Love using this app. Shnayim is a beautifully designed app that has helped me significantly in keeping up with my Shnayim Mikra. One request: I wish there was a way to view the Targum by itself (without the Hebrew). Often I’ll do the Hebrew twice and then proceed to do the Aramaic. When you enable Targum however, the Hebrew is still present and the app only shows a couple of verses per scroll. Having a “Targum only” option would be super helpful 👍 ### 5/5 — Shenayim *2023-07-04* Fantastic App 👍 Great features ! Thank you so much 😊🙏 ### 5/5 — Excellent and simple app *2023-04-16, version 2.3.0* Exactly what I needed for tracking Shnayim Mikra progress. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-10-27, version 2.2.5* Best shnayim mikra app I’ve come across ### 5/5 — Essential *2022-10-24, version 2.2.5* As a very busy person with a 12 hour work schedule I find that this app helps me stay on top of my obligations in this particular area of learning. It is super convenient and anyone that wants to complete Shnayim mikrah weekly should definitely get this app. Tizku l’Mitzvos! ### 5/5 — Hard to access features *2022-03-22, version 2.2.5* Thank you for showing me how to access those features Thank you! Really helpful and professionally made app! A real work of art :) ### 5/5 — Time saver *2022-01-20, version 2.2.5* This app helps me finish weekly Shnayim, it’s an amazing app, clear and easy to use I have asked the developer to make several changes and updates, he replied on a timely manner and made all of the updates I asked! He is here to give away of his time and keeps making updates You an awesome person, it should be for your Zechus all the people that are able to finish Shnayim because of you Keep up your great work ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-01-12, version 2.2.4* Impressive in every way ### 4/5 — Nice! Needs internet-less options though *2022-01-11, version 2.2.4* Great app. Should allow internet-less use, or the ability to download parshiot (for travel on flights, etc.). ### 5/5 — A great help *2021-11-18* It’s wonderful to see how much progress has been made in adding more quality of life features. Keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Hey there! 👋 Thanks for taking the time to write. These ideas are amazing. Hope to have them implemented soon. 👍 ### 5/5 — Version 2 *2021-11-08, version 2.2.3* Version 2.0 is great! Impressive to see such a polished and modern update ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Begging and end *2019-01-03, version 1.0* You can’t tell where the pasuk ends and onkelos starts. Also it would be easier showing what pasuk it is as well as having the pasuk twice followed by the to have the pasuk twice followed by the Targum. ### 2/5 — No English Targum? *2023-01-15, version 2.2.5* Is the English translation a translation of Targum onkelos? Otherwise, the app isn’t really that helpful to me. Please answer. ### 3/5 — Gamification? *2025-09-03, version 2.4.0* Certify it done at the end then auto scroll up ### 3/5 — Great App, but Rashi is missing! *2018-12-06, version 1.0* If this app had rashi it would be perfect. ### 4/5 — Where’s the Next button? *2026-02-03* I love the app. It has a lot of great features and I like how customizable everything is. I feel like there should be a next button at the end of every Aliyah. It gets very annoying when you’re done and then you have to go back and manually click on the next one. It would easier if there was a next button. **Developer response:** Thanks! Next button is now available in the latest release! Please write to support@shnayim.app if there's anything else you'd like to see added. :) ### 4/5 — Overall great app *2025-12-31, version 2.4.0* Amazing app, but charging a monthly fee for a basic feature like daily reminders; especially in a paid app is hard to understand . And paying extra for AI summaries, these parshas have existed forever. Summarize them once and be done. Other than that, a great app. Keep up the good work! ### 4/5 — English *2023-10-19, version 2.3.2* Great app. There should be an option for normal English like ArtScroll translation. Not Shakespeare English. Thanks ### 4/5 — Revised *2023-03-23, version 2.3.0* I had a hard time finding rashi but the developer pointed out how to do it. Suggest making it more intuitive ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2023-01-01, version 2.2.5* Shnayim is a beautifully designed app that has helped me significantly in keeping up with my Shnayim Mikra. One request: I wish there was a way to view the Targum by itself (without the Hebrew). Often I’ll do the Hebrew twice and then proceed to do the Aramaic. When you enable Targum however, the Hebrew is still present and the app only shows a couple of verses per scroll. Having a “Targum only” option would be super helpful 👍 ### 4/5 — Need haftorah *2022-05-20, version 2.2.5* I would’ve given it five stars, but it doesn’t have the haftorah :/ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One small thing *2026-08-14, version 2.4.6* I love the app. It has a lot of great features and I like how customizable everything is. Would it be possible to put the count of psukim for an Aliyah at the top of the Aliyah? I believe it only at the bottom right now and would love to see it before I start reading. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-01-07, version 2.4.0* Great format amazing job ### 5/5 — Brilliant I use it every day thanks to the developer *2025-10-20, version 2.4.0* Brilliant I use it every day thanks to the developer ### 5/5 — Clear and Clean App *2025-10-17, version 2.4.0* Nicely done, clear to read and gets the jobs done BH. ### 5/5 — Longer life easily obtained here! *2025-09-28* Consistency promotor! Beware, once you use this app you will no longer have an excuse for not keeping up and not understanding what you’re saying. Shnayim Mikra Gives you longer life. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-01-13, version 2.4.0* The best shnayim mikra app I have used. I love that I can learn the Hebrew and Targum and English on one page. The Rashi in English would be amazing as well. ### 5/5 — Off line *2024-11-06, version 2.3.3* Any way to get off-line mode on here? Downloaded this app for use on the plane. ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2024-07-04* Just miss French … ´Hazak ou Baroukh ### 5/5 — Very good! *2024-05-29* Very good simple easy to use Shnayim mikrah app ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2023-10-06, version 2.3.2* This app is fantastic and very useful, recommend for everyone to use! I found a small bug and it took only one day to get resolved after I contacted support! Amazing app!
