Forvo Pronunciation

When choosing a pronunciation on iPhone there is not enough time to then hold iPhone to ear to hear it said Also in general this app is in desperate need of a service! The bugs and crashes on iPhone are really obvious just using the app normally you won’t need me to detail them, any update rectify would be really appreciated thanks

I’ve used Forvo for years and even willingly have paid for it. This app has some pros and cons. It’s been updated a few times but there’s still some quality of life things I’ve wanted: an easier way to navigate and add/remove favourited words. Hearting and unhearting words is somewhat cumbersome. There appears to be no way to arrange favourited words in each language or sort them. It would be nice if there were a field where you can write in a few letters to navigate towards those favourite language tabs. It would also be nice to have this when adding a word as scrolling down a hundred languages is slow. These would especially be useful if you have words in many languages. Lately, the app is freezing and crashing within seconds of you doing anything. Sometimes you can add a word or do what you wanted but it is notably less stable than it was. Really hoping there are crash reports!

I enjoy using this app to determine here to pronounce words. Members’ willingness to contribute is fantastic.

I recently came across this great app that has transformed my French pronunciation journey. As a language learner, I've struggled with understanding the varying pitch and tempo of native speakers. However, this app has proven to be an invaluable tool in my language learning journey. The simplicity it this app contradicts its effectiveness. The app has a unique feature that allows native foreign speakers to contribute their pronunciations, giving learners like me the opportunity to focus on the pronunciation that resonates most with us. One of the biggest challenges I faced was grasping the nuances in speech when native speakers talk. But thanks to this app, I can now listen to similar words or phrases spoken by multiple speakers, allowing me to pick up on the subtleties and intricacies of the language. It's truly awesome! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced learner, I believe this app is bound to enhance your foreign language pronunciation skills.

Only a few languages once paid..

Fabuleux. Merci beaucoup !

Forvo is a great concept and a useful app. It is let down a little in the execution, as some sound files are quite poor quality with really bad signal to noise ratios. Definitely worth getting for language buffs, however.

I only want atm to know how to pronounce names in German - reading Buddenbrooks. Can’t find how to do it after downloading app. Just offers translations ?

The response time can be rather slow and it would be immensely helpful to be able to order your favourites however you want. Say you favourite one to ten in a language and you want them in order, if you make a mistake by forgetting one you have to remove each entry and start again. It’s honestly like pulling teeth as it takes a while for the app to realise when you add favourites, remove favourites and what not. It seems like such a small thing but it shouldn’t be the hardest feature to implement. Would be so pleased to see a responsive edit feature!

I would like to be able to add content from the app - I can only only listen to words searched for using a computer. Nevertheless, it is brilliant and audio quality is great.
