JOFA's Megillat Esther

I’ve been reading Megilat Ester for close to 20 years, and this is the best tool to prepare for my reading. The pronunciation is precise and the tikkun mode is really useful whenever I have a moment to review. Highly recommended!

I tried learning from some YouTube videos but the were too fast, too slow, not in my range, etc. This app with the inbuilt tikkun and the ability to hear any section of the text is awesome! The pace is medium and the voice is mid-alto range. The trope is clear and without embellishment which I think is correct for teaching. (FYI - The link to JOFA leadership no longer works. Might want to replace with a basic link to JOFA so that you don’t need to change the app whenever the website changes.)

Great app for learning Megillat Esther. The audio is clear and at at a good pace for learners, and the option to display the translation is very helpful.

This is my third Purim prepping Perek 4 with JOFA's app and by now we are old friends. Grateful for this tech!

This app was extremely helpful in my learning and understanding of Megillat Esther! The leiner did a beautiful job!

Nice app. Good structure and very useful in learning the taamim and the megilla. While I appreciate that the person who recorded it is in the alto-range, I would have liked to hear a more pleasant recording. Nothing operatic, just more precise pitches and intervals. The musicality felt a little sloppy. Other than that, Yashar Koach to JOFA and all involved.

I agree that you can't use this app to learn Megillah because the singer doesn't stay in key. It's impossible to distinguish a clear melodic pattern in the trop because of the way it is chanted, so you can't sing along or repeat after the recording. Very frustrating & disappointing. If the developers were able update the app with different recordings from a more skilled singer, my review would go from 1 star to 5 because the other elements are great.

This app gave me all the tools I needed to learn the trope and begin leyning Megillah for the first time. It's so simple to use!

Highly recommend it. Very easy to use with tikkun, translation, and singing.

I used this app when I was brushing up on my Megillah reading last year and found it to be one of the most well executed apps I think I have ever used. The program looks beautiful, it includes a translation, The text is wonderfully curated, and allows you to easily turn the tikkun on and off for practice just like from a real book. Additionally, the audio recording is beautiful and the word being recited is highlighted, allowing someone who has never read megillah before to easily map the music onto the text. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
