ArtScroll Digital Library for Android

App crashes immediately after opening Version 8.00

1. With the most recent features (I have this for 5 years before the subscription package). I can at times get lost via Hyperlinks (my own fault). But if a footnote can pop up that convenient screen use, if it’s another sugya and I can see the footnotes I can read them. If it references another masechta I don’t have to exit to bring it up or at times faster getting my hard copy. 2. Outside of Birchas Hamazon, certain brachos, and Kryas Shma Al Hamita a siddur is pointless and feels wrong. I feel the calendar, tefilin mirror, Av Harachamin, Mishebeirach are not used by 99%. Personally davening should be done zoomed in on a Sidur or eyes closed Baal peh. 3. I strongly recommend a tech consultation from Amazon Kindle skilled programmers. A. On a 9-10’ screen 25% font changes are very large jumps. They should be between 5%-10% increments. The app should be available on laptops and desktops as well. B. The free mishnayos without the meforshim and the Shas don’t know the purpose. C. Switching Sefarim…when you want to simply switch getting to one’s library it is overly time consuming and has nothing to do with download speed. D. Less frequent updates and when updated that should become the definitive app edition. If space is required and I want to remove a book to cloud storage (a) incredibly time consuming don’t know why. (b) If I add it back all updates from whichever basic edition was initially installed are re-installed. After 5 years that’s five years of updates. E. I’m also fine with musar sefarim. Significant issues A. I see coming soon Chumash Rashi! I feel Torah shebechtav on the tablet is not necessary at all, and that includes all in depth Rishonim on Chumash or Nach. Outside a Tanach source…the only series addition you may want to Add is Yerushalmi, or the Yad Avrahom Mishnayos. B. The Weekday Sidur…is truely pointless. But there are definitely excessive features. I don’t need a menu for siddur settings, with zmanim, a compass, and tefillin mirror. There are way too many settings options…one for the Sidur, one for the Chumash- it was when the Chumash was added that I realized this is not a good idea…I believe it’s the Stone with whichever meforshim the user wants displayed and wear. Definitely excessive and impacts over all performance of the app. C. Advise consult with similar App Developers like Kindle which though there are no updates is 2022 speed, while navigating from Sefer to sefer, removing and adding in ArtScroll is like a landline telephone connection in 1999.

I use the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch in the app, and when I go to scroll one part whether it be the English or Hebrew it scrolls all three. What ends up happening is the sub notes are not at the correct place

Content is great but needs major change. It’s very slow and glitchy. Looks and feels 10 years old. Artscroll support answered me months later, and their response had nothing to do with my problem. Artscroll pls invest more resources. Especially if we spend over 1k for this content.

It is great to have the Artscroll library on my Mobile. It would be great to have a Android app to be able to study using my 27-inch monitors for easier reading and research.
