JTab

Less is more

No browser, no social media, no camera: JTab only does what it is made for. No need for power, but a large screen and lots of storage for the whole JTorah library.

It will include JTime, JMiniSiddour, JTorah and future JewishApp apps. Content will be updated with codes, in specialised shops.
