Mobile App
JDate.com, which is responsible for more
Jewish marriages than all other online dat-
ing sites combined, has a new mobile app
designed for daters to use anytime, any-
where: JDate's JPix app.

offered by online dating sites, JPix has been
specifically designed to optimize the on-

send smiles or flirts, without having to be in
front of their desktops or notebooks.
The app is live and available for Android
devices via the Google Play Store and for
Apple devices in Apple's App Store.

New App Lets You
Step Into Virtual Kitchen
Let's Bake Challah!, the new app from
G-dcast, is the first preschool children's
app to offer a Jewish cultural experience
in a playful way. Mix challah, braid it,
bake it, decorate it, bless it and eat it —
all on a mobile device.
The app is also an experiential way
for children to learn how to bake and
to practice rituals like saying Hebrew
blessings over bread. The app is avail-
able for free at the iTunes app store:
appstore.com/LetsBakeChallah.
