Hebrew Nikud User Reviews

NOW BUILT INTO iOS

Apple now has this built in to the Hebrew Keyboard (don’t need this app), go to settings, general, keyboards, then click on the Hebrew keyboard and select the Niqqud option. Then a little selector will appear in the bottom-right of your keyboard when typing Hebrew.

It does the job

One keyboard specialized for nikuds, may be not the most convenient, but it does the job.

You can type in any application, it worth using it

Keys are too small, too expensive for the quality

The keys are too small compared to the default Hebrew keyboard which has Niqqud now

Does vowels nicely, but no maqqef

Installation was simple and it’s quite usable. Unlike the international keyboard, the method for inputting sin vs shin is exactly the same for other vowels (the international keyboard where you can hold down ש to enter) and similarly for other characters with dagesh fortes, there are no ‘shortcuts’ by holding characters down. But it works and the plus is that you can actually enter the vowels. Main niggle is that I couldn’t find any way to write a maqqef. Workaround is to switch to the international keyboard which has it as an option if you go to symbols and hold down hyphen.

No longer supported.

No longer supported! That was my answer when I asked a question. After buying it I used it on Pages and Navigator. On navigator the keyboard covers the entire screen keeping you from seeing what you type.

Very bad app

The keyboard proportion is so bad you can’t use it

Please add 3D Touch

The app is decent, but we could type the nikkud much more quickly if we could hold down the consonant and have the nikkud options pop up instead of navigating back and forth back and forth for each letter typed. For $5 it’s time for an update.

iOS 14

Great app . I use it all the time. New iOS 14 presents an issue the keyboard gets larger each time you open the keyboard in one sitting. Please fix soon - such a valuable app.

Doesn’t Work with Bluetooth Keyboards

To use this keyboard you have to use the onscreen virtual keyboard. It doesn’t work with my ZAGG keyboard case for my 2018 iPad Pro (the same body as the 2019-2020 iPad), so I assume it is not going to work with the keyboard cases for the 2019 or 2020 iPad Pro with the newer body either. The app hasn’t been updated on over a year, apparently since iOS 9. The developer doesn’t care about this product. Neither should you.

Does not support long touch or 3D touch, incredibly outdated and thus overpriced.

Scandalous that this app, for $5, 2-3x more than the going rate for such an app with no trial version, hasn't been updated in three years (as of 2019), and does not work with new phones (with 3D touch where a long press on a button brings up the nikud, while a hard press on the keyboard should allow scrolling cursor back and forth. Will update this review if these features are added to at least keep up with the "normal" iphone hebrew keyboard, which unfortunately has only a limited nikud functionality.

Masoretic points - תודה רבה

This is one of my favorite apps. It is easy to use and extremely useful. I have an urgent request. Can you please include a single chevron-type accent (<) that I can put over the letters to mark a single, simple accent? I recommend your app to all my friends. תודה רבה

Convenient, but...

Very convenient, however it is slow. Not as fast as the built in Hebrew keyboard for iPhone and tends to drag a bit.. Which is kind of annoying. But all in all a good app that made nikud input possible for me

Love it

This is very useful

Great app!

I have used this app for about a year, and it truly is fantastic. Congratulations to the team!

Allow me to give one suggestion for the future of the app. The new iPhones contain 3D Touch. It would be great if, by pressing harder on a letter, it brought up the nikud options, and then the user would release their finger on the vowel they wanted. That way, with one press, both letter and vowel are selected.

Great APP, But Need Improvement

This app helped me make flash cards on my iPhone easily with nikud, but need to add accent mark and other marks. That would be more helpful.

Pretty straightforward

The app does what it claims. The way it adds nikud is very different, however, from the Hebrew keyboard in programs like DavkaWriter, so it takes some getting used to.
