## Review summary

Overall, users praise The Zohar for its strong audio readings, clean UI, and daily-study features, and note it’s free to use. Major repeated drawbacks are connectivity/startup issues, translation quality concerns, unreliable alarms, and update-related bugs. There are also calls for multilingual support (notably Spanish). The app is valuable when functioning, but stability and language accessibility need improvement.

### Pros

- High-quality audio readings of the Zohar in Aramaic with fluent narration.
- Easy-to-use, beautifully organized user interface that is easy to navigate.
- Free to use with no noticeable in-app purchases.
- Accessibility and daily-study support, including anytime Zohar access and time-based sectioning for study.
- Annotations, explanations of weekly readings, and extra background content.

### Cons

- Recurring connectivity startup issues; the app often reports no internet or requires internet on first use even when connected.
- English translation quality is criticized; translation/interpreter's choices can obscure the original text and mix translation with exegesis.
- Alarm/notification features are unreliable; alarms do not work for some users or are hard to enable.
- Maintenance/updates cause bugs or prevent the app from opening; long-standing reliability problems after updates.
- Lack of Spanish language support; requests for Spanish translation noted in multiple reviews.
