Don’t hesitate, it’s rad

Outstanding functionality. Allows me to select the chapters I want to focus on and filter out the high-frequency words from my flashcards. “Learns” from my performance and adapts to get me the repetition needed.

Very helpful

The app is very helpful for developing vocabulary chapter by chapter in the New Testament

Amazing vocabulary learning and review app

The learning mode is ideal for picking up new vocabulary: just specify the text and chapter(s) you want to focus on, and it introduces the words to you in small batches, only adding more once you’re confident with what’s come before. Then the review (slide show) mode is great for reviewing for a quiz, or — in my case right now — an upcoming final. We’re using Basic Biblical Hebrew Grammar (3rd edition) by Practico and Van Pelt; there is maybe a 10% discrepancy between the words in the book and the words offered in the app for the corresponding chapter(s), but any missing words are quickly picked up from a final check of the text.

Add on pricing not disclosed upfront

Buy the app , then to unlock more features you need to pay again. I’d prefer the pricing be higher upfront for all features. The experience would be more trust building.

Overall great but could be excellent!

The app does what it claims and so much more. I give it 4.5 stars but could be 5 if the developers could: 1. Update Mounce BBG to 4 ed. 2. If there was someway for the audio to not autoplay when the word comes up but instead allow the student time to read the word and then select to hear pronunciation. Right now it’s either “on/off” for the entire app.

Excellent but could be better

This is by far the best app I have seen so far BUT it would be greater to have the pronunciation of the Hebrew but moreover to put in an answer (written or speaking) and it then mark if you got it right or wrong. But I realise that’s a whole another level of programming.

I do love the app - it has all the words of scripture in one place.

Be be great if they also included “The Biblical Hebrew’ teachings of Lily Kahn.

Over charge

Charged twice for two identical app and twice for two identical in app purchases…Apple won’t refund…beware of huge over charges….

Good for Greek, Hebrew has misspellings

While paper notecards truly are the best for memorization, I have used this app on and off for Greek with benefit. I just began a review of Hebrew and I noticed today that the app contains numerous misspellings of Hebrew words. For example Yahweh was spelled as Jehovah (YHWH consonants with vowels of Adonai), Jerusalem is missing a vowel, mar (water) is misspelled. This was after only looking at two chapters of vocab from one textbook. Definitely using ONLY paper notecards for my Hebrew review. This was a surprising and unfortunate finding. I cannot recommend this for Hebrew vocab.

Heads Up

***This is to let others know before they download. I have no mal intention.***
One can access almost nothing without paying. Everything a selected resulted in a message that I had “not yet unlocked” the feature. I realize that apps take money to create and keep running. The features offered are amazing study tools! This is to let others know before they download.

Great for vocab, audio doesn’t work

I paid the audio package and it’s never worked.

Wow!

This is really a great app to learn vocabulary!

Lacks sync capability

Great app, but I do not see an option to sync between different devices

Great, just some errors

This app is a big help when studying Greek and Hebrew. I notice, however, some issues with some Hebrew words. I use the Miles/Van Pelt 3rd edition BBH textbook. Some words in the textbook are missing in the app and sometimes the vowel pointing is just incorrect. Other than those issues, this works out very well.

Absolutely Fantastic with one Request

This app is without a doubt the most comprehensive and efficient way of learning your Bible vocab. I have one request that would make it amazing. If all the Hebrew also contained the audio this app would be top of the line.

The best app for NT Greek. Period.

I really love this app. The use of spaced repetition makes it a very efficient way to study. The only con I can think of is that it doesn’t include the article and genitive with all of the nouns like the Flash Greek app, which is the way I prefer to learn. It does include these items when it is a third declension noun, however. I tried to email the developer, but the email support email address doesn’t work. Any help?

Don't waste your time

This app starts with a blank screen, leaving absolutely no idea as to how to use it. Every time you try to do something, it asks for money. How about providing a free app that lets you try it out before having to purchase something?

Very Helpful - Needs Minor Improvements

I love this app. I learned Greek in Seminary 20 years ago but didn’t use it consistently. Now ai mark the passage the pastor is teaching on and try to learn the new vocabulary and translate it before I go to Church. Its really helps me to have a goal and purpose to study for.

I wish there was a way to be able to scroll through the different definition options for each word and tag it to a personal dictionary. Its hard to know which base dictionary to puck an inevitably some definitions will click better than others but its not consistent with any one dictionary. It would also be really helpful if you could edit your personal dictionary to help it be more memorable. To me word order matters and I often want to get rid of some of the more wordy and awkwardly worded definitions. The goal is to be able to remember them so form really matters to me.

Skip it

Keeps begging for money before you can even do anything.

Needs syncing

I love this app. I use it on my iPad every day. But there’s no easy way to sync with my phone, which is frustrating. There’s not even a “Restore Purchases” option, just the option to email a backup. If the developers fixed that, it would easily be 5 stars.

Total Ripoff

I paid for it to give me audible pronunciations and it did it for ONE word. Still noted I had purchased it all, but stopped offering the ability to listen to ANY Greek words. What a waste of money. I was excited, but it appears to be a bait and switch.
