### 5/5 — RabbiM

*2017-09-20, version 1.5*

What a great app! Easy to use, functional, perfect for what I need it for, daily study! And the new update for iOS 11 is more streamlined than ever! Keep up the great work

### 5/5 — Will not work on future version of IOS

*2017-03-28, version 1.4*

Please update as this version will not work on future versions of iOS

### 1/5 — Restore purchase

*2014-10-20, version 1.4*

Got the app on iPad and paid to upgrade to English, however now I'm on an iPod, there's no way to restore the purchase. Please sort it out. I shouldn't have to pay again considering I've already paid.

***

Months later and still no update? Ganuvim.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-01-31, version 1.4*

Great app, simple to navigate, and great customer service.

### 1/5 — English cost extra? What?

*2014-01-17, version 1.4*

I found this misleading in that I paid $14.99 for what I thought was both Hebrew with English translation.  Turns out you have to pay an extra $9.99 for the English translation!  It's cheaper to buy the physical paper book!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-05-30, version 1.3.7*

Enjoy this very much. Only suggestion would be an inter or linear option for English/Hebrew

### 1/5 — Disappointed/misleading

*2012-10-18, version 1.3.7*

On the $14.99 app description it shows English then once you purchase the app you need to pay another $9.99 for English. Very misleading!!!

### 2/5 — English Dissapeared!!!

*2012-01-16, version 1.3.7*

I loverr this app, but my English translation (which I paid $10 for) dissapeared. Please fix

### 5/5 — Great thing

*2012-01-05, version 1.3.7*

Great opportunity to get a Halacha a day.

### 1/5 — Felt ripped off

*2011-11-29, version 1.3.7*

Scrolled down to see the preview which shows English translation. After buying the app, guess what, English is another 10 bucks. 
Don't show it if it's not included!
