### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-05-20, version 1.7*

Love the app. Used it on android for years, then repaid to have on my iPad. I do miss how android offered a dark mode, Little disappointed that wasn’t on the iPad version. 
Highly recommend to anyone that wants to get closer to HaShem

### 5/5 — Very Impressive!

*2023-02-16*

The biggest compliment I can give this app is that it feels like it was written by Apple! It is well crafted, smooth, quick (including search), and pretty to boot. Thank you!

Update: Great to have this updated - after 6 years of no updates. I’ve used it the last 6 years, wondering if it will eventually become obsolete and unusable by an iOS update. That would have been a pity because this app is so good. Happy that we’ll have this for another few years. Thanks for updating it!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent app.

*2023-02-12*

A very nice simple and clean app. for the reading of the Scriptures in Hebrew and Aramaic. Glad to see that you are continuing to update it!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2022-06-28*

A must have for any biblical scholar.

### 5/5 — Truly wonderful app!!!

*2022-03-16, version 1.6*

Love it. Very well designed, easy to use and very useful.

### 5/5 — Print button does crash

*2021-09-28*

When printing a chapter on 15.0 the application crash’s when you select the print button

### 4/5 — Very good

*2018-12-09*

Excellent.
Unfortunately does not include Haftorah portions related to weekly Parsha even though the relevant books are included.
Odd considering the Parshas and Aliya portions are delineated.
That why I deduct a star.

### 5/5 — Great Copy of the Tanach

*2018-09-25*

Hoping to one day make the move to Judaism and this is a great application to ready the Tanach on the go

### 1/5 — Not good enough

*2018-06-23*

Way too “simple”. 
In the search, I typed “genesis” and got the message that “genesis” was not found in Tanach. 
Not worth having it. I’m unloading it now.

### 5/5 — Great Tanakh app

*2018-03-17*

Great Tanakh app. Has the weekly Torah readings and a search feature. Excellent!
