Perfect

Highly recommend it. Very easy to use with tikkun, translation, and singing.

Best Trope Resource of All Time

I used this app when I was brushing up on my Megillah reading last year and found it to be one of the most well executed apps I think I have ever used. The program looks beautiful, it includes a translation, The text is wonderfully curated, and allows you to easily turn the tikkun on and off for practice just like from a real book. Additionally, the audio recording is beautiful and the word being recited is highlighted, allowing someone who has never read megillah before to easily map the music onto the text. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Not as good as I hoped

While this app has all the technical bells and whistles I would like, the singer is difficult to learn from. This is because she is singing off key. Very hard to learn a melody from someone with pitch problems.

Very useful app

The JOFA Megillat Esther app is really easy to use and has helped me enormously to learn my chapter. The inclusion of the Tikkun version is excellent.

My only criticism is the tone of the woman's voice on the app. Although she is clear, a more tuneful voice would have been slightly more pleasant on the ear.

I would highly recommend this app to anyone thinking of learning to lein the Megillah

Great tool!

This App empowers students to learn and practice both the correct pronunciation and cantillation for Megillah.
The feature that allows you to play the sound of each word at the time allows you to self-correct without the frustration of being interrupted and corrected by someone else!
Thank you JOFA!!

No Sound!

I was looking forward to using this app but the sound doesn't work!
What a waste of time and money. Same as it is such a useful resource.

Fantastic resource for all levels!

This is a fantastic resource! It's so versatile.
I successfully used the app to brush up on perakim I had learned in the past as well as to learn a new chapter for this year. It was so easy to follow along with the reader, pause the recording and go back to tricky words.
There are also so many other wonderful resources for gabbaiot, people organizing Megillah readings and halakhic support.
I also can't wait to use the app to follow along during services on Purim--I just need to remember to keep the sound off...

Kol ha'kavod JOFA and thanks for creating such a wonderful and user-friendly product!
