Ratings and reviews

I really like this app. I can already tell that it is in good hands, and that it has a promising future. However, I will admit that the use of non-Amazigh loanwords (the words for brown, pink, and trousers as examples) is a bit disappointing. Especially given how IRCAM has homed in on linguistic purity when devising its vocabulary for Moroccan Standard Tamazight. Another criticism is the lack of profile customization, but I guess that it will only come eventually. Overall, I really like this app

Continue developing this app by adding more phrases and words. It is a great app!

Not much content yet, but all words are recorded with an actual human voice, not weird ai. The interface is clean and easy to understand. The ads did give me a bit of a scare during the quizzing section though
