New York – The first iPad only app was released today by Barry Schwartz from Rusty Brick, it is named the iPad Torah. The iPad Torah is basically a scan of the Torah (bible) scroll on your iPad. It adds a few nifty features as well.

I’ve got to say, RustyBrick is a great company. Every frum Jew with an iPhone should have their Siddur app.
What is the practical use for this app? It is not like a Tikun Korim as it does not have the part with Trop.
There is better technology where brain doctors are planting a chip that has the bible in it. Like this you have bible study in your head 24 hours a day.
Is this just for the iPad? Or will this work for the iPhone and iPod Touch as well?
an ipad tikkun would be amazing
These guys are amazing at what they do, Jewish-wise and for businesses!
Does this mean everytime it crashes you have to fast 40 days ?
I’ve got their siddur app on my iPhone. It’s a little hard to read, but it is a wonderful thing to have, especially during morning prayers when there aren’t enough siddurim around.
What is with the siddur app.
I use mincha.com which offers Shacharis, Mincha, Maariv in Ashkenaz or sSefard, AND IT IS FREE! It does not include Shabboss however.
They should make torah ad’s for E-INK.. Reading on E-ink is much more comfortable for your eyes. It doesn’t cause eyestrain.
I can’t wait for more seforim to start becoming available for iPad, such as the English shas, sifrei halacha, mussar, etc, etc. Then I will be buying the iPad…
When they add the trop, every parent with a twelve year old is going to want one! Free bar mitzva teacher!
A tikkun would be great. Troupe Trainer would even be better.
can I make an Hachnosas Sefer Torah with this app and a Ipad?
I was always hoping he would make a tikkun for an iPod touch
