Exactly.
There's no one word English definition for the word imfargin, but you're pretty accurate with your description.

First, we are allowed to ask questions about it, just like we ask questions about any other business (and yes, this is a business even if her name is part of the business). She is making money off of this so its no different than asking if a restaurant is good or if a clothing store has certain size clothings etc. No need to get upset about it.
Second, my understanding is that she just copied Malky Knopfler and may be taking business away from her. I wonder if Raizy asked a Rav if it was ok. And my question still stands on how this app is more kosher than any other social media platform given that frum women were told not to go on social media. I dont see why this cant be discussed just like anything else is discussed.
I wonder if you are really Raizy who is upset to see this thread so you are speaking out against it lol Wink

You're allowed to ask questions, yes. But the negativity, criticism, and outright lashon hora is just immature, jealousy, and imfargin.

I dont see any of that here, just people discussing a business which is what her brand is even if she puts her name on it. Not sure why some people perceive these discussions as negative, jealousy or immature when it comes to discussing a business. But if you dont want your business to be discussed then perhaps it could be on the banned list of things that we cant discuss on imamother just like another business (I wont mention the name of that business) that threatened to sue Yael because people were discussing it on imamother. Just let Yael know that you dont want your business discussed on instagram otherwise you have to be open to hearing both positive and negative reviews of your business.

Ive seen her watsapp status and think she is very geshikt and discusses real life topics however another thing that wont have me download her app is the fact that she makes life seem perfect, organized, always well dressed and spotless house ect. I dont find that relatable to most women.
I think people would appreciate realness, sharing real life struggles, imperfection, real honest daily living issues and stressors. If she somehow can include that with her life hacks and recipes she may have many more customers

But there's definitely lashon hora about her personally being spoken on this thread, that has nothing to do with her app. On imamother, people sometimes feel a need to put down others that are successful or creative. It stems from jealousy and not fargining.

Chassidim bashing at its best.
It’s not my type of thing either, but I can see why people would enjoy it.
It’s no different than various movies and shows where each genre talks to other people.

I highly doubt that the idea came from Malkys show since this is not a project that can come to fruition in days... she must have bee working on this for while before announcing it.
I dont have the app so I cannot be certain about this best part... but I believe that the difference between an app like that and social media is the SOCIAL part. An app is not an interaction as instagram presents. It's a merely a way to watch the content that one creator puts out.

Kol hakovod on her efforts to providing quality entertainment and inspiration to women.

This is the current trend in the world. Jewish and not. To make an app with content, videos, pdfs, recipes, articles etc.. no one copied anyone it’s the item of the times.

I signed up for the free trial and tho it does sound interesting, she sounds very commercialized on there. I dont think it would be worth it enough for me to spend $10 a month on it
somehow on her stories she can be more authentic

So now you've just admitted that you opened this thread solely to bash, on the pretext of wanting to get reviews before signing up.

I downloaded it and find it very interesting.
She has interviews with people, recipes, party ideas etc.
it’s basically $2.50 a week for an hour of entertainment.

Chasidishe ladies clearly have a need for entertainment and she is trying to fill that need in an appropriate way for them. If you don't like it don't pay for the service. I'm not, but I understand what she is trying to do and clearly people are interested. It's a more "kosher" form of entertainment and people want that. If you don't, move on.

Why? Do you know how an app is created? That it is basically a technical thing and you can hire someone to do it for you?

Do you know how many chassidishe women work in IT? Is that also wrong?

Do you think that typing is ok for a chassidishe women? If you think it is then why is typing more ok than creating an app?

Is it because it is new and you're afraid who knows where this will lead to and who knows what other women will do next?

I really want to know. I want to understand your way of thinking.
