The app is easy to navigate and use. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2024-04-03, version 1.15.3* Best daf Yomi shiur and greatest daf Yomi app. ### 5/5 — Best of the Best Daf Yomi Shiur *2024-04-03, version 1.15.3* Gevaldik! So much to be gained. !! ### 5/5 — Borning. NOT!!!!!! *2024-04-01, version 1.15.3* I get bored fairly quickly. I’ve been listening for over 2 years. Can’t get enough. This app changed the way I learn and review. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-04-01, version 1.15.3* Aside from R Srully’s amazing clarity which he conveys brilliantly, the Reid Bytes raise the participants learning experience to a new level. The sheer joy that R Srully radiates while learning is icing on the cake. Finally, the ability to search the Reid Bytes by so many different descriptors, Daf, title, parsha etc is really advanced to a Torah Website — kudos ### 5/5 — Geshmak *2024-03-31, version 1.15.3* The geshmak is just a click away!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2024-03-31, version 1.15.3* Thank you to the crew who make this app. Amazing and of course thank you to Rav Sruly for an amazing daily shuir! ### 5/5 — Amazing way to learn *2024-03-31, version 1.15.3* The app is super easy to use, and of course the legendary Sruly Bornstein’s delivery and content almost take away all the עמילות ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2024-02-19, version 1.15.3* The shiur by Sruly is tailored to the person who has a yeshiva background, but a person who hasn’t done that can still follow easily. The best part is that Sruly is constantly introducing and reviewing what the learning is. You can pick up at any point, because you will have had some introduction to a piece that is coming up or a review of what just happened. The Reid Bites are wonderful, letting you dive deep into areas that there wasn’t time to do during the daf. And the app itself is very user-friendly, more than any other that I have tried for listening to daf yomi. ### 5/5 — For Dovi *2024-01-10, version 1.15.3* A great clear easy Shiur ### 5/5 — Revived my cheishek to learn *2023-10-05, version 1.15.3* Easy to navigate to find any Daf in Shas, interesting and informative “tangents”, and loads quickly. Plus the Maggid shiur (and his occasional substitutes) give a top notch shiur. ### 5/5 — The Best. *2023-10-04, version 1.15.3* Clearest, broadest & deepest Shiur on the Daf, delivered by the best מגיד שיעור. And it’s all here on a spectacular mobile platform. ### 5/5 — Very well done *2023-10-04, version 1.15.3* The fantastic, insightful, clear, and high energy shiur itself doesn't need my haskama, given that thousands of people listen to it (and the reid bites are also fantastic.) But i did want to give a shout out to the app itself which is very well done. You can follow along the daf which is highlighted as it goes, you can download, the reid bite mareh mekomos/notes are slowly getting up there, there are links to related reid bites, you can search reid bites by topic (useful if you need to say a dvar torah or a speech). You can listen at faster speed (recommend shiur at 1.5x and reid bite at 1.75x or even 2x, sorry for ly impatience reb sruly ). You can also skip to any point on the daf by pressing on the place in the daf while you are viewing. Really well done and kudos to all involved. ### 5/5 — Needs organization *2023-10-04, version 1.15.3* Less than fair attempt at an organized app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Still not fixed *2026-09-02, version 1.15.3* Was excellent. Then mid-winter 5785 it started showing just a black screen. They told me they’re working on it, but still broken. Updated review in Winter 5786. Updated again late Elul 5786. Still not fixed. Sad. ### 1/5 — Still not fixed *2025-12-11, version 1.15.3* Was excellent. Then mid-winter 5785 it started showing just a black screen. They told me they’re working on it, but still broken. Updated review in Winter 5786. Still not fixed. Sad. ### 1/5 — Still not fixed *2025-03-26, version 1.15.3* Was excellent. Then mid-winter 5785 it started showing just a black screen. They told me they’re working on it, but still broken. Sad. ### 1/5 — App no longer works on iPad *2024-07-10, version 1.15.3* This WAS a great app. It has stopped working on my iPad. Have latest iOs and iPad 9th gen. Don’t know what’s wrong; developer still hasn’t fixed problem. Sad. ### 3/5 — Recommend it *2018-12-12, version 1.9.0* Very good and clear but doesn’t always have a recordings of every daf. ### 4/5 — Need to update *2024-06-05, version 1.15.3* The app is a fantastic way to learn and enjoy the daf Since the last update from the iOS, this app, unfortunately has not been working at all ### 4/5 — I have a hard time navigating on the app. *2021-11-21, version 1.12.1* I have a hard time navigating on the app. ### 4/5 — Rashi *2020-11-23, version 1.11.7* Absolutely fantastic shiur. I guess it would take longer if we include Rashi in the shiur. Shame can’t see audio after the live shiur on the app. ### 4/5 — Lakewood Daf Yomi *2020-05-25, version 1.11.7* I’m certainly the least knowledgeable follower. Even at the level that I am at, the shiurim are very helpful and inspiring. At first, when I saw that this is really an advanced level, I thought of quitting many times and finding something less intense; but what I’m getting is too wonderful to pass up. The tech has worked without a problem. ### 5/5 — MDY Chulin 63 *2026-07-01, version 1.15.3* Too hard to navigate. Hope he’s back in the saddle by the time he gets home!! ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Life changing/ Best of Both Worlds *2026-05-05, version 1.15.3* TYH!!! wow wow wow!!!! I’m not sure where I would be without this incredible, exciting, exceptionally invigorating app. Harav Reb Sruli is beyond years and our times in Torah. Every single Holy syllable that is taught, that is transferred over, that is transmitted is cultivated by an inspirational ignition of enthusiasm for internalization of the Holy Perfect Torah! Reb Sruli keep the listener cultivated and engaged on what it is to be uplifted and discovered through grasping and preservation of the Holy Perfect Torah. Th Imparted empowerment of each word is tantamount and can only be perceived to a fire whose flame only escalates as it burns. Thank you Reb Sruli may Hashem be the same way with you as you are to his Torah and may Reb Sruli and all Reb Sruli’s family and generations that follow only continue to dwell in the best of both worlds! Amen! ### 5/5 — Stuart Olshan *2026-03-31, version 1.15.3* Reb Sruly’s tremendous koach hasbara with his passion, geshmakeit, and clarity in all sugyos has literally changed my life and has made the daf come alive for me and many others. I can’t go a day without him. I owe him a trembdous hakaras hatov. He’s a one of a kind Maggid shiur and Marbitz Torah! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-03-17, version 1.15.3* Thank you to the developers!!
