Pros and cons of Tanach Bible app for iPhone and iPad

Tanach Bible app good for

It needs an English phonetic translation for those whod wish to read the pronunciation along with the English transliteration.
THank you for another great app. Whether its looking for a dvar torah or just wanting to learn tanach THIS APP DOES IT ALL!!!!!!
The biggest compliment I can give this app is that it feels like it was written by Apple! It is well crafted, smooth, quick (including search), and pretty to boot. Thank you!
Would really like the index to also be by Parsha. Its very hard to find things only by perek.
I bought this app a few months ago and have loved it. The search engine works wonderfully and is interchangeable with Hebrew and English searches, the vowel points actually line up in their proper place (which most other Hebrew Bible apps fail at), I can turn the vowels off if I want, and lots more stuff like legitimate copy and paste. What I like most is that these guys actually look at what their customers are writting about them in the review section and they do something about it! When I first bought the app I did it as an impule buy and at first I regreted my decision because I hated the font used for Rashis commentary and the searching parameters and these guys addressed those concerns with great updates. I am really happy with the product theyve put together and that they are so willing to help their customers out with what we want. I highly recommend this app to anyone. Only thing Id love to see now would be VGA support to a projector or monitor so I can use the app while Im teaching and presenting which Id think would be a great to show off the app to potential customers (not so subtle hint)! If you really want to make this something special then you could add a dictionary and parsing capability so that by touching the word you see the definition (hopefully from the BDB?) and see the word parsed.
This app exceeded my expectations. It is easy to use. Being able to find parashiot easily is great. The fonts are very clear. The search function is awesome. And it remembers where I was even if I close the app and come back later. Kol hakavod, Davka!

Some bad moments

Sure its in English but if you want to just find, say the Book of Isaiah you need to know Hebrew. Am I expected to scroll from Genesis to the 42nd chapter of Isaiah if I want to go there? Maybe Im missing something
My app is frozen now! Got it three days ago and now it is frozen and wont work.... If it doesnt unfreeze soon I will be wanting my money back.
As an English speaker who wants to carry the Tanach in my iPad, I was disappointed with this app. The translation is OK, but it has two serious shortcomings that detract from its usefulness. First, you cannot search by parsha. I dont know where in the chapters each parsha starts and ends, so this is a biggie. There are other Tanach apps that have this function. Second, I cannot search in English. When I start to search, I only get a Hebrew keyboard. I asked the developer for a refund and they Told me that these two issues will be resolved in a forthcoming update. Until then, this will have to live on a back page and I will be using my other Tanach. Ten bucks down the tube. Too bad.
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.
The search features of this app were written beyond poor. Searching for a phrase leaves you with unwanted results.
This week is Shavuot and I went to look up and prepare myself for a family reading of the ten commandments… to my surprise the English translation of this version has taken on that of the King James Bible, in that it uses the words “thou shall not kill” instead of the proper “thou shall not murder”. These words have fundamentally different meanings and it leads me to wonder what other portions have been creatively edited to further degrade the Torah. Thou shall not add nor subtract from the laws of G_D.
