love the functionality of the app— especially having the ability to adjust the speed of the audio, see where you are in the text by the highlighted word being read, and being able to move the audio/text forward and backward easily. the only thing that is missing for me is the verse’s being indicated in the text so you can move to the desired verse with ease—this would make it perfect!

Today I was using your fantastic app again. In Genesis 4 we have the word בֵין and I noticed that I mispronounced it. So I looked more carefully at the word, and realized the YOD is part of the long vowel tsere-Yod. And it all clicked right away. I have always appreciated the cantor who is the reader of this Tanakh, but in your app I can read ahead two or three words and then listen and pause and keep reading and correcting. Is there a way to add a ten second rewind? If not, that is ok as I can do that manually. This is a fantastic app and I thank you for it.

I really think this app has great potential. I am attempting to learn Hebrew in order to read the Tanakh in Hebrew, and I find this app helpful. The following are things the developers could do to improve the app: What I would love to see most is an option to make the text smaller so more fits on the screen. Adding separation between verses, like maybe putting the start of each new verse on its own line would clean things up immensely. Currently, it’s all just mashed together. It would also be awesome if they fix the quality of the recorded narration. The narrator himself is fine, but the recording of the narration is terrible quality and sounds like it was recorded in a fully tile room in the year 1900. If the developer is reading this, I just want to say thank you for the app, keeping it up to date, and taking the time to read feedback.☺️
