This app has many great features, and is constantly improving. A variety of speakers, who are leading Rabbonim who are well known and are extremely knowledgeable. There are shiurim (lectures) that range from a few minutes to an hour, which some of them dedicated wholly to individual classical commentators. My weekly Parsha learning has been transitioned to this app, and I’m looking forward to seeing what new additions there will be!

Rav Rosenberg’s Aaliyah Yomi is very geshmak if you lack the time and resources, he goes through each Aaliyah bringing down an Occasional RAMBAN, RAMBAM, SFORNO, a lot of Maskil L’Dovids. Very clear very straightforward. If you have the ArtScroll App and the Edmund J Safra edition you’ll find with the hyperlinks or not many of these insights. When he down a Tanchuma, or Medrash, or Gemara he’ll sight the mekor but I have not him go inside. Then he reviews the Aaliyah with RASHI, clearly using the Saperstein Edition adding some of the mekoros cited that one may not have access too. He’s articulate clear, but it’s a shiur not a Broadway show. I am disappointed with what’s more of something misleading, Categories e.g. Ramban, Sphorno, Ohr Hachaim…I knew to do the entire parsha clearly with the RAMBAN clearly would take a long time, but I figured there’d be 1-2 in depth per Aaliyah, but there is unfortunately only one shiur. Personally Ohr Hachaim the one or two presented in 20 minute that are very well explained. Otherwise it’s pashut Divrei Torah, there are no mind blowing Drashas on it. Because it’s a huge effort, I won’t take off two stars but I do feel there can be a 25-60 minute presentation on the Haftorah, and how it connects to the particular parsha.

This app is amazing. It has intelligent, worldly female and male speakers. I love listening to Rabbi Efraim Shapiro - his class is somewhat text based and I really enjoy that kind of learning. I plan to listen every week!
