The Ancients Hebrew

Worth it!

This app is worth your money and your time! The music and words give you an experience beyond what you imagined it would be. Highly recommended to enlighten your times of meditation.

Could be great with a few improvements

I purchased this app when it first came out, and intentionally waited for many months before writing this review, hoping the developers would implement some updates. I really wanted this app to be extraordinary, as it has so much potential. I’ve never come across a meditation type app focused on the Hebrew Living Letters, and I was thrilled when this was initially released. There are a lot of good things about it, and for me it’s still worthy, in its current version, of 4 stars. I’ll start with some of the good. Visually, the artwork is stunning! There are so many depths to each picture and graphic, and the more one takes the time to look at the detail in each one of them the more they draw you in. The music is absolutely outstanding and each soundtrack for the individual Living Letters is spot on. It’s very easy to sink deep into the sound and my spirit can feel the high vibrational frequency. Although the declarations don’t always flow smoothly in their sentence structure, I do enjoy reading them on a regular basis, and for the most part, it’s not difficult to figure out what is being spiritually conveyed. Now some feedback for the developers. It would be helpful if there was some type of instruction or introduction page to explain a few things about the app. Ex: for people who are new to learning about the Hebrew Living Letters, an explanation about what the numbers mean would be helpful. After the 10th letter, the number jumps to 20 and then through the rest of the Living Letters there’s no obvious reason why the sequence changes. I had no idea what those numbers meant so I had to do an Internet search for each one of them to find an explanation. The punctuation and spelling errors throughout the app are terrible. I get that not everyone is going to pay attention to those details like I do, however, it would be wise to have someone proofread and correct some of the obvious errors. Ex: The declaration for PEI starts out, “ I AM PEH!” A continual play loop through the entire Hebrew Living Letters would be an excellent upgrade so they could be listened to all night long. My last piece of feedback is regarding the meditation narrator. There are options in some apps to choose different voices of narration, as not everyone enjoys the same types of voices. I personally experienced the narrator to be way too intense, and sometimes too overly theatrical, for meditation, especially in contrast to the music. I realize you can turn the meditation voice off and only listen to the music, however; the words that are being spoken by the narrator are profound, beautiful, and full of life and love, giving additional layers of depth to connecting with each letter. Although I often prefer a female voice, there were some letters that my spirit felt would have sounded better listening to a male voice. Regardless, I have yet to be able to fully sink into the meditation when I’m listening to the words being read by the current narrator, even though the script is awesome! It would be great if in the little book icon where the declarations are made, the script of the meditation could also be shared. The voice of the narrator is the greatest reason I did not give this app 5 stars. My app is scheduled to renew at the end of February and I am still on the fence if I will do so. I sincerely hope the developers take some of these points into consideration and make some changes. Thank you for taking the time to read about my experience with this app.
