Actual User Feedback ***** "I have been out of school now for two years, and although I never thought I would say this, I miss it. I miss the daily inspiration, I miss the constant chizuk and I miss the constructive Musser. Ever since I've started listening to shiurim on Torah anytime, I have felt tremendous gratitude towards you." ***** "I recently went through a challenging time and a friend recommended your site to me. The difference it has made in my life is immeasurable. I am writing from Melbourne Australia, and having access to such speakers is phenomenal. Thank you for making it possible." ***** "I just wanted to thank you for this AMAZING organization. I recently came back from seminary and it was so hard to adjust to work and college life. I was missing "inspirations" so much. My friend recommended me to try torahanytime speeches and I can't even tell you how I was so impressed. I listen to shiurim all the time (whenever is possible). you have such a nice variety of different topics and speakers, I never have enough! these shuirim really change me....thank you! So there's a tremendous amount of Hakras Hatov I have to you that no words would be enough to express it. I'm sure that this is what will bring our geulah b'mhera. Keep it going! Thank you!"

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TorahAnytime at 4.9 against Make it Grow's 4.0. TorahAnytime also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 4). Make it Grow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TorahAnytime holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TorahAnytime has 11K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Make it Grow's written reviews are positive against 96% of TorahAnytime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Make it Grow ships an update every 9 days, TorahAnytime every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
