · v1.0.2

The app is not clear to use. The only objective is to find our Jerusalem direction and the app is a guessing game.

Brilliant!

Awesome job! And done right -- combining the compass with the GPS data, so its really pointing you to "Davening Mizrach" (the Kodesh HaKedoshim), not just basic "Mizrach" East (which would have been useless when youre not west). EXCELLENT! Thanks!

Mizrach is a bit Rusty

The only blue arrow I get is when the ap first starts. Even when I know where East is I cant get it to do anything. Got a lot of interesting comments from friends watching me "wave in a figure 8" though.

pleasantly surprised

I was not sure if the Mizrach app would work on my new iPad. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it does! So, if you have any reservations about spending 99 cents on something that may not work; your worries are over! It works beautifully. Kol ha kvod to the creator of this awesome app.

This application did not work at all with my iPod Touch G3 on a perfectly functioning Wi-Fi connection. I invested my dollar in checking it out; others may wish to save theirs.
