Every time I open this app, it immediately shuts down. I don't know why but this needs to be improved. Please fix this!!!
This is a great app. Love that you can record and play back. Really is helping in pronouncing the phrases correctly. Also my wife is from Hong Kong and she confirmed this is cantonese. Kind of a relief because I bought it and then looked at this review section.
It is fun and easy to use. Very helpful.
My wife is cantonese and doesn't recognize most of the words the app is trying to say. It is useless to learn a language if a native speaker will never understand u due to incorrect teaching.
Good to learn with
This is my updated review. I have the full paid up version. The company fixed some major flaws with version 3.2, such as replacing the muffled speaker with a thick Mandarin accent with a clear Cantonese speaker; adding a complete set of phrases and pictures; and correction most of the pronunciation mistakes. I commend the company for making these improvements on what used to be a mediocre product. Some small gripes include a lack of stability in iOS; the use of Cantonese pinyin instead of Yale romanization; it would benefit by having the option of multiple word banks; I would like to see a larger database of words for food and drink; and the lack of synonyms when there are more than one word for an item (eg. mother, garlic, 21). My major gripe is the use of literal rather than colloquial words; it's a significant enough limitation that would prevent me from giving it more than 3 stars. Hong Kongers just don't use the vocabulary that make up several hundred of the words in this version. It's a stilted vocabulary that is academically correct when written but is never used in daily dialog. It's frustrating that this course isn't trustworthy enough to use without a dictionary to find out which is which. If they can address the latter issue, I would be happy to give my full recommendation this course.
I downloaded lite ver. and it will constantly freeze while update. The update would restart in the middle, and i cannot even delete the program during update process. This is very frustrating.
Looks like some of the pronunciation has been fixed. The male voices are still either muffled or off, but the main female voice is spot on with all the pronounciations. If the next version uses her voice for all the words then I will give a five star rating
This is Mandarin with the characters pronounced in a Cantonese way. It’s not real Cantonese. Disappointing
