### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-08-11*

Every time I try to pull up a verse the app crashes and takes me out. 
Will this ever work?

### 1/5 — Too many glitches

*2023-02-17*

I literally just brought the app an hour ago. It is awful. It glitches and shuts down constantly. I’ve been stuck on Isaiah 25 for 30 mins because The page doesn’t turn at all, it’ll freeze then Shut off. 

I wish I wouldn’t have wasted ten bucks because it’s a scam.

### 1/5 — Slowest app ever

*2022-10-30*

I want to use it, I really really want to use it as much as possible but due to a poor development everything in this app is soooo slow I can’t stand it. Even on the latest iOS it barely moves.

### 1/5 — It Worked Fine Until the Update

*2019-08-31*

I bought this app a few months ago, and I was so happy with it, that I raved about it to my Rabbi.  Since the update, it will not load and said that my purchase failed huh?!? I already bought it, please fix so I can give it the 5 stars it deserves.  Thanks

*****UPDATE*****

Fast forward to now. Now it won’t load at all. I sent an email to the developers a few days ago about the issue and haven't heard anything. I would like to either (a) have the issue fixed or (b)get a refund for this and the Artscroll Library I purchased as well. BTW 

I expect more from you, but maybe that's the problem. אתה צריך להתבייש בעצמכם שלא אגרוף את "אפליקציה ולא מגיב מעל שנה!

### 1/5 — Too slow to use

*2018-11-15*

App just doesn’t work. Very slow in loading and you can’t look things up well. If they fix this app, it could have a lot of potential but it’s not usable in its current state.

### 1/5 — font increase does not work on ipad

*2016-12-13*

could you fix it please?
