Terrible

The app does not even open on my Ipad. What a shame. And I paid for it.

Won't open

Can't open it on my IPad pro.

App wouldn't even open

Waste of 99 cents.

Is it this App working on IOS 9.0

It is crashing everying time I am trying to open this on my IPhone 6 upgraded to IOS 9. Is this a known problem.

Excellent app - worth every cent

Don't go on negative reviews if you are ESL student. It is far better than some expensive apps and very useful.

Buyer

Save your money and just search syllable division on the web. However, it does offer a nice word list of syllables. Read description carefully it might be a nice read - it is short.

More time

We need more time between two words to process the word. I lose my consantration after two or three words.

Big Help for ESL Students

As an English teacher, I've often been asked why syllable stress is so random in English. When you think of PHOtograph, phoTOgrapher and photoGRAPHic, I can see why ESL students are confused. It turns out that there are a couple of simple rules, so with syllable stress out of the way, students can then focus on the other aspects of English.

Record button is not available on iPod

The recording option is a very useful funtion and should be available on iPod also.
