Worthless. חבל על הזמן. Just go in through Safari.

Amazing resource but very buggy

What Hebrewbooks has accomplished with their library is extraordinary, and the fact that they don't charge is really admirable. Unfortunately this app is not a good way to access their library. It is extremely buggy and prone to crashing, the search feature is not reliable, and minimizing the app actually closes it, deleting any downloads in progress. Hopefully the app will be updated with fixes to these problems.

Good, but needs more work

The collection is great. The interface is a bit clunky. Would've liked to see book size in MBs, not just number of pages. Would've liked to see a d/l progress bar with the option to cancel a d/l, as well.
Appears unable to do big d/ls, such as the ספר לקוטי מוהר״ן, with 300+ pages. It crashed out my iPod 8GB 2nd gen running iOS 4.1 bad, as I got the silver Apple screen for a minute or so before getting the "Enter Passcode" screen.
The program's search is a bit funky, too. I first viewed the חסידות offerings & there was no לקוטי מוהר״ן in sight. I did a search on it. First time, nothing came up. Did the search again & it came up with a "blank" לקוטי מוהר״ן, w/over 700+ pages. I finally did a search on ברסלב & I got other ברסלב ספרים, in addition to the "blank" לקוטי מוהר״ן, there was a "ספר לקוטי מוהר״ן", both which crashed my iPod bad.

Great resource, app has problems

Hebrewbooks.org is an amazing resource, but this app crashes constantly on my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.1), especially in the middle of downloading seforim.

Nu Nu

The only thing good about this app is the collection of seforim. The actual
App is clunky, buggy, and needs more options.
