Ratings and reviews

Love the simplicity and the ability to check clan relations with others. 👏 Will be helpful to see how friends and family are related clan wise. It's also helpful that k'é terms are added to check translation. Feedback: A lil navigation tutorial when first entering the app. It would be helpful to those not very tech savvy to learn how to navigate the app without clicking everywhere to figure it out :) I was able to understand it right away, but others may have a lil trouble a first.

I find this app highly useful in advancing Navajo language and culture by teaching Navajo clans and related kinship terms when used to compare against clan information collected from other Navajos. For those who have a hard time remembering their clans, the app works well as a memory device to keep track of the info. Since kinship terms change based on age and gender, this app does a very good job at teaching those terms based on those variables.

Very helpful!
