8 of 16Very good
This app is not quite there yet. While I applaud the effort and the interface and parshiot layout are just about the best I've seen, it's unacceptable that an app that costs $15, cannot display the text properly. The vowels and tropes are not aligned properly, making for a difficult reading experience.
Really expensive, inaccurate trop and vowels, slow loading speed, not worth it.
Very useful. Especially the search function. I find the posuk I'm looking for everytime!
As with other RustyBrick products, TaNaCH is superbly written and usability is intuitive. You guys rock! Finally a TaNaKH (that is, one not written by a "non-believer") for the iPhone! The only thing missing is an interlinear English translation, which is why I gave it 4 Stars instead of 5.
A great app - everything one would expect from this company
What's great about this application: it's fabulous to read the Hebrew Bible (no English interlinear needed, please) on the iPhone. This app makes it possible, and that alone makes the app terrific. However, for $15, it would be nice to have something that has good features. Let's start with the Fonts and their sizing. There is no need for a SMALL size font cuz nobody can read it on the iPod/Phone. RustyBrick would be better off figuring out a way to provide increments of the large font without having to use a slider. The change in font size is not visible if one moves from the text to the Settings to increase the font size. One has to be in Browse mode to have the the change in font size immediately apparent. That's a defect. Another defect is the kerning or the width of the space between lines...too big. The mail the verse is not a feature that I find desirable; I'd prefer to make notes on the text and send the mail from the notes section. The touch screen is so sensitive that a careless touch will bring the mail verse popup. Annoying. It would be wonderful if the programmer could take a page out of Stanza's programming book and arrange so that the reader flips the page rather than scrolls down when reading.
The price is nothing short of ridiculous. The guy is taking you for a ride no matter what anyone says it's not worth the price. Second of all the dev is less than a pleasure to deal with. Practically no help, just a generic response of buy it and you'll see.
