Split cultured person. I think I have asburgers or something but after translating - it makes sense.... Life makes sense. The world make sense. This app makes sense.

Very Impressive!. The biggest compliment I can give this app is that it feels like it was written by Apple! It is well crafted, smooth, quick (including search), and pretty to boot. Thank you! Update: Great to have this updated - after 6 years of no updates. I’ve used it the last 6 years, wondering if it will eventually become obsolete and unusable by an iOS update. That would have been a pity because this app is so good. Happy that we’ll have this for another few years. Thanks for updating it!!!

A treasure!. Great Shavuot gift from you guys. Request option for Rashi font on the Rashi commentary next version. Many thanks!

Great App - Very useful. Works very well. I like it best for saying my daily chitas. If there was one thing I would add it would be the option to automatically go to the days portion

Almost perfect app. Easy to navigate and search .... would love to have Rashi in english, ability to search in english, and way to increase font size

Review. Like the English and Hebrew. However was disappointed that the commentary was not in English. Also can't search by weekly parsha or book or in English. Need to elaborate on this app more and make it more powerful.

I Love The Tanakh. I truly enjoy this. However I would that I could see the highlighting and quicker access to my notes. There also aught to be some sort of tutorial for using it and explain it; I still don't know, nor can I find out anywhere, what the (K) is for — and it's all through the Scriptures.

Awesome App!. This is simply the best Tanach (Bible) app on the market! The text is super clear (even with the vowelization [nekudot], which in other Hebrew language apps does not alway display nicely), the navigation is intuitive, and it has a number of unique features - all of which work as advertised (bookmarks, a really great search function, etc.) But what makes this really stand out is the inclusion of Rashi's commentary which is presnted here in line with the text of the tanach iteslf. All said, this app is simply outstanding! Money well spent!

Fantastic. The only items I would ask for in future updates are haftorah links and an English translation of the Rashi.

Great app!. An awesomw app for all your Hebrew Bible needs! I use it everyday in class, and it saves me the trouble of carrying around a bulky paper copy. But like the others said, please add an English version of the Rashi commentary!!!

Need more options. I want to go from Book to Book in the search mode. At present, the search options are too limited. I do not speak Hebrew, but I like that the Tanach is more complete and accurate than the KJV of the Bible.

Disappointed. This week is Shavuot and I went to look up and prepare myself for a family reading of the ten commandments… to my surprise the English translation of this version has taken on that of the King James Bible, in that it uses the words “thou shall not kill” instead of the proper “thou shall not murder”. These words have fundamentally different meanings and it leads me to wonder what other portions have been creatively edited to further degrade the Torah. Thou shall not add nor subtract from the laws of G_D.

Search function.. Great app but since the last update the search function has been stopped working if you search in the 'chapter' and 'part' sections. Only in the 'book' section the search works.

Good app, a few requests.... Very good app. Font is nice and legible. A few requests/suggestions: - When looking up texts by parashiot, the chapter number is not indicated, only the verses. So if you're reading, say, parashat 'emor' you don't really know where you are reading in Leviticus. Please add chapter numbers! - Browsing for passages is a little awkward and not space efficient. If you want to look up Psalm 150, you need to scroll down several screens until you reach the end of the list. It would be better to have smaller boxes for selecting chapter numbers rather than a whole line for each. - Font size when switching to landscape mode is too large. It would also be good to have more than only 3 font size options, and separate settings for Hebrew and English font sizes - To add my voice to a previous request, Rashi in English would be great!

Another home run ..... I need to start by saying that I was a Fan of Davka's software before this came out - so I had high expectations. I must say I was not disappointed. My favorite part is the amazingly fast search. I needed a Dvar Torah based on a a name and was able to do it while on the train with no other access to a computer or Tanach etc. you are also able to do some copy and paste to send people Psukim in an email/sms etc (this may be only because I am on an Israeli network) If there is anything that I would like to improve it is that I would like to be able to "multi-touch" and zoom in on some parts. Nice job...

Just bought it.. I just bought the app & was disappointed in the lack of "options" features such as: controlling the font size, bookmarks, history, notes, etc. if anything at all, I would like to have the option to control the font size & an option for having a full screen of only the English translation to go along with the other formats.

Must have.. This app has served me very well now for the past 2+ yrs and I could live with out it. Very user friendly & no nonsense!

Need technical support. I recently purchased this app, and I cannot seem to find a way to highlight selected passages. I like the side by side English and Hebrew reading feature. I need highlighting capability. I used free Bible apps, and they all seem to have that standard. If some could please help with that, it would me a great deal. Thank you.

Good but not perfect. For the most part this is a pretty good app. The user interface (getting from one Sefer to another) could be more user friendly - there are too many hierarchical menus to go back and forward with. How about making the options of Sefer, Perek etc. selectable by "rolling" up and down like when choosing a date and time for an entry in iPhone / iPad Calendar? Also, just because I choose to see text in "Parshiot" view instead of "Chapter" view, why should I not be able to see the number of the Perek I'm in, in addition to the Pasuk?

Teacher. Great app. It would even better if you would Onkeles

Great App. A truly superb app. What about adding other commentaries/translations. Happy to pay for the add-ons. Well done!!

Love this. I think it's unbelievable to get so much life and infiniteness laid out for you so clearly - FOR $2!!!

Nice. This is nice, but İ wish they would say which Hebrew text this is, and what English translation they're using. Haggai 1.6 says "there is no warm." I hope there aren't other errors.

Rashi text in English, please. I purchased this app in advance hoping to support this effort and to request inclusion of the Rashi text in English. Thanks in advance.

Perfect + Add English Rashi Translation. I cannot ask for a better app but I hope you will integrate the English Rashi (even as an in-app purchase). Thank you!

Great resource. Does exactly what it says and does it well. My only wish is for a dictionary / lexicon tied into it to assist with reading.

Superb app!!. This app was made solely with the user in mind. It works very well. Has translation on all of tanach for fraction of what they could charge. My favorite part: you can type any word and a massive search will come up containing any time the word is used in tanach. You can also narrow the search to a specific Sefer. I highly recommend this app especially to use for reference or finding a specific passuk.

Please update the app. Please update the app for the larger screen of the iPhone 5. Thank you so much!! Great app!!

THANK YOU!. This app is totally worth it! The best! This just might be the perfect Tanakh app, if only it had the option to display English only. To the previous review who wanted rashi font: from the iPod settings menu you can access that option.

Not good enough. Way too “simple”. In the search, I typed “genesis” and got the message that “genesis” was not found in Tanach. Not worth having it. I’m unloading it now.

I have just bought this app. I like this app so far. The thing I like so far is that I don't have to have internet to use it.

Excelent. It is an amazing app! I started teaching my younger brother Tanach before I found this app. I found this app, installed it, and now I am learning very well

The Ultimate Book to read on your iPhone!. I can not think of a better book to have on my iPhone for those times that I am forced to wait without access to a magazine or newspaper. To read the Tanach on your iPhone in English and in Hebrew is the best book anyone could have. I can now read and study Torah, the Nevi'im, and the Ketubim at any time! And the app has the capability of bookmarking verses and searching for words in English or in Hebrew. I have already bookmarked all the footnotes I have written in the margins of my Tanach. Now, not only can I read and study independently, if I ever am in a discussion of Torah with someone, I have the entire Tanach and commentary in my pocket. I can now pull out my phone and use my bookmarks to bring up relevant passages and search for words in English or in Hebrew. No longer will my personal conversations on scripture be based on: "Trust me: I have read it in the original Hebrew". Now, I can pull out my phone and show anyone who questions scripture the English translation and translate the Hebrew for them. Any time I have a question away from home, I do not have to wait to go home and get my Tanach to find out. I can simply pull out my phone and find the chapter and verse in English and Hebrew for myself or others. I can not think of a more important book to have on my phone but the Torah, Nevi'im and Ketubim. The only problem is that I do not have a Hebrew dictionary if I find a verse I can not translate. But, perhaps there is an app for that too.

Wonderful update but please add VGA suport now!!!. I bought this app a few months ago and have loved it. The search engine works wonderfully and is interchangeable with Hebrew and English searches, the vowel points actually line up in their proper place (which most other Hebrew Bible apps fail at), I can turn the vowels off if I want, and lots more stuff like legitimate copy and paste. What I like most is that these guys actually look at what their customers are writting about them in the review section and they do something about it! When I first bought the app I did it as an impule buy and at first I regreted my decision because I hated the font used for Rashi's commentary and the searching parameters and these guys addressed those concerns with great updates. I am really happy with the product they've put together and that they are so willing to help their customers out with what we want. I highly recommend this app to anyone. Only thing I'd love to see now would be VGA support to a projector or monitor so I can use the app while I'm teaching and presenting which I'd think would be a great to show off the app to potential customers (not so subtle hint)! If you really want to make this something special then you could add a dictionary and parsing capability so that by touching the word you see the definition (hopefully from the BDB?) and see the word parsed.

Gorgeous Hebrew with Trop. Finally, a Tanach that displays Hebrew with the Nikud and Trop properly. Others I've seen on the iPhone would sometimes shift the Trop to a different letter to make room for the Nikud. It looks good in the 3 sizes of text they supply. I liked the navigation as a popup, keeping the full page for text. Very natural to read that way, in portrait. Strangely, it did not take full advantage of the screen width in landscape. Also, swiping left and right change from all Hebrew to Hebrew plus English translation, instead of next page and previous page. There are buttons for next Perek and previous Perek. The two-column text with Rashi setting for Chumash is amazing! It really provides an advantage over printed Chumashim, as you easily see all the Rashi associated with a verse instead of having to hunt down the Rashi on the bottom of the page. If you do Shnaim Mikrah with Rashi, this is great, but there is no Onkelos. Copy-paste into the Notes app displayed the text but no Nikud or Trop. Bookmarks are okay. Search across all Tanach is amazing and fast. It highlights the search phrase in each found verse.

Update fine. Froze at first but now it works fine

Fantastic!. I have been looking for an app like this for a long time. Having the whole tanach in both Hebrew and English is amazing and the ability to search the texts, find the sentences (pasukium) with ease has been fantastic. Looking for the perfect Jewish killer app, look no further.

Ok. It's not a great translation. It leaves out words when translating, and sometime it will add an extra few words that aren't in the pasuk. A direct translation would be preferred.

Dovid. This is a great product the text and the nikud are lined up perfectly and having the english translation at your finger tips is great.

Amazing!. I just started a program of learning a perek of Nach every day and this app is perfect for that. The side-by-side display of the English translation and Rashi is very good and well done. The price is more than reasonable for the value we are getting. I literally cannot think of one thing I would change in this app. Please, Davka, make more apps for classic Jewish texts.

Good App. I just bought the app this week. This is a good app. What would make this a great app are: 1. Add an English Rashi. Perhaps give us the option of which two columns to display; English, Hebrew or Rashi English. 2. Add a size slider so that we can make the text bigger. If that is not possbile add another size option - LARGEST. On the iPad the English looks bigger on the right than the Hebrew. See if you can make the Hebrew bigger. Thanks for a good app.

Overall solid app. Good, clear and easy to use. However, it would be great if they enhanced the search to find a phrase or multiple words

Great, streamlined app. Love this app and its simplicity. The side-by-side English/Hebrew is great for learning. But two add'l features would make it perfect: 1) bookmark or remember where I left off within a chapter—if I put my phone down and come back to it later, it always starts me over again at the top. And 2) an English Rashi translation please! Looking forward to future updates.

Wonderful study tool!. This is a great app for studying TaNAKh! The search is very good and the bookmarks are helpful. It would really be nice to add the capability of making notes. I've tried doing it with bookmarks--and while it accepts my full note, as far as I can see, there is no way to read more than the first few words. I still love the app and use it in class.

Tanach. This is an excellent accessible Tanach. You can find the chapters easily. I like the fact that the hebrew and the english are side by side so you can read a passage in Hebrew and instantly see the English translation. Thanks for this app.

Needs three more features. Excellent app, but it needs three more things to rate it 5 stars: --ability to highlight text, not just bookmark it --annotations. Like many people, I write notes in the margins. Alternate word translations, ideas, interpretations have no place to go. --Rashi text translation. Option for Rashi font would be the best! Thanks for a great app though. One more version and it will be perfect!

Very good. Excellent. Unfortunately does not include Haftorah portions related to weekly Parsha even though the relevant books are included. Odd considering the Parshas and Aliya portions are delineated. That why I deduct a star.

Print button does crash. When printing a chapter on 15.0 the application crash’s when you select the print button

Great but not fully in English. Sure it's in English but if you want to just find, say the Book of Isaiah you need to know Hebrew. Am I expected to scroll from Genesis to the 42nd chapter of Isaiah if I want to go there? Maybe I'm missing something

Truly wonderful app!!!. Love it. Very well designed, easy to use and very useful.

JAN-2023 update = the end. App was quite good until.... Then l made the mistake of the recent update “JAN-2023”. App now crashes, goes to black screen & is now useless. Avoid the update. Too late for me, have to delete app now & search for another

תודה!!. פשוט ככה התנך באפליקציה ועוד תנך מפורש !!

Perfect. This app exceeded my expectations. It is easy to use. Being able to find parashiot easily is great. The fonts are very clear. The search function is awesome. And it remembers where I was even if I close the app and come back later. Kol hakavod, Davka!

Wonderful. Absolutely amazing. Only suggestion o have is that they should add in weekday aliot.

Nice app. I learned the bible in Hebrew and the app enables me to communicate with people who knows the English version

English translation of Rashi please!. This is a great app. My Hebrew is not that good and I would appreciate an English translation of the Rashi commentary

Great App!. Great resource and easy and convenient to use.

What's all the wow. Where are the Parshiot?? What good are Chapters? There are other Torah apps out there, where you look up by Parshiot. Who expects one to know where Parshat Noach is in. I guess I jumped the gun on this app. Not worth the cost, for now, unless they add Parshiot.

Great App. Would really like the index to also be by Parsha. It's very hard to find things only by perek.

No parsha. As an English speaker who wants to carry the Tanach in my iPad, I was disappointed with this app. The translation is OK, but it has two serious shortcomings that detract from it's usefulness. First, you cannot search by parsha. I don't know where in the chapters each parsha starts and ends, so this is a biggie. There are other Tanach apps that have this function. Second, I cannot search in English. When I start to search, I only get a Hebrew keyboard. I asked the developer for a refund and they Told me that these two issues will be resolved in a forthcoming update. Until then, this will have to live on a back page and I will be using my other Tanach. Ten bucks down the tube. Too bad.

Worth ten times the price. Use it to learn one perek Tanach daily.Takes only two years to finish. The app is amazingly good.Thanks

Perfect. Works great I love it Thanks

Torah. So I really find this app helpful but for me to give it 5 stars it really needs rashis comments! otherwise this app is great

Search is unusable!. The search features of this app were written beyond poor. Searching for a phrase leaves you with unwanted results.

FROZEN!!!!. My app is frozen now! Got it three days ago and now it is frozen and won't work.... If it doesn't unfreeze soon I will be wanting my money back.

Great!. Exactly what I was waiting for !

THIS APP IS SPLENDID!!!!!!. THank you for another great app. Whether its looking for a dvar torah or just wanting to learn tanach THIS APP DOES IT ALL!!!!!!
