Really need more words as well please otherwise I do like the app ### 3/5 — Nice, but needs a little more *2020-05-22, version 4.0.0* This is a fun app, but for those of us who know very little Yiddish, having an audible pronunciation of the word would make it so much easier to learn. ### 3/5 — Good for a novice *2020-04-29, version 4.0.0* It’s not exactly comprehensive, but not bad for someone who just wants to acquaint themself with Yiddish. ### 2/5 — Yiddish Slang *2019-09-01, version 4.0.0* Was sooo excited to download. Started quiz, answered question correctly, tried to “tap” to advance to the next word but will not let me. I have to close down app and re-open to get to the next word. When this is fixed, I will definitely give 5 stars. Fun to play with a group. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2017-03-17, version 2.2* A disappointment. Glad I only wasted $.99. ### 1/5 — A waste of 99 cents *2016-02-14, version 2.2* This is a VERY small dictionary of perhaps 30 or so common Yiddish slang words commonly heard when growing up in a Jewish home. No new words to anyone. Very poor, some antiquated definitions. Not even an example used in a sentence. YOU ALREADY KNOW these words if you grew up in a Jewish home, nothing new here. Give the app to your goyim friends who don't know. For us, 99 cents down the drain ### 2/5 — Could be better *2016-02-04, version 2.2* Lots of words should be added. Add useful words like Shiva. Don't need to define universal words like Bagel. Add pronunciations. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2015-02-10, version 2.2* Really a short list. Unclear where definitions are from, and not completely accurate. Great idea. Fell short of expectations. ### 2/5 — Not all Jewish apps are created alike *2015-01-08, version 2.2* Crashes when opening every time. Oye Vey! ### 1/5 — Rigged to Demand More Money *2014-07-29, version 2.2* App keeps asking if I want to purchase, wants to charge to American Express Card. App will not function until/unless I agree to additional charge and provide AmEx number. ### 1/5 — Very Disappointing *2013-12-16, version 2.2* The app only features a few words, many of which the general public already knows. I can't believe I just paid a dollar to learn what a bagel is. ### 3/5 — Fun but needs work *2013-08-05, version 2.2* Lack of pronunciation is a major gap. Parts of speech is standard in a dictionary but missing here. Nice idea but needs work. ### 1/5 — paltry *2013-06-02, version 2.2* A half-assed app if there ever was one. The "dictionary" only has a handful of words, a pretty paltry offering indeed when you consider the richness and variation of Yiddish/Yiddish slang. Don't be a schlemiel like yours truly and fork over a buck for this app. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2013-05-13, version 2.2* I wish this app had phonetic spelling or audio for each word. How can we learn the pronunciation otherwise? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with new iPhones *2023-12-28, version 4.0.0* I downloaded the app hoping to acquire some educational experience, but it only has a blank screen. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2023-08-05* Don’t bother it doesn’t work anymore. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2023-07-24, version 4.0.0* Broken app ### 1/5 — No longer works *2022-12-02, version 4.0.0* Nothing shows up in the dictionary ### 1/5 — App does nothing in 2022 *2022-10-06, version 4.0.0* This app used to display words like a dictionary. There werent alot of them but there were the most popular ones. Now the app is blank when its opened. The search box is still there but no content to search, the other tabs are also there but nothing is displayed. Ios 16 on iphone 14. Fix if you like, but honestly i could care less at this point. Do whatcha like. Oy vey. 😩 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work? *2022-09-22, version 4.0.0* Oy vey it doesn’t work? ### 1/5 — How is this supposed to work? *2022-07-10, version 4.0.0* There’s no content on either the Dictionary or Quiz tabs. If this requires a download, there should be something to indicate that. If it uses the cloud and can’t connect, it should say something about that. Guess I have to delete the app… ### 1/5 — Not good *2021-01-08, version 4.0.0* I was so excited to download but then the quiz doesn’t work to click on the right answer only the wrong one and it also doesn’t read to you the words ### 1/5 — Incorrect title and erroneous *2019-03-18, version 4.0.0* Many words in this are not slang words such as bris or bagel. The person who complied this pathetically short list needs to be certified ### 1/5 — What? *2019-02-19, version 4.0.0* When you open the app at first it doesn’t say what to do. The dictionary doesn’t have any words. I am very confused ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Toda raba *2022-03-18, version 4.0.0* Toda raba aba ### 5/5 — Great app, maybe add in some more features? *2019-01-13, version 4.0.0* Hey, I really enjoy the app, but do you think you could maybe add in how to pronounce the words, an example of them in use during a sentence, and maybe even add more words? Thanks, once again I love the app! ### 5/5 — The A-Z set up is brilliant *2017-02-25, version 2.2* Simple, user friendly & not complicated. Love it. Simple A-Z interface makes it so easy to use ### 5/5 — Oy vey! *2015-05-09, version 2.2* Great fun, my boy! 😄 ### 5/5 — Lee R *2013-03-19, version 2.2* It's the first time I've seen this and I love it. ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS ! *2012-09-20, version 2.1* It really us a help for me to learn . I love how it goes into the word - but not so deep into it's origin . Just a simple one , two . And your done . Onto rhe next word . ### 5/5 — Good fun, great app *2012-01-11, version 2.1* Really fun, good way to learn a few Yiddish words. Interesting as well. Perhaps have a few sayings, not just words, and maybe have the words written in the proper characters as well, but still 5 stars! ### 4/5 — Yiddish Slang Dictionary *2014-02-03, version 2.2* I am reading that some Yiddish speakers are dissing the program. But for me, whose Yiddish exposure ended with my grandma some 50 years ago, it has been great fun. ### 4/5 — Yiddish *2013-09-16, version 2.2* Good fun but could be more comprehensive ### 4/5 — Just what I wanted *2013-04-17, version 2.2* All that's missing is pronunciation. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
