No Download Options

Please add the option to download the entire Tanakh when connected to Wifi. I will change my review when this happens.

Separate download for every single chapter!

Why do I have to download every single chapter separately? This is a pain! Please return to a Full Tanaka download and I will change my review.

Fantastic!

Brings text alive. Reader has the right balance between Semitic pronunciation (distinguishing key phonemes) and “seminary”pronunciation. I can slow the recording if needed. I just tap unknown words to reveal meaning and parsing. Thank you to the developer!

Intro Screen only

The app is broken on both my iPad and iPhone the intro screen comes up and the “x” does nothing so I am locked into the intro screen only. Don’t get this app as it doesn’t even work.

Discrepancy

Daniel Chapter 4 is missing the first 3 verses. Nebuchadnezzar confession of God’s kingdom

Bad translation

The Tanakh does not translate כארי as “pierced” but the christian bible does.

Best tool I’ve seen for learning Biblical Hebrew

I’ve been a student of Hebrew for years on and off. I’ve been attending services and try to follow the text in the siddurs but struggled finding the Hebrew text in an easy to use app.

This will allow me to dive more deeply. Having the syncing is the perfect way to get the full effect. Thank you!

Has potential. Could use work

I really think this app has great potential. I am attempting to learn Hebrew in order to read the Tanakh in Hebrew, and I find this app helpful.

The following are things the developers could do to improve the app:

What I would love to see most is an option to make the text smaller so more fits on the screen.

Adding separation between verses, like maybe putting the start of each new verse on its own line would clean things up immensely. Currently, it’s all just mashed together.

It would also be awesome if they fix the quality of the recorded narration. The narrator himself is fine, but the recording of the narration is terrible quality and sounds like it was recorded in a fully tile room in the year 1900.

If the developer is reading this, I just want to say thank you for the app, keeping it up to date, and taking the time to read feedback.☺️

5 star

The app is very handy, never crash and have different settings. All for free no adds nothing. You can read or listen as you please.
It’s the word of G_D in the original language in your phone.

Feedback

Recently the app opens to a light green blank page.

Great Resource

I love this app, except that Israel is called Palestine and nowhere in Scripture is the land called that. Being the land where the Philistines lived doesn’t make the land “Palestine” and Adonai never called it that. This correction should be made in order for the information to be historically and Biblically accurate.

Word selection audio pronunciation

One addition that would take this app to the next level would be to enable word selection for pronunciation playback. For instance, press and hold on a selected word and audio would pronounce the selected word.

Cannot Access & See The Verses

It is not user friendly at all! For one thing, you cannot see the verses as you are reading. I tried accessing it but could not. If you want to repeat a verse, there is no way to go back unless you start from the very beginning of the chapter, if you could find that. I also don’t find Avraham’s voice to be pleasant to listen to.

Helpful hint

To get out of the tutorial, go to where it says" tap here". The X that is to the right side of the screen does not do anything.

A True Gift

Many apps claim to be historic or life changing. This app doesn't. But it is. My experience using this app every day for the past year is too personal, or ineffable to share here. But it has been real.
My deepest thanks and warmest appreciation to the developer(s). They did the good work.
P.S. I concur with other reviews that recommend adding a 10 second forward/back button.

BLESSED BE YAHWEH

This is a great tool when learning/studying Biblical Hebrew. It’s excellent to use listening as you read along in the Hebrew Bible.
The Hebrew word flip cards are a definite PLUS. The voice of the gentleman reading is clear. I would encourage all who truly are interested in Biblical Hebrew, to download this app.

May all involved in creating this wonderful tool be Blessed.

Excellent App!!

Absolutely love this app, it is what I have been looking for as I study and learn more Hebrew. It has improved my understanding of Hebrew and helped me pronounce words properly. Thank You!

I do have some requests or observations:
- Better Book, Chapter and Verse navigation options.
- The ability to select download options, e.g. a whole book, or the entire thing, not just a chapter at a time.
- The ability to navigate between different books and chapters, with the capability to continuously read to the next chapter and book. The current method is cumbersome.

Keep up the great work!
