User reviews

Full of errors

DO NOT USE this app to study Yiddish. The Yiddish-language content — folktales and jokes — is unintelligible, and the text-to-speech is equally so (plus, it uses a disrespectful voice clone of Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman z”l). Almost all content is obviously AI generated and inaccurate to the degree that it would actively hinder users trying to learn the Yiddish language. נישט קיין מזל דא.

Response from developer

Hi Bracha. We have removed the voice from the app and are working with the Yiddish community on finding a new narrator and improving content overtime - I am a solo developer and pronunciations will improve overtime once a good Yiddish narrator is in the app 🙂

Great app!

I love being able to find so much information in one place…. History, recipes, stories and more!

I enjoy the proverbs and sayings and hearing the Yiddish translations. Most of which I have not heard since I was a kid
