This is the perfect way for me to study the Torah anytime and anywhere great job
★★★★★
Tikkun On/Off It would be nice if the Android version worked like the Iphone version. Functions like pausing and the ability to choose between Tikkun on and off would be great additions.
★★★★★
Easy access to translation Great app for accessing parsha with translation, pasuk by pasuk, aliyah by aliyah. I don't use the chanting function so can't comment on that, but it would be nice for app to retain the translation setting (yes or no) so I don't have to select it every usage.

Pocket Torah Very great app to use, I also like the fact, that the voice reads the Hebrew translation of the Torah and the prophets. I currently use this app both on IOS and Android, and I have never had any problems. I definitely reccomend to download. G-d bless to everyone here and the creators and supporters of this project.

Great idea......but not there yet... Using with Android and Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android version 4.1.2. My first issue may be the cause of other problems, I don't know. When I downloaded, it gave an error message of Alert 404, so I don't know yet what this means. So, I experienced an inability to find any audio controls to stop or pause the chanting, the chanting started and ended randomly and did not match the highlighted words, I could not find the audio files. For the audio files, I looked in voice recordings, music player, internet downloads, and where ever it may be, I could not locate it. I was hoping that somewhere it might be downloaded and have an obvious label such as Emor Aliyah 4; no such luck. I was looking for a quick way to bookmark and found no such feature so I could return to a specific line. I was looking for the Torah version, but could also not locate that anywhere to practice without the vowels, etc. Basically, this seems to be an alpha version. I just wish those who engage in such endeavors would join forces so that instead of having several applications that don't meet all needs, we could have one that actually meets the needs.
