1. Will adjust rating when these issues are fixed.Love the app and how smooth it functions! two things I noticed, I can't remove something from the history bar, (although big ups on keeping so much history) and when I select a pasuk and open commentaries, it keeps that selected text on the top of the page and if I scroll at all (in order to take a screenshot with the pasuk directly above the commentary) it automatically changes the selected text to the text at the top of the page, which I see almost entirely as a glitch.

2. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆Great but no option to change font size or ability to zoom in closer to text for those who are optically challengedUsed to love Safaria but the app has become very slow and buggy and the interface isn't user friendly at all when trying to find a specific passage in the Tanakh or Talmudic reference.

3. It has all the daily prayers (for when you don't have your siddur handy), lots of commentary, and recently I found out when you click on a Hebrew word it gives you all the different translations which is fantastic for studying the original text.

4. But in an age where translations become the channel that students rely on to access the texts, it is all the more important to stick to traditional readings of the texts.

5. If you would like to include "alternative" sources, please make it very clear that I am not studying from non-traditional texts and leave the classic translations as the default.

6. Plus it has now become an official platform for reform and queer "Rabbis", so as a an observant Jew, I will excuse myself from using this app.Sefaria is my library of Seforim that I need but could not afford.

7. It has now become so cumbersome and difficult to use, take forever to load text, and extremely difficult to copy text.

8. Any other translation can be placed as commentary.. Editors - please add a pop up to allow the user to choose/be aware that a non traditional translation was used.

9. There are some significant technical issues since the most recent update however, like the Saved tab duplicating items or the app crashing when I try to open items from the Saved or History tabs.

10. Every time I look something up in the app I have to manually change the translationVery unfortunate, but the content of this app has become corrupted and misleading.

11. Safaria has responded to other reviews on how to change the translation but it's only temporary.
