Pros and cons of Hebrew Alphabet - Ma Kore app for iPhone and iPad

Hebrew Alphabet - Ma Kore app good for

I like the format and the look of it all. I like how the characters have been simplified and/or amplified so I can learn the subtle differences between them. The audible pronunciations are great and seem genuine, not American. The play button is all wrong though. It looks nice and big but the sensitive area is quite small. I am constantly opening or closing the dropdown instead of playing the audio. This needs to be fixed. Any screen area left of the words should count as the play button. I would also like to see an option to turn off the transliterations as they only seem to encourage a dependence on them. I want to depend only on the correct audio pronunciation not a converted English pronunciation.
I am a total beginner in Hebrew and this app seem to be very good for my level. Thanks!

Some bad moments

Really nice aleph bet primer. Would be nice to see it build into simple vocabulary too.
I was really excited about this app, but when I clicked on the play buttons to hear the sounds of the letters, IT DOES NOT WORK! Please fix this app!
Not too shabby....biggest thing for learning a new language is letters, vowels, consonants, and the sounds they make...as for just learning those plain basics...this is a pretty cool program...now if only I HUAC learned this as a child instead of in my twenties
Excellent app for learning basic Hebrew alphabet. The quiz section is wonderful with visual and audio repetition. Makes learning quick, easy and fun. If you are new to Hebrew this is a great, portable way to master the alphabet! (version 2.2)
It was alright but some of the hebrew letters dont look how theyre supposed to so you learn them the wrong way
Not what I thought it was. Wish I had not downloaded it. It sounds better than what it is.
