### 5/5 — Beautiful, accurate, and easy to use

*2020-06-09, version 2.0*

My kids actually like to use this app, and I don't have to worry about in-app purchases or anything. Controls are easy to use so they don't get frustrated, and the sound effects, voices, and background customizations are awesome! Great way to keep their learning fresh when Hebrew school is not in session.

### 3/5 — Where are the vowels?

*2018-10-26, version 2.0*

Disappointing that the app doesn’t include vowels.

### 5/5 — Very impressive and helpful app

*2017-03-02, version 2.0*

I tutor kids on their Hebrew and I am going to recommend they purchase this. (It's not bad for adults either!)

### 1/5 — No sound

*2016-10-24, version 1.2*

Part of the reason I bought this app is because it has pronunciation sounds. But it doesn't work in this app for me on the iPhone. I tap the mic icon and nothing happens. I checked the setting ls to make sure I had sound on and the volume is up but nothing is happening.

### 5/5 — Great for Sunday School

*2014-07-01, version 1.1*

My favorite learning Hebrew writing app! My five year old started Sunday School this year and used this well designed, child friendly app to learn how to write his letters. The app is engaging and keeps his attention. Our synagogue is planning to integrate the app in it's lessons. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great early learning app

*2013-11-19, version 1.0*

Just love the app. It is very addicting tool and my daughter really enjoys spending time on this educational app. Not only it's a great learning tool, but also it helps my child to practice writing. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great app for kids

*2013-11-18, version 1.0*

This is truly a great app for kids who wish to learn the Hebrew alphabet. It's easy to use and has attractive design. My four year old daughter loves playing with it . She specially likes the magic sound effect that plays every-time that she uses her finger to draw the letters. I definitely recommend this app. I hope they come up with more advanced versions for when my kid is ready to learn more . Love it!

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2013-11-08, version 1.0*

What a great app to refresh my memory. I 
Learned Hebrew when I was a kid, but when my wife asked me the names of the letters I had forgotten most. This app was well illustrated and simple to navigate. If you're looking for a basic refresher or looking for a fun way to start you're children on their way to learning the language, you can't miss.
