Other than that they are the best in the Educational System,Dawatha Iman , Minister ### 4/5 — I love this app *2023-11-21* I love this app, but I would love it to be completed. It need more words in the word bank and the word search does not work yet. Please finish this already great app. ### 4/5 — Won’t unlock upgrade after purchasing annual subscription. *2023-06-03* Downloaded app, paid for annual subscription, followed instructions and app still says I need to subscribe to access premium features. Contacted developer thru app. No response or acknowledgement of contact. ### 4/5 — Copy and past *2022-01-19* Add copy and paste this app would be 5 stars.

We have updated the app with new features and AI technology to enhance app performance. For that specific part, you can now scroll down on the pop up to see the remaining information. Shalawam! ### 3/5 — Great concept *2021-04-28* Shalum and thank you for your efforts in creating this app. However, the app needs improvement in working out the kinks with the sound and also more research on the pronunciation of the words. Also, regular updates would be helpful. May Yahuah continue to bless your endeavors. **Developer response:** Tha-wa-da (Thank you) for your support. We have updated the app with new features to enhance the audio performance. Peace and blessings to you also. ### 3/5 — Please do it, there can be a huge audience for this! *2020-10-30* I have not yet used it, I rate it good simply for the concept and the potential it has. However, if you have not yet done so, please listen to and get in touch with the other review that was posted before mine, it seems that they may have some legitimate recommendations. I can promise you that, if you were to apply yourself and catch bugs, mistakes and make improvements by providing patches overall, I will promote this app. I really believe that this has a huge potential audience if you continue to update the app. Thanks in advance! **Developer response:** Thank you for your response.

Wouldn’t recommend *2022-09-27* Bought the subscription and the features it was supposed to unlock were still locked ### 1/5 — Zodu *2021-11-25* Paleo Hebrew app is very good it is a shame about the advertising you should give a option to buy. You are asking to much. One off payment should be enough monthly Not for me. **Developer response:** Hi and thank you for your response. We have updated the app and have removed all advertising along with the option to purchase premium features. ### 1/5 — Pronunciation is incorrect-updated *2021-11-25, version 2.0* I had to give this app only one star because the pronunciation it teaches is completely incorrect. If it were relatively close, then I’d give it more stars, but you can’t teach that “ma shlomka” is “ma shalawamka” and you cannot teach that “shlomi Tob” is “shalawamya tawab”. Even if the diacritic and vowel marks are absent in Ancient Hebrew, you can figure out that the pronunciation that the app teaches does not follow the phonological patterns of any Semitic language. Please fix the pronunciation, from the letter sounds to the greetings. Update: Thanks for your response, and no offense taken!! There are a few different dialects of ancient Hebrew, and it has some mutual intelligibility with other Canaanite languages of the time. Thanks to serious researchers in the field of Semitic linguistics, we can know the sound and structure of these languages to a large degree. The pronunciation in this app does not reflect anything close to the pronunciation of any of the ancient Canaanite languages or dialects. This is verifiable by anyone with an internet connection who chooses to do a quick fact check on this. Any standard pronunciation in a language is “fundamental,” but a teacher should choose at least one for students to focus on. As a researcher in the field of Semitic Linguistics, I can tell you that this pronunciation resembles an even further westernized version of Modern Hebrew where the “patah” and “qamaS” diacritics are used in excess to the point where it almost feels like the teaching is making a mockery of the ancient language. Furthermore, the grammar structure taught is also incorrect. Subject/verb placement in Paleo Hebrew is not correct in the app. In fact, the placement only resembles Modern Hebrew placement. My guess is that someone with an elementary knowledge of Modern Hebrew stuck the Paleo Hebrew letters on some lessons they made up and called it Paleo Hebrew. If you’re looking to learn from this app then do yourself a favor and turn the sound completely off, and just focus on the alphabet — maybe just the shape of the letters. But, if you want to sound silly and make it so that no one who really knows Paleo Hebrew can understand you, then turn the sound on and have fun! Otherwise, you can check YouTube for videos on Biblical / Archaic (Judahite) Hebrew to hear pronunciation and see sentence structure that is more accurate. ### 1/5 — Not for learning Biblical Hebrew *2021-06-10, version 1.3.3* I had hoped this would be a good app for learning Biblical Hebrew. Turns out that it doesn’t teach the modern characters so it’s not going to be able to help me learn how to read Hebrew. ### 2/5 — À améliorer +++ *2026-07-08* Cette appli n’est pas du tout aboutie. Elle devrait être gratuite entièrement tellement elle est mal faite pour l’instant. Elle ne demande qu’à évoluer. Pour l’instant, c’est mal traduit, c’est mélangé, mal organisé… je l’enlève. Mais j’espère qu’un jour elle sera valable. ### 2/5 — No sound *2019-09-21, version 1.3.3* Sound isn’t working on app ### 3/5 — No one ever responds *2025-12-03* No one responds to my email requests. Is the site still being monitored? My sign on never works on my iPhone and my subscription is treated like it doesn’t exist. I see no reason to subscribe if the app doesn’t recognize me and treats me like a guest user. ### 3/5 — Great Potential *2025-11-01* Has great potential. Issues found: some functions like the colors pronunciations cut off before completion and the 39$ lifetime subscription ad doesn’t function. Would definitely invest, app has way more going on than when I downloaded it a year or two ago. ### 3/5 — Educational Errors *2025-02-28, version 3.0.0* I thought Zodak would be more educational.They expect a person to move when they say too.Also,it don’t have reference to go by when you want to change from Hebrew back to English our Nation capital language USA . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great learning tool! *2025-07-26* True education. I like how they don’t add the e,o or u in the letters as there were no such vowels until waaay way later. Great tools to help memorize and it’s really fun! My children love it & I enjoy it just as much! It helped them become more fluent. ### 5/5 — Excellent Keyboard *2025-02-04* Does everything I wanted it to. Well worth the price! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2024-11-26* Praise Yah for awakening the dry bones of Yisrael and thank you creators of this app for helping people like me learn the pure language of hebrew. Blessings be upon you and your family and any generations that follow. ### 5/5 — Great starting point in learning paleo Hebrew *2024-05-11* I love this app I recommend everybody get this app I wish my membership would come back I paid for it but App Store keeps saying I don’t have access hopefully I can get this fixed otherwise it’s the most amazing paleo Hebrew experience to the maker of the app Thawadah ### 5/5 — Good app *2024-02-09, version 2.2.5* Very helpful app ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-09-05, version 2.1* I love this app but the sound is slurred and hard to understand and learn with my paid subscription please advise ### 5/5 — Sound *2021-11-25* Sound doesn’t work but glad I found the app. Just wish I could hear the words pronounced. *update… thank you all so much for updating and putting so much into this app. APTTMH!!! 5⭐️ **Developer response:** Tha-wa-da (thank you) for your rating.
