Ratings and reviews

Excellent app! This should definitely be used while using a book or course. This app gives plenty of challenges to review and test what youve learned. One addition which could be made is perhaps translating or even building a sentence or paragraph by inserting the correct form of a word. Im content with its present state but will look forward to updates!

Unquestionably one of the best resources available for any philologically keen student (and teacher, in my case) of Old Norse, and very usefully paired with traditional grammars such as Gordon and Barnes. An enormous amount of thought and streamlining has gone on under the hood to provide all of the key grammatical and linguistic info with accuracy and conciseness. The exercises are a highly accessible way to train vocab and inflections simultaneously. An invaluable resource for all learners!

So it seems very useful, the only issue is that the audio doesn't seem to work? Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong, but when I press on the example texts there seems to be no audio
