able to you at any time. It's particularly
handy to have it together with your
calendar, so that you can make sure to
avoid conflicts with Jewish holidays
when you are scheduling meetings or
other events. It's also very helpful to
know the Shabbat and holiday candle-
lighting time when scheduling events
in your calendar.
Q: Besides observant Jews, who
else uses Luach?
Hirsch: Many Jews who are not
Orthodox still observe Shabbat and
Jewish holidays in their own ways.
These people want to know when the
Jewish holidays occur. It's still universal
to celebrate yahrzeits (anniversary of
a death), based on the Jewish date.
It's also very useful to figure out the
date for a bar mitzvah and determine
the Torah portion that is read for that
Shabbat.

Q: What are some highlights in the
iOS version?
Hirsch: Different people find differ-
ent features as highlights. For me, the
most convenient thing is being able to
see what time candlelighting is for the
upcoming Shabbat. That's right there
on the home screen of Luach as soon
as I open it. I also like that I can view
events from the regular iPhone calen-
dar from within Luach, and I can cre-
ate new events in the iPhone calendar
from within Luach. This eliminates the
need to switch back and forth between
Luach and the calendar when planning
an event or meeting that needs to take
into account the Jewish holidays or
Shabbat time.
Luach has the ability to be config-
ured for the specific customs of each
user. It's also really easy to find out
candlelighting times for any city, any-
where in the world. This is great for

business trips and vacations. Keeping
track of yahrzeits is also very impor-
tant.
Q: What features are you most proud
of and how will they be used?
Hirsch: The original Palm version
was very well liked. I used the foun-
dations of the Palm application but
adapted it to the iPhone environment.
This included taking advantage of the
larger, high-resolution screen to show
more information on the home screen.
In addition, I took advantage of the
swiping ability on the iPhone to make
it easy to get information for differ-
ent dates and different cities. I took
advantage of the iPhone's GPS and
Internet connectivity to allow users to
get candlelighting times for their cur-
rent location, or to automatically find
the longitude and latitude for any city
in the world.
Q: Will there be an Android version?
Hirsch: That depends a lot on the
success of the iOS version. A lot of
time was spent developing the iOS
version. I have had a lot of requests
for an Android version, and I'd love to
do one, but this is also my livelihood.
Those who had Luach on their Palm
organizers paid $25 for Luach, or more
if they added Hebrew. On the iPhone,
I'm charging $3.99 (and Apple takes 30
percent of that). This is a niche market,
and I need a pretty significant volume
of sales in order to recoup the develop-
ment costs. If I see that I have a good
sales volume, I'll seriously consider an
Android version.
Q: What are some of the Halachic
issues you faced in creating this app?
Hirsch: You could write a whole
article on this subject. The main issues
