The app speaks the word or phrase and you choose the correct translation. I used to live in Israel and I am using the app to refresh my vocabulary. Sometimes the spoken words do not match the supplied translation. The game could use some editing. ### 5/5 — The Best *2015-11-05, version 5.3.10* this is the best one. It shows you your error. And breaks down all these explanations. I'm going to stick with this one. ### 5/5 — Hebrew *2015-10-16, version 5.3.10* So far great, very happy. ### 5/5 — Awesome!

Force closes every time I open and nobody will get back to me when I hit “contact us”. I have all the updates on Apple and all the updates on Ma Kore... someone help! I need to practice!! 😭 ### 1/5 — Inaccessible App *2020-07-12, version 5.7* Would be a good app but does not meet basic accessibility standards. You have white letters on a white background!! Surely you’re not stupid. This needs to be fixed. One star until it gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Learn Hebrew *2016-05-29, version 5.3.10* This App doesn't work anymore on my iPhone anymore.. ### 1/5 — Oy Vey! *2014-01-24, version 5.0.5* The app doesn't teach very much. Its mostly just quizzes, and for some lessons u cant even do because u need to pay ten bucks for a special pass ### 2/5 — NOT for those who plan on traveling *2018-04-18, version 5.5.2* It figures, the only reason I got the app was because I wanted to learn some travel phrases, but those require in app purchases. ### 2/5 — Concerned with accuracy *2015-11-12, version 5.3.10* Are you sure you proofread this? ### 2/5 — Initial look not encouraging *2013-04-18, version 4.2.4* After a very quick look I noticed that some of the Hebrew spelling and transliteration is incorrect. Eg bebakasha instead of bevakasha. Doesn't encourage me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Surprisingly good *2025-10-20, version 5.9* I tried so many flash card and learning apps this one is surprisingly good.
