I really like the way this program is set up but the features don't work very well. Sometimes the audio piece doesn't work and sometimes the translation is way off. For example, the Hebrew word Shabbat is translated as the word name. When I followed up with tech support, here's the response I got. ---------------- I'll put this on my to do list, but I don't expect to work on it any time soon, because I have many other things to work on. Regards, Shai

This is a great concept and I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, when I click on a word, it doesn't show a translation, though it does read the word out loud. When I try to go beyond Genesis chapter 1, it shows that it can't connect to the app store for in-app purchase but my phone has no other issues connecting to the app store. The check boxes for sound on/off and translate on/off do not respond.

This would be great if the words were pronounced normally, like people actually speak. Instead, there's a substantial pause after each syllable in multi-syllable words, and sometimes even a pause in the middle of a syllable.

I find it very useful in learning to speak Hebrew. It is not great by itself. The words are exaggerated but when learning to speak, exaggeration works good. It is hard to hear the different sounds when Hebrew is simply read. I not only want to read Hebrew, I want to speak it and understand it in different dialects, this app helps in that process

I finally bought a few of the Books - Like Tehillim (Psalms) and I am really impressed. Not so much with the Sound feature since I read well - I can see the value in it for Beginner Hebrew Readers it will definitely be a help for them. But what I really like is the interlinear translation. With it you can get the exact translation in context of every Hebrew Word. This App is truly a Diamond. It will help you understand the Hebrew Prayer. Again great job TES - I have been buying TES software since the early 90's and I recommend their stuff all the time. My Kids loved Mitzvah Man - heard they came out with a new version.

I deleted this as I was interested in the sound but it's not syllable by syllable but letter my letter and way to slow even at the fastest speed to make sense or be useful.

I love this app, making great progress in my Hebrew reading. Can be useful for Bar Mitzvah preparation.

Purchased Genesis. Was charged $9.99. Read through chapter 3. System erased chapters once I read through them and asked for more money. I hope this is a s/w bug and not fraud.
