Hebrew Lessons by eTeacher (Free)
Watch videos of free Hebrew lessons led by real Hebrew teachers, or join an online course. A good introductory series, though you’ll have to pay for an online teacher to go further, beyond alphabet drills, introductions, and other basics.
Learn Hebrew – Language Teacher for English Speakers ($19.99)
Includes alphabet, word, and phrase lessons. There is a big focus on pronunciation. To give the right answer, you must record the Hebrew word into the microphone. Good for those who want to improve their Hebrew accent. It’s hard to get the pronunciation right – the words I got right were “shalom” and “ken” (yes and peace), so I suppose those could come in handy.
Learn Hebrew – WordPower ($9.99)
Has 2000 of the most common Hebrew words. Good for vocabulary drills, though the user interface is a little clunky. You study sets of words in a category such as Weather or Travel, then you select them for your Word Bank and can take a quiz on the selected words. Would be more useful to me if phrases and dialogues were also here, so I could get more context for using the words.

Decent free app to start learning Hebrew. Flashcards with audio, English word and Hebrew word. A good start. Includes a translation tool and quizzes. Really need the paid version if you’re serious.
