  • Very good

    It’s a first time for me reading the Torah and this app is great for me as a beginner. I would however suggest that there is an option to play it in English and other languages perhaps also.
  • Thank you so much.

    I was Bar Mitzvah in 2022 at age 68. I have read Torah a few times since then, and it has been difficult. Several months ago a friend recommended Pocket Torah. Your app made all the difference. The recording and the ability to switch between the prayer book font with vowels and the script in the Torah scroll make preparation so much easier.

    On Giving Tuesday I donated to AJWS to pay it forward. You’re the best.

  • Please fix bugs!

    Pocket Torah is my most favorite app, I use it whenever I’m reading if I need to make sure I’m reading my trope right or anything else. But I have to close the app every 4 or 5 times I read a section or verse because the yellow highlight stops being in sync with the words being chanted. And then the pause button or back button don’t work either. You can only have so much time practicing before you have to reboot everything. It’s quite frustrating to have to close and reload the app every time, on top of having to re-find my portion. PLEASE fix the bugs!!!! But otherwise, a really great app.
