  • Multiple tabs

    Still can’t believe this app is free… unbelievable resource!
    Just a request - it would be super convenient if there would be an option for keeping multiple tabs open in different sefarim, for those who have multiple limudim and want to switch between them easily.

  • Incredible resource

    I am so grateful for the depth and breadth of this library, and the ease of use and access to so many sources through the app. It has helped increase the level of meaning in my life.

    My only concern is I am unable to open the app since upgrading to an iPhone 14 pro with iOS 16.5.1. Unfortunately it crashes before opening.

  • Impressed

    I’m really impressed with work. Do you think it’s possible to get a kindle equivalent of the books. Not everyone is phone savvy.

  • Simply the best

    I cannot overstate how much I love having the Sefaria app on my phone. I used to always just use the website but I’m glad I finally took the plunge and got it on my phone too - I had no idea how handy it would be! I can look things up so easily. Plus having all the texts available without cell service or internet is a game-changer. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Jewish texts.

  • THE UI IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL UPGRADE FROM BEFORE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

    The UI is such an incredible upgrade from when this app first started out!!! Of course, there’s so much more room for modernizing and improving the user interface further; however, I want to commend the Sefaria team on their advancements of the app as a whole and of course their tremendous array of texts that are provided to anyone and everyone for FREE! G-d bless you.

    Thank you!
  • Bad update

    Love the app and website, and recommend it often. But the new (March 2023) mobile UI is *awful*. What was once clean & clear is now a wall of text with a ton of scrolling and no visual markers for where you are. Please bring the old look back! I didn’t even mind all the typos (in the Fox chumash) and display problems (cutting off end of Talmud paragraphs in portrait view) as long as it was easy to navigate. | Edit: Also, the “See all” link under Learning Schedules crashes the mobile app (tested on iPad and iPhone). Please fix soon!

    Thank you for your feedback. We take user reviews into consideration as we make future plans. For quick navigation, start to type any book name in the search box, and click on the name as it auto-completes. We have fixed the bug that causes the app to crash, which should be available soon in the next version (6.0.3).
  • Didn’t open…solved

    The app didn’t open on my iPhone ; after posting my original review, the developer reached out and suggested that I delete and reinstall it, which I did, solving the problem. 5 stars for both the amazing resources through this app as well as the responsiveness and helpfulness of the developer!

    In most cases, uninstalling and reinstalling the app solves the problem. If it still persists, please write to us at hello@sefaria.org and we'll look into it further.
  • The most important innovation to Jewish learning

    The importance of this app cannot be questioned. Never before have people had such access to Jewish wisdom. I do not know what I would do without it. It is unparalleled in its offerings and simply the most incredible resource.
  • Absolutely essential

    This is indeed the most valuable app/resource available on the Hebrew Scriptures. It’s pure manna from heaven. Thank you all for the hard work that it took/takes to keep this available to everyone. Baruch HaShem
  • What’s wrong lately?

    I’ve had this app for some time, used it a lot, but it’s been a couple of months now since I only get a loading spin and it never loads…. Hope u guys plan on fixing it soon.
