Thanks so much for the suggestion. Hebcal.com does not have an official Android app. There is an app on the Google Play Store that uses the Hebcal name and is unaffiliated with Hebcal.com
Although we do not currently have any plans to make an official Android app, you can export Hebcal calendar events to Goggle Calendar and then your Android device will see the events.
Thanks for your question.
For Matot-Masei 5785, here are the Haftarah:
Haftarah for Ashkenazim*: Jeremiah 2:4-28, 3:4 · 26 p’sukim
*Matot-Masei on Shabbat Rosh Chodesh
Haftarah for Sephardim*: Jeremiah 2:4-28, 4:1-2; Isaiah 66:1, 66:23 · 29 p’sukim
*Matot-Masei on Shabbat Rosh Chodesh
This is the case in general when a special haftarah supercedes another special haftarah. Sephardim add the first and last verse of the superceded haftarah. Ashkenazim generally do not.
there are some Ashkenazim who follow this practice as well, but the prevalent Ashknezic practice is not to add these verses. This is the opinion of Rabbi Joel Roth, who is the posek for the Rabbi Miles Cohen Luah. In general the Hebcal website accords with the Ashkenazic traditions explained by these experts.
Pesach Sheni occurs every year on 14 Iyar (not 15 Iyar). This is exactly one month after 14 Nisan, the day before Passover, which was the day prescribed for bringing the Korban Pesach ("Paschal offering", i.e. Passover lamb) in anticipation of that holiday.
in other words, our dates for Pesach Sheni are correct. We are sorry if there is any confusion. We do not list Erev Pesach Sheni on the website
Because YK is a major holiday and not a minor fast, we treat it the same as other major holidays. To find fast start and end times, use the Candle lighting event that corresponds to Erev Yom Kippur, and the Havdalah event immediately following Yom Kippur

Thanks again. We have added the schedule to Hebcal.com, you'll find it here:
Thank you for the suggestion! We will look into adding this daily learning calendar.

Thank you for your question!
Hebcal.com defaults to Sephardic transliterations for Jewish calendar event titles. You can also change the language to Ashkenazic transliterations.
one of these two options is probably what you want if you are looking for “English” language settings on Hebcal.
