Megillas Esther App Recensioni

Great app, easy to follow along. Love that it highlights the “haman”s which was fun for my kids to follow. Love the built in noisemaking features. PLEASE REMOVE THE GUN SOUND! My neighborhood had two men shot leaving shul the week before Purim. Gun sound effects in shul are the absolute last thing we need. Thanks!

The app works very well, is clear and easy to read, and has a nice feature of highlighting the “Hamans”. However, I wish there was a way to make the sound effects minimize or go away, and to hide the offer to buy more sounds. I don’t want to play them and not only have I accidentally hit them many times while scrolling, but it takes up space at the bottom of the screen that I would prefer to have as more text. Other than that though, it’s a great Megillah app and is much more comfortable to read than most of the other ones in the store.

I appreciate that there is a Megillat Esther app that includes gragger sounds, but I was dismayed to find one of those sounds to be that of a gunshot. I live in Pittsburgh and belong to one of the three congregations that were attacked on 10/27/2018. I had to delete the app to prevent me from inadvertently tapping the gunshot icon whenever Haman’s name was mentioned, which might have caused some people at the Megillah reading to panic. Please rethink which free sounds you offer as gragger noises.

Gun and Explosion sound effects are a bad idea to have in a synagogue. Why would you even have those? Use an elephant sound, a car horn, the sound of thunder- ANYTHING EXCEPT WEAPONS!

The sound effects worked at first when I downloaded it yesterday. Today it no longer works. I think the problem is at your end, as I read I’m not the only one with this issue.

I just tried it and this sounds do work!!! If you want 6 additional sounds it is $.99. Absolutely nothing wrong with that!!! Please enough of your fake news.

On your description, it says English.. can’t find it

App is awesome. Sounds and text were perfect

Happy pourim Thanks for your great app

Megillat ester actually comes up and you can read it so they get two starts for that's but none of the sounds work and yes I tried them all and also checked my phone volume. It's a shame, it looked pretty promising but to add insult to injury after the first few sounds didn't work they had a pop up offering me 6 more sounds for the alow price of .99

Use this every year on my iPod. This year I took my iPad and it was even better! Thanks so much for this amazing App! I also use your Siddur on weekday Rosh Chodesh in Shul so I don't have to keep switching back and forth. Love Rusty Brick Apps. Buy them as gifts for my kids and grandchildren.

I was in shul and realized I didn't have a megilah. So I went in to the App Store and searched Purim and within 30 seconds there it was. What a life saver, thanks a million!

Great idea!

Wonderful app

I actually rly enjoyed reading the megillah in synagogue thanks to this app. It was so easy to follow along and the letters were rly clear. The noises were a great touch

This is a great resource and terrific that it's offered for free. It would be great if the gragger sounds were shorter (or if there were a 'stop' button to tap), since they are fun to use but run longer than the average Haman-booing and it is awkward during services. Thanks!

Thank you for makin this app free. It's a real lifesaver A suggestion, Make the sounds not able to go on when my iPod volume is off!! Thank you!!

A few issues with the app: 1. Should be able to adjust the font size 2. On iPad, if device's volume is all the way down, there's no reason why the Haman sounds should play when tapped. Accidental tapping is quite unpleasant, to say the least. Please enable muting 3. Would be helpful to include Edot Hamizrach post-Megillah brachot nusach

This app is very good. Thank you for the מצוה for making it free. The main reason it gets 4 stars is that some if the tropes were missing and wrong. SUGGESTIONS I do think that in the next upgrade you should put the ברכות. You should also put a feature that allows you to zoom into a certain part. Thank you!

The app does everything it is supposed to do. The new features are great. But the best part was my wife trying to figure out why I was texting during the megilla reading. She never imagined that my iPhone could have anything to do with the megilla reading. Hey!! There's an app for that!!!

An iPad Megillah with its own buttons to boo Haman? How can that get less than 5 stars? Of course, everyone in my temple thought I was crazy... But I go to an Orthodox shul, so maybe I am. Happy Purim! Get this App!

I noticed some missing or incorrect trope. Other than that, this is a great app.

להגדיל תורה ישר כח גדול

Thanks!

I love the idea of noise for haman

The best app ever

Wow, those Rustybrick guys rock. An awesome app! Thanks for making it free, a nice Purim present for us. I'm just nervous that if I use it, people in shul will think I'm reading emails the whole time...

Great App - Loved the different sound effects! Some enhancement ideas: Add a Stop All Noise button for those times that you accidentally pressed the wrong button, or if the reader started up again & your iphone is still making the train whistle. I embarrassed myself a couple of times until I got the hang of it. Also would love an optional split window with English to help with those tough words I don't know in Hebrew.

Nice app, thanks. Easily readable and scrollable text

Happy Purim!

Only problem is a bug that makes a noise keep going off randomely. Please fix! Thanks.

Great app! Well done

Will use it next Purim. I do have two suggestions: add the brachas, and the psukim that are said outloud could be in a different color to help people like me who always forget. And one request - I'd love it if you could add dogs barking to the sounds!

To the second writer ( the one who said you don't have a kosher megilah)- you need a Kosher megilah to be יוצא.

Only thing that could add to this would be to have the brachot before/after the reading included (with choice of nusach, of course :-) ).

Another Great App, as expected. HUG SAMEYAH !!!

The quality of this app is excellent, and I really appreciate the mitzvah you've performed by providing it for free. The only thing preventing me from giving it 5 stars is the lack of an English translation.

The font/layout looks nice and is easy to read, the scrolling is smooth, and the grogger noises are cute. It would be nice if there were a way to jump to the beginning of a perek, though.

Not wanting to make a big Megillah about this Megillah (grin), but Barry @ RustyBrick has done it again.! His free apps are just as wonderful & feature-rich as the app$ he charges for. I make it a point to buy all his Judaic apps - there's still a few I need to get, but they are on my "must buy" list. Thanks, Barry for another gift to the Judeo-iPhone community!

Every RustyBrick app is a must have for all religeous Jews. This has just become my primary megilla :) The built in grogger is just brilliant. Thanks guys!

This app is the best app ever

Wonderfully done! Cannot be made better.

This app is so cool and so amazing I love it and can't wait to use it, and thank you so so much for making it free. Looking for more like these. Once again, Thanks alot!!!

WOW great job beautifull graphics. What a nice gift in time for Purim you guys are amazing love all your apps own them all

Now I have to buy a silver case for my Megilah iPhone

Great megilla app especially since this is free!!

This is great I want to see more stuff like Torah siddur ...

This is the best thing ever made

Another wonderful app from rustybrick. Easy to use and lots of fun.
