Help!
Not working on ipad 1 since the update please help!
Beautifully Done
Unbelievable learning tool for kids and fun too!
Needs better recording too fast unclear
With all due respect, the Shema should be said clearly, not rushed, not with words blending together and all letters pronounced. (Do it over?)
The "girls" version is a little better, but again, it is very bad to learn improper pronunciation first - only to need to be re-taught with proper pronunciation later in addition to breaking the habits of saying words incorrectly.
Perhaps utilize children ( or grown ups ) that understand how to halachically say the Shema properly; especially since this is the only part of Jewish liturgy that absolutely must be said in Hebrew (first two lines). Ask any scholar or rabbi about this.
Better yet, have a rabbi or Torah scholar check the recording before releasing any updated soundtrack.
I hope this doesn't offend the kids or the parents of the kids, but this is serious stuff.
Nice to see the option to skip the brushing teeth and turning off the light etc. could make it more user friendly after the initial use of the app for continued use, since if a child will be using this night after night for a while, it may become tedious to get right to the business of saying Shema with needing to go through the other "cute" clutter.

Best app ever!!!
This makes our bed time! Thank You. What a beautiful way to remember your mother. May her memory continue for a blessing.
Love the app, but so loud!
There should be a way to turn off the sound so the kids can quietly recite Shema before drifting off to sleep. There are no settings to be found!
Love!!!
We love this app! It's teaching me and my daughter! Love love love!
good app
I enjoy this app but it keeps crashing after they brush their teeth. please fix.
Loving this app!
I thought this idea was really nice in honor of your mother/grandmother. It's so sweet that her grandkids recorded the shema. Me and my friends talk about how adorable this app is. Thank you for making me able to say shema anywhere I go! May her Neshamah have an Aliyah!!
Best app!!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful app. What a great idea to do in your mothers memory.
I use it every night to say ks al hamita and my 2 yr old daughter loves the interactive bit and the children's voices.
