SPACED REPETITION
Built-in SM-2 spaced repetition tracks what you know and what you don't. Words you struggle with come back sooner. Words you've mastered fade into longer review intervals. Rate each card as Again, Hard, Good, or Easy.
HEAR THE WORDS
Tap the speaker button on any flashcard, guided study card, or word detail to hear it pronounced with Modern Israeli pronunciation. It uses the Hebrew voice already on your device, so it stays small and works offline. For a higher-quality voice, download one in Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices → Hebrew.

I bought this thinking that there was a dictionary element in it. There is not. I wanted a dictionary but did not get one so if that’s what you want don’t waste your money. This may be of use to those who are learning Hebrew, but don’t expect a dictionary.
Developer Response
Correct, this is not a Hebrew Dictionary. It is a flashcard application. We can look at adding dictionary functionality if that would be valuable.
• Biblical Aramaic is here! An optional one-time unlock adds all 675 Aramaic words from Daniel, Ezra, and Jeremiah 10:11, in three study tracks: Core Vocabulary by frequency, Reading Daniel, and Reading Ezra
• The Aramaic tracks use the same flashcards, quizzes, matching games, and spaced repetition you already know.
