This is a great start. Has almost anything you need for study outside of shul. Could use a lot more translations and seforim available but an awesome app already. Looking forward to more :)

Thank you for the app. If possible can you add a setting that allows the database to be moved to the SD card? 450 mb of data sitting in main storage area and unmovable, even when the app is moved to SD storage, is difficult to understand. Otherwise awesome program. Gave 4 because of data issue. Thank you

Loved this. Thanks. Very rich compilation of Torah to take anywhere. One suggested feature... I can't see how to open chumash by parsha, but only by perek. (Text, Targum, more.) This makes it hard to do parsha review each week. Thx.

I have been searching for a Torah library app and am happy I found this one. It outshines all the others in user experience. Some areas which still need to be fixed: Lack of copy/paste support. Some books are missing or are present in seemingly random parts . More options to format text to be easier to read. The heading on text pages is too large relative to text. Option to read text in fullscreen would be nice.

5 stars I loved it! Betamidrash is definitely incomparable. There is enough seforim to keep you going for years. With or without translations, with or without nekudos, drill downs for meforshim, bookmarking. What else could a Ben Torah ask for ? Josh and Noah, ashreichem and may the zechus of all the learning be a merit for you and your families ad bias goel tzedek!

I wanted to copy rest to read it aloud but you cannot either for Hebrew or English. It's a real pity not to hear it in audio.
