Old Testament Hebrew Cards

I haven't tried any other Hebrew flash card apps, but I'd say that I'm mostly happy with this one. I like that you can study either by one of the major grammars or by frequency of occurrence. I find the display aesthetically pleasing and the interface intuitive to use. The audio feature is also a help to learning. Nonetheless, there are several notable improvements that might be made. I have still come across a few cards that are blank on the Hebrew side—a bug that appears to have existed for several years now based on past reviews. Two additional features would increase the app's usefulness a great deal: (1) a ”slideshow“ mode in which the selected cards would cycle through automatically, and (2) an “audio response“ mode by which you could speak the English meaning of the Hebrew word to the phone. The first feature would enable users to make better use of the app in the car by listening to their selected group of cards in Hebrew & English. The second feature (one used by Duolingo for modern language learning) would help users not to ”cheat“ or think they know words they don't really know. The app is quite expensive, and therefore I think the persistence of the blank vocabulary cards is quite inexcusable, and the addition of features like the ones I've mentioned reasonable. As it stands, I think this app is good, but not great—though it has the potential to be so.

I now receive a warning when opening this app that it "Will not work with future versions of iOS." I'd think twice about purchasing this app until the developers take care of this issue. And since the last update was in 2012, I'm a little concerned.

Wrong vocabulary cards in chapters, blank cards with English only, missing words from multiple chapters--these are three of the more serious problems with this app. Secondly, here is the progression when you try to give feedback--General acknowledge thanking you for your feedback/suggestions, customer sends follow-up question, customer support is dismissive, customer sends another follow-up email, customer support turns hostile, customer gets on itunes and tells other customers to stay away from this app. This app has some great potential, but for $20, it's clearly not worth buying right now.
