Not 100% the words of God.

It’s clear how people wrote things and said this is from God.

Why is this no longer available in Canada App Store??

App not functioning

I can’t get past the dedication page.

Hashem should open his hand and bless the men and women @Sefaria app.

Always looking for the best sacred text apps

This is definitely the winner for Judaism. One feedback: I do wish the dark mode could go even darker. 😅

A Miracle of Technology and Spirituality

We had to wait 3000 years until the technology caught up with the wisdom found in the Jewish texts going back to Moses and before. There is no arguing that the Jewish people and fellow travellers can now all participate in the kind of global synagogue this app makes possible. The technology is also top notch, and should serve as the foundation for all of human knowledge to eventually be available in an app such as this. Sorry, but as the Hebrew Bible serves as a foundation of Western Civilization, so should Sefaria serve as the fou dation for what comes next.

Uh, what happened?

It started glitching a lot after the last update, it won’t let me download the offline library, please fix it.

So clear!

The app is so clear! The font and layout is just beautiful! So easy to read and understand! So lovely to look at! Even dark mode is included! This app is such a blessing to those of us who don’t have the books or even for those who do but want to learn on the go. Bless this developer, I feel so lucky to have this app. Now please make a Siddur and Tehilim combo this beautiful! Your app is the cleanest and most pleasing to look at out of any Sefer learning app I’ve downloaded! Toda Raba!!!!!

Amazing resource!

This app is a blessing for those who lack knowledge of Hebrew and are also interested to learn more about Judaism and the beliefs which it has developed and adhered to through the study of Torah. Definitely helpful if you value collections of insightful commentaries, and wish to have a deeper knowledge of the message God has for mankind which He delivered through Moses and preserved in the hearts and minds of sages. Do not hesitate to learn from this, you will not regret it.
