Ratings and reviews

One of my favorite finds of all time! Unlike most interlinears, this app shows only the Hebrew text, which prevents you from looking at the English translation in your periphery while reading. Similarly important, the translation of each word when you touch it is a translation of that word generally NOT a hand-holding translation of that word in context (again, like most interlinears), which leaves you unsure of the word's general meaning. Fantastic! I'm very grateful that this app exists!

Satisfactorily Good, I rate four stars because it doesn't have a transliteration of the Hebrew words only the English translation and it's possible other meanings contextually. For the beginners they will only know the English translation and not the vocalizations. Todah Rabah to the Apps operators. Shalom

It could do better with proper names and it is time to update the Chapter selection menu. Otherwise very nicely done. It would also be of help if you decided to include something like Rashi or other commentators or maybe the Apocrypha.
