About Jewish Clock APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Jewish Clock is a 24 hour clock which attempts to visualize the concepts of the clock that is used in Jewish law: Shaot Zmaniyot (or Zmanim).The basic idea is that certain daily deadlines were defined as portions of the day. For example, according to Jewish law, the latest time one can pray the morning prayer, Shacharit, is when a third of the day passed, or in other words, 4 out of the 12 hours of the day have passed.
The modern way of using charts which translate the laws defined by Shaot Zmaniyot into our familiar clock, are not needed anymore when using this clock. Shacharit deadline is alway at 4. Shabbat, or any new day for that matter, always start at 12.
In particular, the clock divides the day, starting at sunrise, and ending at sunset, into 12 equal parts, which are each called one day hour. The night is divided in the same manner.
An important observation is that day lengths keep on changing, as do the lengths of the nights. In the summer the days are longer, and they leave much less for the night, and in the winter vice versa.
A non trivial way of showing the fact that we have more day time during the summer, is showing the time moving slower during summer days! the clock ticks the same number of times as usual: 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 12 hours a day. But those seconds are longer! So the clock ticks slower.
Location. Sunrise and sunset are strongly tied to ones location. That's why Jewish Clock needs to know the device's location before showing the time. In a device with no location capabilities, Jewish Clock can not function.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
