Changes

I don’t like the fact that the sentence goes back to the start when highlighted read to copy( can’t do it) also when you copy the sentence moves to the start and you can copy properly

Pretty good.

I use it a lot. I like that it has multiple languages. What I don’t understand is why it goes silent every few minutes and I have to reboot my iPad to get it to speak again, maddening!

★★☆☆☆ Canada · v1.5.7 · 29 Apr 2021

I think it does ok

I think it does ok in comparison to how many different words there are out there, however it pronounces them based on spelling and not on how it is actually pronounced. For example (Hermes) it says it as (her-mees) when in fact it is pronounced air-mez.

My findings.

When I type in a word and it shows as unrecognized, this app will still pronounce it. It seems, at times I am hearing a British pronunciation of a word. But not always. Is there a set standard?

Rate this app with me

I gave it a 4 because it is really helpful but you just forget about it so if you forget I definitely recommend it but if you do forget, I don’t recommend it But if you don’t know how to pronounce a lot of words I would give it five stars. It’s just I just forget about a lot so I don’t really use it, but I hope you like this app

This is a great app but one thing

Overall this is a very helpful app but sometimes in the middle of a sentence being pronounced ads show up. Obviously I know you have to pay to stop the ads, to be honest I generally don’t mind the ads it’s just it is annoying when in the middle of a pronunciation.

Mispronounced 1st word

I typed in my name. It’s French and 900 years old. Completely botched it. I wonder how many other people are being affected by this inaccurate app 🤔 So I tried “tchoupitoulas” it was pronounced as chop-a-gal-is. It’s actually pronounced chop-a-tool-is 🙄

★☆☆☆☆ Canada · v1.5.8 · 7 Nov 2021

It’s too bad that this app does not work

When you put in a word and then get the pronunciation is incorrect. It would be helpful if they would break down the pronunciation. The pronunciation given is either very slow or if you pick fast it is very fast and unintelligible. Do not like to give bad reviews but I was hoping it is out which which doesn’t.

Great Learning Tool!

I'm using this app to learn my German Conversation piece for my exams, and it's been very helpful! The only improvements that could be made are a pause button for recordings and a feature which allows the user to change the order of the statements in the favourites tab. Otherwise, a great app, keep up the good work, a patch to fix the problems noted in my review would be greatly appreciated. Callum, 15
