Ratings and reviews

This app avoids using data transfer, and that's good for being on the move. Instead, you download the dictionaries you want once. However, similarly spelt words do not appear in this app nor in the Android compatible teanglann website. They appear in the Windows and Linux compatible websites. This is essential for a language with as many spelling variations as Irish Gaelic.

Fantastic reference! My only suggestions would be: 1) Enable the app to open teanglann.ie links (I frequently use Anki flashcards that have links to the site, and it would be nice to have them route to the app). Teanglann is so awesome that when studying other languages, I frequently find myself wishing for "Teanglann, but for ". Teanglann allows Irish to punch *way* out of its weight class as a minority language when it comes to reference material.

I love the website. Use it daily while studying. The app, however, is very buggy. On three different devices now, many or most of the words that should be clickable links are not, and the audio does not play for any word in any dialect.

What's new

The latest in a series of continuous improvements to prevent app crashes on certain devices.

An nuashonrú is déanaí chun dul i ngleic le fadhbanna a bhí ag roinnt úsáideoirí agus an aip ag cliseadh ar ghléasanna áirithe.
