Ratings and reviews

Paid but still getting Ads. This is a pretty good app for learning the IPA but even though I'm running the full paid version, it still pops up ads. That's why I only gave it 3 stars. The other reason is that the settings are hard to find in the GUI and it doesn't scale well at all on tablets. The other large complaint is that you can't use it without an internet connection which makes it unusable on a plane, which is a place I would very much like to spend my time learning phonemes.

Very intuitive and useful app. However, there is just one thing I'd like to request, being that I would much appreciate it if you could add Dutch to the language selection. Furthermore, one slight error that I would like to point out is that all German words that start with an 's' is followed by a 'p' , 't' etc and should represent the s as 'ʃ' instead of 's'. This, and adding glottal stop symbols (ʔ) when required would make IPA transcriptions for German more accurate. Otherwise, great app!!!

It can be easy for beginners you pronounce every language like Italian Russian and German.
