Megillas Esther Reviews

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

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.

A few issues with MegillasEsther :

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

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.

App is awesome. Sounds and text were perfect

Happy pourim
Thanks for your great app

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

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.

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 MegillasEsther $ 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!

I'm giving it 5 stars. However if you update it so that you can turn the trop and nikudos (vowels) off with one button, it would be a tremendous app for those learning to lain (read) the Megillah.

I hope you consider this suggestion.

Come to think of it, I don't think there is an app that does that. It might a good idea for you guys. A tikun korin app.

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!

MegillasEsther 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!!!

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.

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!

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.

The quality of MegillasEsther 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.

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

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

MegillasEsther 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, 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...

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!
