Missing sound files

Pronunciation is a basic function of your app and P_Fey.mp3 is missing for both fey and fey sofit. Please fix.

Does not scramble

Not great. Another waste of money. The letters are in the same order every time. At least it has sound :(

Pretty good

A nice program for just learning the Hebrew letters. For what it is I would have given 5 stars but less than $2 and the interface isn't obvious for flipping the cards over. It took a few minutes to figure it out. (Tap the bottom right corner, don't swipe)

Not very helpful

There are no flip sides to the cards. You basically have no way of knowing if you got the answer right, yet it lets you grade yourself as you go through the cards which makes no sense.

You should be able to see the letter, say your answer and THEN click the letter to trigger the sound and word. This would confirm if you got it correct. Then the self grading feature would serve a purpose.

There are also no cursive forms of the letters to learn. Waddup with that?

A multiple choice feature would be cool too. Display 3 or 4 letters with one correct name as the answer. You could also do the reverse of that, showing 3 or 4 names with one correct letter to pick from as your answer. This would automatically calculate your score as well.

Add these simple and NECESSARY features and this app gets 5 stars. Please update!

Better

Better than many other apps for learning the Hebrew Alef bet. Flash card style is good and you can go back and review just the ones you got wrong

Yeah... It's alright

Just to reiterate some previous sentiments. The pronunciation is not great. Sounds like someone in their basement. Pretty comprehensive, but fairly limited usability after the first week of Hebrew. Maybe worth $ .99, still kind of up in the air about that. Would be a great free app.

Adequate

Pretty adequate app for learning Hebrew aleph-bet. The audio could use some improvement in quality. Since there is room for improvement I'll leave some room to increase the rating when improvements are made.

Lame

Pretty lame and disappointing app, basically only Hebrew alphabet letter and (heavy american accent) pronunciation. Not fit for children for lack of any fun features.

Wish there were more like it

I don't care about the colors or anything, I love this app, is a great addition to any iPhone

Letter "sav"?

You show a letter called "sav" in your app, never heard of it nor can I find it in any alphabet reference!

Okay; works

This is okay for what it is. Audible pronunciations are accessible after flipping the card over and pressing the play button. The process of flipping cards over gets a bit tedious, and the app leaves it up to you to determine whether you got each one right or wrong. The results are then tabulated and displayed, albeit not graphically or very prominently. The grey and white graphic theme is pretty boring. I'd like to see an app like this for vocabulary.
