### 1/5 — Hebrew-Flash

*2026-03-28*

I used to love this app with just the Hebrew words flash cards. Then came the update the splash screen came up. wow it will now do all this! Great, but unfortunately I can’t get past the splash screen. please fix it. I’m looking forward to using all of the updates. Thank You

**Developer response:** I've been looking at this one; I cannot reproduce it directly. From your description, it sounds like maybe the next button is getting pushed off-screen. This would particularly be the case with a smaller screen. Among other things, I added the ability to "swipe down to finish" in there as well. Can you give me any other details? I'll be pushing a release here shortly. Thnx.

### 5/5 — Biblical Hebrew

*2025-09-25*

I’m fairly new to this app but so far it’s excellent! Love fact that no pop-ups, ads or requests for upgrades. Well done! 
The only change I’d suggest is to have a silent mode available so that flipping cards while reviewing could be silenced. Otherwise, I’m really enjoying! Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words!  The v1.1 update fixes one of the vocab sets (transliteration was off) and adjusts transliteration throughout to help new readers a bit more.  Next version (planning on late October) I will add a setting to turn off sounds and include where the accent is on each word in the vocab section.
