Pealim — Hebrew Verb Forms

Pealim excels at showing spelling, pronunciation, conjugation, root form, and primary translation. It has an exhaustive list of verbs (both modern and literary/archaic) and a not-as-exhaustive list of nouns, adjectives, etc. when you search for a word, you also get a list of words that are related (I.e., share the same root). I wish the developers would update it more often, as there are definitely common words missing, such as some noun forms of verbs or adjectives). Do not expect Pealim to be your only reference; use Google Translate for long text (sentences, paragraphs, documents), and Reverso to see how words and phrases are used in other texts with a variety of meanings. And use Duolingo for training and practice.

As someone who’s currently learning modern Hebrew, this app is invaluable - I probably use it dozens of times a day. You can search for words in their conjugated forms, in Hebrew script or transliterated, and the interface is simple and organizes a lot of information into a clear format. Words also have direct links to other words of the same root/shoresh, which is great for understanding connections between vocabulary. Apparently the developer listens to feedback well, so here’s are 3 suggestions I have (in order of most to least important, in my opinion): 1. An option to disable transliterations entirely (for the purpose of practicing reading Hebrew script more intuitively, so my eyes don’t immediately look at the romanized version of a word - ideally, I could tap on the word/conjugation to quickly peek at the transliterated version, or maybe having a switch to show/hide transliterations per the whole definition, but just adding a “hide transliterations by default” toggle in the settings would be great) 2. Favorites are great but I have a lot of them - maybe have a way to save words to / sort favorites into named lists? That way I can put all words I think are useful for daily life into one, ones about shopping, ones about cooking, religion, etc. - it’d make it easy to keep track of a large number of words 3. When you have dark mode on, the logo on the search page is gone, it just looks completely black. This isn’t that important, but I assume it’s the easiest thing to fix, and it looks broken currently Thanks!

Edit - This is an update on my first review. The feature I was missing before is there now. The developers heard new ideas and implemented them, you can’t really ask for more than that. I go to this app a thousand times a day, absolutely love it. It’s just really useful and straight to the point. It has a nice clean interface that makes it easy to find what you’re after. That’s it, I’m a happy custumer. Thanks! ——— I hoped this would have the same functionalities as the website, it doesn’t. For this price, I would expect that. The most important part for me, that sets Pealim apart from all other websites for Hebrew conjugation and what keeps me going back to it again and again it is the ability to search for words in their transliterated form, so that us learners that are hearing the word for the first time and have no idea how it’s written, or know how to say it and simply forgot how to write it, can go straight to it, without having to spend precious minutes first finding out if it’s א or ע and ט or ת and ק or כ etc. This makes a huge difference if you’re looking up 30 words a day. That key functionality isn’t there and I wouldn’t have bought the app had I known that.
