How to change the font size?
In the settings view, there is an option to change the font size (just above the preview). Slide it left/right to change the font size.
Note:
There is a problem in version 1.5.2, and this option got hidden, so unfortunately you can't change the font size.
A new version is already available in the app store that fix this problem.
Please update your application to the latest version.
Sorry for the inconvenience. -

Can I perform a complex search using wildcards?
Yes. A percent symbol ("%") in the search pattern matches any sequence of zero or more characters in the string. An underscore ("_") in the search pattern matches any single character in the string. Any other character matches itself or its lower/upper case equivalent (i.e. case-insensitive matching).

How to move to a new Chapter/Parasha?
There are 2 ways to move between Chapters/Parashiot:
1. In the top right corner, there are 2 arrows, these will allow you to move to the next or previous Chapter/Parasha.
2. In the top left cornet, there is a button with the title of the book. Pressing on it will show you the selection wheel. When done, press on the top left button again (which is now titled 'Select Chap.'/'Select Parasha'). -

In order to download the translations, you have to go to the settings panel, and then choose the Bible Language.
Once you choose English or Heb. & Eng. you will be asked to approve the download of the English translation.
Once you choose Onkelus or Heb. & Onk. you will be asked to approve the download of the Onkelus translation.

Can the english text be downloaded from the app store? The app says I need to download it via WiFi.
The English/Onkelus translations cannot be downloaded from the app store as they are coming form Machon Mamre website.
I can't distribute their files with my application, but downloading it later from within the app is ok.
WiFi is not a must - the files are 1.5-3.5MB, so if you have an unlimited data plan - go ahead and download via 3G.. -

There is no Hebrew keyboard in the iPad, how can I search in Hebrew?
Since it wasn't clear if the first version of the iPad will include Hebrew keyboard, I haven't added any special keyboard.
Now that iPad was released (without Hebrew keyboard), I'll work on adding some kind of Hebrew keyboard..
An update will be releases as soon as possible.. -

I can't find Nevi’im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings)?
If you reached this state, you probably selected the Onkelus language of the Bible (or Hebrew with Onkelus)
Targum Onkelוs is only available for Torah, and therefore the option to see the other books is not displayed.
To go back and see the other books, you have to set the language of the Bible back to Hebrew or English. -
