Great app. But it lacks some features
When you want to learn a language it has to be learned in a way as if you are speaking as a man or woman. This lacks that ability. However, it’s a good app.
Links don’t work
Please fix the problem with the links. You press on a word for retranslate and a complete different one appears. It could be a good app. Now I wasted the money because like this it’s useless :(
Does not play well with Duolingo
I am trying to learn Hebrew with Duolingo, and thought this would be a nice companion program. I could use the flash cards feature to help me review vocabulary, look up the roots of vocabulary words to help me understand them better, etc.
However, there are quite a few words that are just missing. For example, נשים, the Hebrew word for women is strangely absent. ״נשים מוכות״ (battered wives) is there. נשיות (feminine) is there, but not נשים.
These aren’t esoteric words, but common vocabulary words. Heck, by definition basic vocabulary words.
Other vocabulary words don’t seem to agree with Duolingo. I can’t say that Duolingo is the prime source of vocabulary meanings, but my wife who is a native Hebrew speaker tends to side with Duolingo when there is a dispute.
You use a language dictionary when you don’t know the language, and the dictionary has to be 100% trustworthy. Otherwise, you find yourself literally in a Monty Python sketch.

Love the paid version.
Very helpful with my other language studies. Thank you.
Wrong links
When I look up an English word in Hebrew correct translations come up but when the Hebrew word is tapped you are taken to a different word completely often a totally unrelated word. This does not happen with other apps by the same authors.
Easy to use!
I appreciate this app so much. It's very easy to use and to go at your own pace.
Nice program
This program is well worth its very low Price. Also, it is quite nice that you do not have to be online to use it.
In a similar vein, it is very fast to look up words. Much quicker than the online applications!
As someone mentioned earlier, it would be helpful to have the gender of nouns listed, and perhaps the plural form as well for nouns that are irregular, such as לילה.
Thanks for designing this application!

Great app
Perfect for beginners like me..this is only the beninging..I plan on going further in my learning of the Hebrew language
Chaplain oh
Why is no male voices, there is a different between male and female pronouncement of words. I would like to be able to hear male pronunciation at times. Would you try to add the male voice?
Great dictionary
Finally found one that does what I wanted it to do and does it well.
Easy to use
I use the program often. I do a lot of cut and paste which saves me a lot of time.
No sound :/
I purchased this to help with my Hebrew vocabulary and pronunciation because i am a beginner to the language, but the sound on the app isn’t functioning, which is pretty disappointing. I’ll still use it as a dictionary i guess
Excelente
Me encanta esta aplicación gracias
Some deficiencies noted
The first words I tried to look up were missing. “Oz, Oznim” only brought up “Vz” words. Back to Brown-Driver-Briggs for me!!! I’m sure though that there are many many many other words I will need to research or look up that will be present, hence the 4 stars.
Clear and Concise
Just staring to learn but app is very useful for me.
Excellent
Easy to use, and I use it often.
Very good app
This app is one of the best ways to learn Hebrew.If only they added נקודות for every word then it would be the best!!!! Please add נקודות,it really helps with pronouncing words.
Poorly equipped audio archive
I feel scammed. I bought this SPECIFICALLY for audio pronunciations, and all of the words that I've looked up so far have no audio translation. I want my money back.
Very useful
I only have one complaint about this app. The voice recording is so mechanical it is sometimes is really hard to understand. Other than that the dictionary is very useful and was worth what I paid for it.
Great app
Does what it says; the paid version is worth the small investment.
