Ratings and reviews

Rather intuitive. It's hard to say which app is the best. They tend to use different methods that don't work universally for everyone. But this works for me. Slow and fast speech makes it easy to understand while reading. I've used Rosetta Stone, duolingo, etc. Old norse is my 5th language. I also speak French, Norwegian, and I'm learning icelandic. That really helps with old norse, being so closely related. Worth the $4! Tusen takk! Heill ok glaðr, vinr minn.

trying to memorize random sentences doesn't seem to be the best approach. improve the curriculum and I'll give 5 stars. I am so grateful for this app either way.... edit: this is all modern Icelandic isn't it? none of the words from the Old Norse Hávamál I look up are in the dictionary. I'm not absolutely sure it's modern Icelandic, otherwise I'd give it 1 star because that's lying to advertise this as Old Norse. I'm going to research further and report the app if it is. shame on you.

I love the app tho may I say could u make it to where one could type their own sentences or what not and see what it would be I think it would be awsome.
