Huge mistake to update ### 1/5 — Useless. Search is pathetic *2024-07-30* Unlike the website you can’t search the archives. Only what they think is current or you get a thousand hits with no way to refine E.g. try to find a specific Rabby on specific daf and tractate Touch and go on the site but here you can only go as far as all hits on the Rabby or on the tractate ### 1/5 — Would be a great app but it barely works on the phone *2020-10-19* The app freezes and doesn’t work well. So it’s completely worthless to use it on the phone. It works better on a computer ### 1/5 — Became unusable *2020-01-24* Upgrade is buggy. Crashes. Hard to search. Awful user experience. Bring back old version please. It worked. ### 1/5 — Ember *2020-01-09* Awful awful awful Gets worse with each update Great content but access is terrible ### 1/5 — Nach yomi *2020-01-01* New version is terrible and useless. I can’t get the player to play my selection most of the time. I don’t know what to do to make it go on to play my selection. Once in awhile it works. I will have to stop using it and use another source. I used the old version for years and it was easy to use. This new version is a disaster. ### 1/5 — Looks good works bad *2019-11-26* Certainly it is a good cause and we are grateful for the content availability. However, it’s much worse than the previous version. When one tries to download or make a playlist-they are deleted spontaneously. If one is listening to a lesson and is interrupted by another call to the same phone the app resumes with a double voice and that is the current lesson at its current positionAnd a restart of the same lesson ends so what one is hearing is 2 voices making it unintelligible. The workaround is to restart the app and bring it back to its original position in the playback. When one resumes a lesson-often it forgets where the previous position was. we will pray that these bugs will be fixed speedily in our days- amen ### 1/5 — Downgrade not Upgrade *2019-11-18* Where to start? Can’t delete my old downloaded shiurim. Can’t go to 1.5 speed. Only too slow regular pace or too fast. Can’t find what I am looking for. And the daf does not go back far enough. You assume I am keeping up to date and assuming I only want that misechta when I want to relisten to a previous one or go back about 30 days. Please bring back the old version it was user friendly ### 1/5 — Error Mesage *2019-11-17* There is an error message prompting me to restart the app every time I try to listen to it downloaded shiur. Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — Please fix! *2019-11-14* Can’t delete any downloads and is constantly crashing! But looks better... ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Daf *2019-01-29* Do you have שיעורים on whole ש״ס I am trying to get שיעורים on מסכת גיטין פרק המגרש don’t know how to search I am putting in gitin 82 to nothing comes up can you let me know how to search or if there is ### 3/5 — Picture in Picture not working *2026-08-07* This is an incredible app, amazing content! So grateful this exists!! However the new update no longer allows the audio to continue playing if the app is minimized. You have to keep the OU app open constantly for it to even work. Can we repair this, please? Thank you! ### 3/5 — Download needs improvement *2019-11-08* Looks nice but harder to search and filter. Also I get an error message every time I try to delete a downloaded file. ### 3/5 — Decent *2017-08-08* The good: 1. A large and well rounded selection. 2. Downloadable content. 3. Able to create playlists. The not so good: 1. If you leave the app for 2 minutes it restarts and you have to look for what you were listening to. 2. It won't continue playing after a phone call, which usually also means that you have to search for what you were listening to (as was pointed out above). 3. Should have a '30 second rewind' and a '30 second forward' button so there no need to try and scroll exactly a certain amount of time in either direction. 4. Sometimes it loses your place so it might restart 15 behind. ### 2/5 — I absolutely love this app *2023-03-10* I absolutely love this app but it freezes all the time and it shuts down right in the middle of a lesson. It definitely needs an update for bugs. A wish that it would stop freezing that I was able to listen to my old downloaded classes I wish that this app was more flawless please please please update this app for users. It’s a great concept and I have my friends who share my frustration. This would be an amazing way to keep up with torah learning if you didn’t spend and hour trying to re open and go back to what your listening to every five seconds. If i try to rewind something it shuts down and I can’t listen on my phone because the app automatically opens if I’m I go to your website so it’s a major frustration. ### 2/5 — I absolutely love this app *2022-11-22, version 3.4* I absolutely love this app but it freezes all the time and call shuts down right in the middle of a lesson. It definitely needs an update for bugs. A wish that it would stop freezing that I was able to listen to my old downloaded classes I wish that this app was more flawless please please please update this app for users. ### 2/5 — New Version Highly Buggy *2019-11-11* While the old version had some bugs. The new one doesn’t let me watch shuirm and has to “restart” when this happens. It also will only let me attempt to download some shuirim as videos, not as audio only. Hope these problems get fixed soon as I think if the developers push an update it should be better than the older version. P. S. I would have sent this review as a feedback. But there’s no option to do that on the new app. ### 2/5 — Still supported? *2019-08-26* This needs to be updated missing basic features every podcast service has, speed control, 30 second rewind , bookmark places etc. if not can you please post the content on apple podcasts etc ?
