Nice!

It’s nice to have blessings at a whim. I was hoping for more prayers and with the Hebrew with vowels. I wish there was an option to change the speed of the voice. It does run kinda slow for me.

App does not work with lastest IOS - App close immediately again. Pls Update !! Thx

App close immediately again. Pls Update !! Thx

Lastest iOS on iphone6

Please fix this app.

I love this app. Now it always crashes. Please fix it. Thank you.

Not for this beginner

I agree this is a basic app, not question. As a beginner, though, I'd like to see the prayers with the transliteration for better learning. I also would like the option to hear phrases rather than choppy single words. This is great perhaps for others who learn differently, but has been less than helpful for this Hebrew neophyte.

Wonderful

Have this as a keychain as well. I don't leave the house without it and I use it!

This app doesn't address any combination of foods, and only foods by group -- not by name.
As someone pointed out, the pronunciation is strictly one form of "American" Ashkenazi; for example "Ha'oylem" as opposed to "Ha'olam" and the "raysh" shound is clearly pronounced like an American letter "R" and not the Hebrew letter raysh. Also, some examples aren't clear; for example why grapes (which grow on a vine) use Ha'etz, and tomatoes (which grow on a vine) use Ha'Adama.

looks promising

this app has good making for a translatorial pocket reference...
unfortunately it under delivers.. provide only limited blessings and does not give a full version of grace after meals, shema or modeh ani...
lift your game people... it could not be hard to add on to this to make it something worth downloading...

Basic

This will make me lazy

Great appearance, decent app.

I really appreciate this app's existence, and the interface is lovely. However, some of us just need quick reminders of blessings rather than every word. It would be really great if it had an option to hear the blessing in single words, chunks (ex: "Baruch atah Adonai *pause* Elohaynu melech ha olam *pause* etc.), or in their entirety. Would be happy to upgrade to five stars if it gets updated! Thanks for the lovely app.

The program is very basic, I was expecting information about berachot on items that are tricky like tortillas etc
Again this one is for real, real beginers

Thank you thank you!

I got this app as a person who rarely says blessings outside of bentsching likht and other shabbes basics. My Yiddish is much better than my Hebrew (I am a mostly non observant yiddishist) It is very hard to find Jewish learning materials that don't assume that you want to learn with the havara sephardit. This app makes me want to bless things all the time!

Heavy Accent warning

The developer should have mentioned that the audio pronunciation is Ashkenasi. For example, the reader says oylem, whereas in Israeli accent it would be olam. The Ashkenasi accent is so heavy it might confuse someone studying for conversion.

Cool but....

Need Asher yatzar on this thing please!

nützlich

ist natürlich nicht für jedermann interesant. aber für alle, die nach den jüdischen gesetzen leben sehr nützlich. find es sehr gut. und toll, das es noch leute mit brauner watte im kopf gibt! ;-)

Should be free

Waste of money

Awesome application!!!

Way to go!!! G-d bless you yid!!!

People calm down!! By Malibuprincesscoco

Ok this was catagorized under entertainment therefore it's not to be taken so serious I'm Jewish and find this hilarious I got it free tho

Further expansion needed

It’s a nice idea, but it would only be of use to me if it had the Sephardic pronunciation available as an option. Also, I'd prefer to have speech at a normal speed with a sincere sense of meaning rather than only words being slowly listed as if in a vocabulary test. As for the Shema, I think most people would already know the short part (couple of verses) that is included in this app—including Gentiles like me—but it is the rest of the Shema that I would need help with to complete fully as prescribed. I do appreciate the guidelines that have wisely been included to not repeat blessings when not needed at the moment in order to avoid the sacred name being used vainly, as well as not operating the iPhone on the Sabbath and other Holy Days.

Helpful & cute

It's out of respect the Jewish comunity does not put to words the name of g-d.

Keep these apps coming!!
