### 1/5 — no vowel symbols.

*2017-01-05, version 1.6.2*

that's right, it is useless.

### 1/5 — Unfair

*2016-12-01, version 1.6.2*

I already purchased this and Speed Greek when they weren't free, and now I'm being asked to pay again to remove ads? I don't think so.

### 3/5 — Wrong Words

*2014-11-24*

I think the author or programmer needs to look closer at these words. Some are inaccurately defined. For example the pronouns she and they are wrong.

### 5/5 — Speed Hebrew

*2014-09-12*

Wow! Great way to learn with instant results. Too bad this app isn't available on droids. Thanks for this great tool.

### 3/5 — Good start but

*2014-01-25*

This could be a fantastic app for Biblical Hebrew students. Here are my suggestion to enhance this app.  1.  The word base seems good but NEEDS vowel markings.   2. The Hebrew word is too small.  Let us pick the size of the word.   3.  Give us the option to turn off the timer.   4.  It would be nice to have a dictionary that you could look up a word.  Nice start but needs some improvements to be really useful.
