Tanach Bible App Reviews

Overall solid app

Good, clear and easy to use. However, it would be great if they enhanced the search to find a phrase or multiple words

No English Rashi

The title says it all. If there is an English translation of the Tanakh, then why no English Rashi? Please bring this greatest of the commentators to English only speakers.

Good app, a few requests...

Very good app. Font is nice and legible. A few requests/suggestions: - When looking up texts by parashiot, the chapter number is not indicated, only the verses. So if youre reading, say, parashat emor you dont really know where you are reading in Leviticus. Please add chapter numbers! - Browsing for passages is a little awkward and not space efficient. If you want to look up Psalm 150, you need to scroll down several screens until you reach the end of the list. It would be better to have smaller boxes for selecting chapter numbers rather than a whole line for each. - Font size when switching to landscape mode is too large. It would also be good to have more than only 3 font size options, and separate settings for Hebrew and English font sizes - To add my voice to a previous request, Rashi in English would be great!

English translation of Rashi please!

This is a great app. My Hebrew is not that good and I would appreciate an English translation of the Rashi commentary

Search is unusable!

The search features of this app were written beyond poor. Searching for a phrase leaves you with unwanted results.

Love this

I think its unbelievable to get so much life and infiniteness laid out for you so clearly - FOR $2!!!

Wonderful study tool!

This is a great app for studying TaNAKh! The search is very good and the bookmarks are helpful. It would really be nice to add the capability of making notes. Ive tried doing it with bookmarks--and while it accepts my full note, as far as I can see, there is no way to read more than the first few words. I still love the app and use it in class.

Great App

A truly superb app. What about adding other commentaries/translations. Happy to pay for the add-ons. Well done!!

Wonderful

Absolutely amazing. Only suggestion o have is that they should add in weekday aliot.

Great app!

An awesomw app for all your Hebrew Bible needs! I use it everyday in class, and it saves me the trouble of carrying around a bulky paper copy. But like the others said, please add an English version of the Rashi commentary!!!

Nice

This is nice, but İ wish they would say which Hebrew text this is, and what English translation theyre using. Haggai 1.6 says "there is no warm." I hope there arent other errors.

Good but not perfect

For the most part this is a pretty good app. The user interface (getting from one Sefer to another) could be more user friendly - there are too many hierarchical menus to go back and forward with. How about making the options of Sefer, Perek etc. selectable by "rolling" up and down like when choosing a date and time for an entry in iPhone / iPad Calendar? Also, just because I choose to see text in "Parshiot" view instead of "Chapter" view, why should I not be able to see the number of the Perek Im in, in addition to the Pasuk?

Excelent

It is an amazing app! I started teaching my younger brother Tanach before I found this app. I found this app, installed it, and now I am learning very well

Nice app

I learned the bible in Hebrew and the app enables me to communicate with people who knows the English version

The Ultimate Book to read on your iPhone!

I can not think of a better book to have on my iPhone for those times that I am forced to wait without access to a magazine or newspaper. To read the Tanach on your iPhone in English and in Hebrew is the best book anyone could have. I can now read and study Torah, the Neviim, and the Ketubim at any time! And the app has the capability of bookmarking verses and searching for words in English or in Hebrew. I have already bookmarked all the footnotes I have written in the margins of my Tanach. Now, not only can I read and study independently, if I ever am in a discussion of Torah with someone, I have the entire Tanach and commentary in my pocket. I can now pull out my phone and use my bookmarks to bring up relevant passages and search for words in English or in Hebrew. No longer will my personal conversations on scripture be based on: "Trust me: I have read it in the original Hebrew". Now, I can pull out my phone and show anyone who questions scripture the English translation and translate the Hebrew for them. Any time I have a question away from home, I do not have to wait to go home and get my Tanach to find out. I can simply pull out my phone and find the chapter and verse in English and Hebrew for myself or others. I can not think of a more important book to have on my phone but the Torah, Neviim and Ketubim. The only problem is that I do not have a Hebrew dictionary if I find a verse I can not translate. But, perhaps there is an app for that too.

Needs three more features

Excellent app, but it needs three more things to rate it 5 stars: --ability to highlight text, not just bookmark it --annotations. Like many people, I write notes in the margins. Alternate word translations, ideas, interpretations have no place to go. --Rashi text translation. Option for Rashi font would be the best! Thanks for a great app though. One more version and it will be perfect!

Rashi text in English, please

I purchased this app in advance hoping to support this effort and to request inclusion of the Rashi text in English. Thanks in advance.

Torah

So I really find this app helpful but for me to give it 5 stars it really needs rashis comments! otherwise this app is great

Great App - Very useful

Works very well. I like it best for saying my daily chitas. If there was one thing I would add it would be the option to automatically go to the days portion

Please update the app

Please update the app for the larger screen of the iPhone 5. Thank you so much!! Great app!!
