Sefaria Say hello to our new & improved app design
|
|
Hi friend,
My team and I are always working on improving Sefaria for
you. Today I have the pleasure of unveiling significant updates to our
app that will provide you with a smoother, richer mobile study
experience.
If you're already familiar with the
Sefaria app, you'll find that the updated design helps you navigate
through the library with more ease — plus you can access more of the
features you know and love from our website. And if
you haven't yet downloaded the app, we've made it easier than ever to
jump in and start learning on the go.
What can you expect from the new Sefaria app experience?
- Bottom Navigation Bar: With the brand new
navigation bar at the bottom of your screen, you can directly tap
to the library's table of contents, topic pages, search options,
your saved texts, and your account.
- Back Navigation: As you travel through the library, you can use
the arrow in the top left corner to go back to the previous
screen.
- Your Account:
Click on your account in the bottom navigation bar to customize
your settings, get help, and more.
- Expanded Search Options: It just got easier to
find what you're looking for! Choose to view search results
chronologically or by relevance, and use the text category filter
to narrow your search.
- Search Results: Now when you perform a topic or keyword
search, results display a relevant excerpt of text along with its
source. If we have more than one version of the text in the
library, you can click on the 'More Versions' link to see all
options and make a selection. And we've added our text category
color-coding to provide an extra visual cue about each text.
- Text Descriptions: Previously available
only in the resource panel, now you’ll find overviews of each text
category and of specific texts in the table of contents. This
is a great way to get context as you browse. (But if you know what
you’re looking for and prefer less scrolling, we invite you to
skip the Table of Contents and navigate directly to texts via the
search bar.)

Now that we've
covered the big changes, here are a few tips for making
the most out of the Sefaria app:
- Log in to your account to keep track of
your study history and preferences.
- Use the bookmark feature to save your
favorite texts. Return to them anytime through the bottom
navigation bar or in your profile.
- Download the offline library to access every
text on Sefaria with or without an internet connection.
