### 2/5 — Ho hum

*2026-01-25, version 2.5.2*

Sounds like a robot voice

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2025-12-07, version 2.5.2*

Really useful

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2025-08-06*

Good concept but the Hebrew pronunciation is rough.  Each book must be paid for.  $1.99 doesn’t seem like much but times that by 39 books if you want the whole thing.  Maybe if the quality of speech were better, the app better executed, maybe it would be worth it but that’s not the case.

### 5/5 — Has features others don’t.

*2025-07-24*

This is the best app for learning Hebrew without a doubt. What sets this one apart is that you can tap on a word and it will say the word syllable by syllable plus give you the English translation, or you can choose you the option of continuous audio reading.  You can speed it up or slow it way down. I’ve never found a Hebrew Bible app where you can tap on a word and it will say only that word without it progressing. It’s perfect.

### 5/5 — Cool!

*2025-07-03, version 2.5.2*

Took me a moment to figure it out but I think I got it.  It would seem to me They have recorded every single sound possible (letter and diacritic/dots combo) and it plays each sound one sound one syllable at a time.   I’m a beginner of Hebrew (learned a little many years ago) and never wanted to forget it.  The dots/diacritics always confounded me but this app says it and shows it so I’m learning but they’ve made it sooo easy 

I prefer the way the Sephardic sounds it’s the most understandable and recognizable to me but I would have liked the modern Israeli too, which is what I learned ages ago.  I think they must be working on it or repairing it.  

It’s very cool if you care to improve your Hebrew AND do it with the word of G-d! 

Ps: Am Israel Chai and all my love and prayers from a Zionist christian in Canada! Yes there’s lots of us, were Zionist because we actually study Hebrew and read our bibles properly! 75% of our bible is 100% of your bible plus Brit Hadasha.  (Very Jewish book btw, starts with genealogy of Yeshua and it quotes tanakh hundreds of times, very cool.  Those groyper anti Zionist folks need prayer big time.  They are lost.  I’m trying to teach them without pushing them away. They are more stiff necked than Moshe’s Israelites (joke)!  
Would be best if we can simply show them that yeshua is a Zionist, as it the Brit hadasha, as is the Quran too as a matter of fact.  G-d bless Israel.

### 2/5 — Great Idea - Not Ready Yet

*2025-03-06*

This is exactly what I have been looking for.  Clear, easy to read text and pronunciation as well.  Unfortunately, the voices are extremely robotic making it hard to listen to.  Looking forward to seeing the next versions with better voices and variable speed.

### 5/5 — Very epic

*2024-08-19, version 2.5.0*

the voice sounds very hebrew and very human would recommend if you want to listen to the bible

### 5/5 — I’ve been looking for an app like this.

*2021-02-11, version 2.1.0*

Perfect tool for learning Hebrew.  It’s a great app.

### 5/5 — Bible Student

*2020-06-10*

Started with Free Version. Loved it. Works well and support is good. These people make the full Talmud as well and it actually talks and explains text in English. I’m a customer for all their stuff.

### 5/5 — Use this product if you are a serious scholar, educator, or student.

*2020-06-09*

This app is a very valuable tool and an important source to help you get an upper-hand success on any serous biblical reading and deeper research in Hebrew Bible.  It provides you a word-to-word pronunciation, translation, and three different kinds of dialects to   your personal needs.   Other than that, their technical help is instant, excellent, and result-oriented, therefore, it provides you a peace of mind, assurance, and confidence to use this app, you could rarely find this kind of product with such high quality and excellent after-sale services on the current market.  Therefore, I highly recommend folks to try it.    E.H.
