  • Works Fine

    This review is limited as I use only the text related sections.

    In general it is a very useful tool. What follows are hopefully helpful suggestions.

    Would love it to be easier and consistent to select and copy Hebrew or English text even between its own segments (one example: word of the day into translator). I can't figure how the bookmarks are useful. The recently used list should filter out duplicate entries. Touching the audio spots often misses and hits the menu and bookmark spots, very annoying (how about moving them down to the text-box divider area?) The WOD translator doesn't always match the translator results.

  • Awesome app

    This is an excellent Hebrew app. One of the best features of this app is that it provides audio pronunciation of the Hebrew, which is not available is Google Translate. Also it provides a dictionary in addition to translation. I use this app every day for my studies. Only one suggestion for improvement: the app could be streamlined to reduce the number of keystrokes for navigation especially in the translator.

  • Not so great

    There are some of us who don't have a fluent background in Hebrew and never learned to read Hebrew without vowels. There's no way to set it so all words contain vowels. Once in a while a word or phrase here or there will have vowels but, of course, what I need to look up don't have vowels so I can't even attempt to pronounce the words And many are in cursive instead of print - also impossible for people who don't know Hebrew in cursive. The app also is glitchy trying to bookmark words and phrases and put them in any type of coherent list is impossible. I'm sorry I wasted money in this app because it isn't better than the free one. And the female voice that speaks the words is hard to understand and heavily accented. Again no help at all.

  • Disappointing, limited dictionary

    I didn't give the free version a proper examination and I almost immediately bought the full version of the app... Only to find that the interface is clunky and limited. When I searched for an English word, I got a list of Hebrew words, but only the first one has audio. There's a simple Text to Speech engine built into the dictionary, but it doesn't always work properly. All the extra features that come with the paid-for version aren't at all useful really. What would be far more useful would be a list of sample sentences with the word (or the same concept conveyed), each with audio as well if possible.

    I ended up buying DictBox Hebrew for £7/$10, which even though more expensive is a much slicker and more comprehensive product.

  • Pronunciation

    The Hebrew pronunciation is not proper Hebrew. It is English pronunciation. Example the letter T in Hebrew transliterated as TAV pronounced in proper Hebrew as Tuv (similar to Tough). The app pronunciation is TAV as in Tavern. This is incorrect.
  • Great app!

    I love this app it has so many great options to help you expand your vocabulary. I can only hope that they continue to improve upon this already great app.
  • Wonderful

    I so love practically every aspect of this app. Previous versions suffered from the fact that it included English pronunciation only and not Hebrew. Now with the optional extras (well worth paying for in my opinion) that has now been covered. The games, the search facility, the quotations – all are immensely useful and fun. I use it all the time.

  • Excellent

    This is a really great app-I learned the majority of my hebrew while I used it! It's a better dictionary than google.
  • Totally worthless

    The best feature of this app is that it links to Wiktionary, which is free on the internet. Totally worthless, a waste of $4
  • Very compressive, highly recommended

    Very handy and comprehensive app, good work, it just need more vocal "sound" assistance for pronunciation.
