Hebrew Dictionary Premium

I didn't give the free version a proper examination and I almost immediately bought the full version of the app... Only to find that the interface is clunky and limited. When I searched for an English word, I got a list of Hebrew words, but only the first one has audio. There's a simple Text to Speech engine built into the dictionary, but it doesn't always work properly. All the extra features that come with the paid-for version aren't at all useful really. What would be far more useful would be a list of sample sentences with the word (or the same concept conveyed), each with audio as well if possible. I ended up buying DictBox Hebrew for £7/$10, which even though more expensive is a much slicker and more comprehensive product.

I so love practically every aspect of this app. Previous versions suffered from the fact that it included English pronunciation only and not Hebrew. Now with the optional extras (well worth paying for in my opinion) that has now been covered. The games, the search facility, the quotations – all are immensely useful and fun. I use it all the time.

Great app but one problem. You can't get the Hebrew pronunciation, which is a pity as in the German app you can, get the German pronunciation. I feel let down by this problem, but the other uses are great especially the translator.

Good app which has many helpful words. It would be even better if it had the spoken Hebrew.

This app is one of the best for the I pad, I am learning hebrew and I am a native English speaker, the only minus to this app is that you get audio for the words in English , but not in hebrew... If you did it would really help those grappling with the phonetics of the Hebrew language.. If this app had hebrew audio I would give it five stars.....

I am trying to learn Hebrew with Duolingo, and thought this would be a nice companion program. I could use the flash cards feature to help me review vocabulary, look up the roots of vocabulary words to help me understand them better, etc. However, there are quite a few words that are just missing. For example, נשים, the Hebrew word for women is strangely absent. ״נשים מוכות״ (battered wives) is there. נשיות (feminine) is there, but not נשים. These aren’t esoteric words, but common vocabulary words. Heck, by definition basic vocabulary words. Other vocabulary words don’t seem to agree with Duolingo. I can’t say that Duolingo is the prime source of vocabulary meanings, but my wife who is a native Hebrew speaker tends to side with Duolingo when there is a dispute. You use a language dictionary when you don’t know the language, and the dictionary has to be 100% trustworthy. Otherwise, you find yourself literally in a Monty Python sketch.

Very helpful with my other language studies. Thank you.

I appreciate this app so much. It's very easy to use and to go at your own pace.

This program is well worth its very low Price. Also, it is quite nice that you do not have to be online to use it. In a similar vein, it is very fast to look up words. Much quicker than the online applications! As someone mentioned earlier, it would be helpful to have the gender of nouns listed, and perhaps the plural form as well for nouns that are irregular, such as לילה. Thanks for designing this application!

Why is no male voices, there is a different between male and female pronouncement of words. I would like to be able to hear male pronunciation at times. Would you try to add the male voice?
