### 4/5 — Mostly Great

*2024-07-26, version 6.12*

The app works great for the most part. For some reason the downloads don’t work, though.

### 5/5 — Novice student

*2024-05-05*

I’m new at Talmud study but Rabbi Weiss is so engaging, clear, articulate, and easy to listen to, I hate to end my study sessions. I especially like Rabbi Weiss consistent and even toned voice, elucidating difficult subjects and debates. I highly recommend RCD for learning, whether new or experienced.

### 5/5 — Transformative

*2024-04-09, version 6.12*

### 5/5 — Beyond beautiful

Can not possibly express my gratitude for this beautiful app

The highlighting the lines blow me away

### 5/5 — Comprehensive

*2023-03-22*

The Real Clear Daf app by Rabbi Wise has been very helpful in my study and review of the Gemara. The app is well organized, comprehensive and has improved my understanding dramatically.

It’s great for when I’m on the go, in the car, or at home to review. Going through the Daf without much side stories helps keep my mind focused on the learning at hand.

I highly recommend this app to all levels of Talmud learners. Get started ASAP and let’s bring moshiach NOW !

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Amazing Magid Shiur and App

*2022-11-30, version 6.9*

It is such a pleasure to have such a user friendly app to help me learn Daf Yomi, literally at my finger tips!!

The Rav is clear and makes the concepts and discussions understandable. 

Thank you Rabbi Shmuel Wise!

### 5/5 — Real Clear Daf is phenomenal

*2022-06-28*

I've struggled learning Gemara. Baruch HaShem I found Clear Daf. I began Gemara Rosh Hashanah & got hooked. The shiurim are great & break down the Daf in a tangible way. The Rabbi's voice has four speeds & a yellow pointer to make following along easy.  The whole CHAS is available! I believe Real Clear Daf is great for beginners to Talmidchamim.

### 5/5 — Excellent very meaningful

*2022-02-18, version 6.5*

Many thanks
