Bedtime Shema -Jewish Children App Reviews

Another fantastic App by Rusty Brick! Thanks!

This app is beautifully done and great for both my kids who are learning the Shema. Thank you

Fantastic App. My kids really enjoy it. Would be nice to add the Asher Yatsar Braha on the "flushing" screen. Thanks!!

My kids are asleep and I havent shown them the app yet but my wife and I were using it and we LOVE it!!! Chazaq ubaruch! May the Neshama have an Aliyah!

Reciting this with your kids is something that they will always remember and never forget so most importantly make sure you spend time reading it with them rather than them using the app alone by themselves. It is a fantastic idea and a wonderful interactive app as all our Torah should be - interactive. I have no doubt that this will be a great merit to the soul if the departed תנצבה and also for those who have been involved with this app and Torah in general to bring merit to the many. ישר כח

Thanks

While the concept is great, every time I try to start the story it crashes. Im hoping this will be fixed.

Such a great idea and masterfully crafted. Our 3year old actually asks to go to bed so he can "brush his teeth". May your mothers נשמה have an עליה from your terrific work.

My boys 6 n 7 lovin the app that now they have me with my phone each take there turn to tuck to bed with this. Greatest part is that now they tryin to learn the veahavta here and they like the song n music. Only thing is the version of boy chanting is too fast n pronounciation. Would facilitate my boys to learn it if it wasnt out of breath fast. Thanks for this app tho!

What a beautiful way to honor your mothers life and the light of Torah she brought to her community. My Maya listens to this every night knowing it was made with Morah Jackies mother in mind. Great job Barry.

I normally dont write reviews, but this one is fabulous! My son and daughter walk around the house singing the songs!! A true gem.

My kids love saying Shema with this App! Its the perfect treat if they go to bed nicely.

I posted notice re release of the app onto Facebook as soon as i recd notification. The response was amazing! So is this beautiful app-great for kids AND adults ( i travel so its a great visual reminder after chkg email/Twitter). The RustyBrick siduur is the best! Thank you for top quality apps! That this is FREE is heavenly (!) May your mothers neshama have an aliyah from this avodah which is truly a kiddush H

I thought this idea was really nice in honor of your mother/grandmother. Its so sweet that her grandkids recorded the shema. Me and my friends talk about how adorable this app is. Thank you for making me able to say shema anywhere I go! May her Neshamah have an Aliyah!!

I enjoy this app but it keeps crashing after they brush their teeth. please fix.

We love this app! Its teaching me and my daughter! Love love love!

There should be a way to turn off the sound so the kids can quietly recite Shema before drifting off to sleep. There are no settings to be found!

This makes our bed time! Thank You. What a beautiful way to remember your mother. May her memory continue for a blessing.

With all due respect, the Shema should be said clearly, not rushed, not with words blending together and all letters pronounced. (Do it over?) The "girls" version is a little better, but again, it is very bad to learn improper pronunciation first - only to need to be re-taught with proper pronunciation later in addition to breaking the habits of saying words incorrectly. Perhaps utilize children ( or grown ups ) that understand how to halachically say the Shema properly; especially since this is the only part of Jewish liturgy that absolutely must be said in Hebrew (first two lines). Ask any scholar or rabbi about this. Better yet, have a rabbi or Torah scholar check the recording before releasing any updated soundtrack. I hope this doesnt offend the kids or the parents of the kids, but this is serious stuff. Nice to see the option to skip the brushing teeth and turning off the light etc. could make it more user friendly after the initial use of the app for continued use, since if a child will be using this night after night for a while, it may become tedious to get right to the business of saying Shema with needing to go through the other "cute" clutter.

Unbelievable learning tool for kids and fun too!
