I enjoy this app!
There are not many people out there who would make a free option to view the entirety of a private collection such as this. I appreciate that this was developed. It is helpful to educate myself, a gentile, on Jewish scrolls very helpful to me!
I don’t get what you are getting at.
I downloaded this because it showed a very nice but damaged and incomplete Torah scroll from Lodz, and I had some relatives in the Lodz ghetto. It has some damage and repair and it’s apparently very old, and is missing some of it, but otherwise it looks like every other Torah scroll I’ve ever seen (it has nice spacing of the words, which makes it easier to read). But aside from it being old and from an important community it is not at all unusual. I understand that you aren’t Jewish. And maybe this makes it seem more unusual to you. But it’s like the rest. They are all handwritten the same way. This is a nice clear scribe with good spacing. The reproduction is very clear. I don’t understand all the read circles. There are customary ways of writing certain passages (poetic texts for example). Maybe you just want to show that to people who have never looked at a Torah scroll before.

Nice but some shortcomings
The content is great. The resolution of the images, however, sometimes makes it difficult to tell what the explanations are referring to. Also, when tapping on the "view scroll" button after reading an explanation, it generally takes 2 or 3 tries to get it to respond.
