  • Serves my needs perfectly

    I was initially hesitant to buy a second Tikkun program for my iPad because it was so expensive. But the other one didn't really look like the scroll. I bought this yesterday to work on Ekev. I am really pleased with it. It looks reasonable like the scroll and if I turn my iPad vertically I can see just one version and switch back and forth with the trop and nekudot. I don't need the audio files. I like that you can make it bigger if you need to. My actual Tikkun is very heavy and hard for me to hold to practice with. This is so much easier. Especially with the apparent demise of the Tikkun on the ScrollScraper site (which also printed the nekudot often unclearly), I needed something I could have with me. So I recommend it. Yasher koach! If there were a way to make it change the line endings randomly when you open it each time (so you don't get too dependent on the layout) it would be perfect, but that is a lot to ask.

  • One feature short of 5 stars

    App is great, but really needs a fast way to turn the taamim on and off. I think that a double-tap in the text would be a great fast way to go back and forth.
  • Excellent

    A wonderful app which I use frequently.
  • Don't let the price fool you- Buy this app!

    Great app! Easy to use and suitable for all ages. For the same price of a bulky old school tikkun you can have an app that brings the reading to life. Reliable and helpful with tools to prep for a bar mitzvah or weekly use for a veteran Baal Korei. If u need it buy it! Another great job by Rusty Brick.

  • One “little” thing

    Update: the devs listened and added קמץ קטן! As a tikun, it now has everything I need. My one suggestion is that a multifinger gesture to switch between the Torah side and "cheating" side would be nice.

    Heck, since this is digital now, why not do some cool, out-of-the-box stuff. How about a tap-and-hold interaction that would reveal a magnifying glass to peek at a specific word. Or maybe a way to turn off the trope and vowel layers separately. Or a way to repaginate/re-lineify/re-columnerize it as a way to test myself in case the actual Sefer Torah happens to be different.

    Also, since the iPhone is so much smaller (especially the non-retina 3GS), landscape mode should have a way to not show side-by-side. Again, a two-finger swipe to toggle views would work.

    Just some random thoughts. :) But seriously, this is a great app.

    Previous review: I just downloaded this, and so far it seems great. I really appreciate that it indicts שוא נע. My only complaint so far is that it doesn't also indicate קמץ קטן. But this will still be great for going over my leyning during my commute!

  • Great value!!

    Excellent app especially on the iPad. Great for practicing anywhere. Ability to record and playback very useful.

    As another reviewer mentioned already, a brand new tikkun (in super clear typeset) costs at least $25+ at any seforim store. You get the tikkun and ability to record and create bookmarks, make this a wonderful high tech sefer no Baal Koreh or bar mitzvah boy should be without.

  • Mplotsker

    Great app. Am using it to prep my son for his bar mitzvah and for me to brush up and learn new stuff.
    Author is very receptive to bug fixes and feature requests.
  • Very nicely done

    I just emailed a recording I made right from within the app for my bar mitzvah student! It was an easy and seamless process. Thanks for this clean and beautiful app!
  • Great app

    I love this app. Especially like the toggle feature (toggles instantly between chumash and torah sides), great for polishing up a leining at the final stages.
  • Worth every cent

    As a Baal koreh and a busy business owner I have found it hard to find time to prepare the kriah every week. I will some times prepare some of the kriah during slow times at the office. This tikun is easy to navigate and easy to read. I bought the full version. The price is cheaper then even a basic printed version. I highly recommend this tikun. I primarily use the iPad version.
