  • Works well except…

    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.

  • Inappropriate sounds

    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.

  • Great! Except for one feature...

    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!

  • Sound does not work

    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.

    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

  • Fantastic!

    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.
