Pros and cons of Hebrew/Gregorian Calendar app for iPhone and iPad

Hebrew/Gregorian Calendar app good for

I like the simplicity of this app. I just need to keep up with the Hebrew calendar and know what dates are as they correlate with our calendar. It works.
I would ask though if there could be an update to disable the Shake feature, several times now Ive been working on a project & a slight bump has reset the calendar to the current day/month/year, when Ive been studying dates in the distant past & future. Getting back there is frustrating when you have to do it anytime you bump the phone or it goes dormant while writing. 4/5 stars.
Does not show Jewish holidays and important Shabos times Waste of time

Some bad moments

I wanted an app with a monthly view but this one doesnt do that despite the images in the description.
I just bought this app and it shuts down when I open app. Not happy. Want my money back.
