zero stars
horrible app. very polluted and doesn't do anything. waste of money. so annoying...
Wish it will be good
Still didn't use it.but it keeps asking me to review it.So I am here!
So much in this App!
I have no problem with the sound of this App. Make sure your mute button on the side of your phone is off! I have been teaching awhile, but it is so helpful and important to have the proper pronunciation of phonetics handy. It is also super cool to record your students and let them hear their improvements. There is a lot more in this app I can't wait to explore and use in my classes. Love it!
Disappointed
There is no sound.. The buttons do not do anything and it makes me mad i wasted my money on an app that doesn't even work. I wish I had realized this was not American English before I had purchased it. But it doesn't work anyway so guess it doesn't matter
I couldn't hear a thing
No sounds, just dummy buttons.
Great introduction to the IPA!
This is a great introduction to the IPA. Games can be played to quiz yourself; it makes learning fun. Suggestions for improvement: 1-I would love a database of more words. 2- I would like the quizzes to have a random order when they generate their questions. 3- Even though I am American, I like having British sounds, because you can work with more phonemes. Having an American set of words would add to the challenge,learning, and appeal. 4- could diacritical marks be included? 5-In brief, this is a great tool for a teacher in England working with younger students! It is fun to play with and well designed. I am glad I got it! However, if you live in north America and already know a lot about the IPA, the ap could be a disappointment. It needs more words to keep an adult engaged. An enormous amount of words in a expandable database would make this ap a treasure!
Good but lacking
Good, but missing a few phonemes I think. (ou diphthong) ("er" as in the upside down e with a tail) and a few others. Please keep adding! Such a good app for phonetics classes!
Useful and varied app--you'll remember IPA.
I had a hard time remembering all the IPA symbols during celta teacher training. This app helps me remember while I'm on my way to work in the subway. The minimal pair activities are great.
Bad
Doesn't run properly
