Learn Hebrew - WordPower App Reviews

Fantastic

Not all the vocabulary is available in a spoken version. A lot of major words seem to miss.

I have no doubt this program will greatly help me learn Hebrew. The design and layout is excellent and very user friendly. Looking forward to future updates!

This app is great on my iPhone 4 but continually crashes on my iPad. For the price I expected a whole lot more from this app. Very disappointed. Im even having trouble just finding the settings for it. The layout is difficult to maneuver around and it seems clumsy to work with. I hope these issues get resolved as my iPad is what I paid to use this on.

The app has a lot of potential, but for now it has a long way to go. English verbs in the infinitive are rendered in Hebrew either as the infinitive or the 3rd p. past tense in the masculine. Written sentences often dont match the recordings. Sometimes sentences are repeated. Sometimes the presented word doesnt appear in any of the examples, only in the English translations - which suggests this app is a translation.

A good app, it helps to learn a not easy language. Also th e website is vero good.

This app needs work to be really great. Excellent ideas but misses the mark on at least half of the translations (yes I know, no translation is really perfect, but some of these are way off base.) It would also be nice to have masculine/feminine versions of all of the adverbs/adjectives/nouns that its applicable on (even if they couldnt add the voice for it, it would be great just to have the romanization there to see). And my last dying wish is for verb conjugations, what you get here is just the infinitive, which in Hebrew is very little help as to how the word will actually be conjugated. Also for some reason there are 2 of the same word in every category, which is just an annoyance. Ok but really... not a bad program, but not worth 10 bucks.

Ok but it really needs verb conjugations male/female etc. Also like how the 1935 words is rounded up in the review to 2000. Will more words be added. Also needs more common phrases.

As I may be returning to Israel this year, i wanted to learn more than the 3 years of Hebrew School I can remember (which is little if anything). After reading the reviews of all the other Apps, and having had the Lite version of this (Word a Day) i took a gamble (since there were only 2 reviews, neither positive). That it has more words (ALMOST 2000) and phoenetics is great! I LOVE that I can hear the pronunciation as well as the Hebrew spelling. Better to hear so when i am there and someone tells me something, I dont have to ask them to write it. I like the word bank. I will stock up on the words I think will be most useful and learn those before I go, the rest I can reference. Words are in categories (great for looking) as well as searching. I dont worry about speaking like a native when I am there. Besides, I would think if I say "Where Bathroom" will get me what I need just as good as "Where is your bathroom?"! Since I was unable to access the Hebrew Travel website (even though only $5) what I saw did not give me enough of what I need. So, heres to the company that offers the most comprehensive and useful Hebrew dictionary in the App store.

im only 12, nd my dad works way to much, so he dosnt have the time to teach me. THIS APP HELPED ALOT!!

This application is well done and will definitely help anyone learning Hebrew to improve their vocabulary. The only issues I have are: 1. The application does not restart after going through the flashcards, requiring you to reinstall the program for the iPhone 4 using the current OS and 2. We need an update to not only resolve this problem, but to add more words to the program. Outside of the annoying need to reinstall the application as per above, which I continue to do and in part a testament to the utility of the application itself, this is a great program that helps improve your word bank. But please, fix this problem.

App wont load after using flashcards. Need to keep reinstaling. No response from customer service. $10 should pay for an app that works, not one that crashes predictably using a core feature. Other shortcomings include dup vocab entries and no gender info on nouns.

The appvquits and will not restart. You have to download and reinstall. I have complained to Apple and they will refund ur money. Go to expresslane.apple. Com( ithink) it

App maker responded but has still not solved the bug. Reinstallation worked but lost all progress and word bank. After using flash card feature, program is "black screen" and crashes. Wait and dont spend $9.99 until they solve their problems.

This helped me improve more then you can imagine its worth 20$

Theres still an issue of misspelled words where the שׁ שׂ are mixed up but the transliteration is correct. Also, about half the time the dagesh has shifted one consonant to the left of where it should be.

I hope the result of the search words include the sample sentences words. Thanks. 我希望搜索的结果也包含例句里的单词。

I love this app!

This app has all the information concisely packaged for each learning style- verbal, audio, and kinesthetic. Very easy to use!

Very easy interface, and I like that the sample sentences are spoken at near-normal pace. The ear training is important. It would be nice if the written Hebrew included the cursive alphabet, also the ability to print would be nice, but this is a lot of functionality already for just a few bucks, less than the cost of a cheap paperback.
