WHY IT EXISTS
Ibaloi is classified as an endangered language, with fewer active speakers each generation. Existing print resources are scarce and hard to access outside the Cordillera. This app puts a rigorously sourced, free, offline dictionary and translator directly in your pocket.
No Ibaloi content is generated or invented — every entry traces back to a verified source.
PRIVACY
The app works fully offline. The only data that leaves your device is feedback you explicitly submit through the in-app "Give feedback" form — and the name and email fields there are optional. See the in-app Privacy Policy for full details.
Feedback and corrections are warmly welcomed — tap the Feedback button anywhere inside the app.
