Te Aka Māori Dictionary

This is not helpful for everyday use when learning te reo. For most searches, far too many results come up, many of which are irrelevant. There’s nothing to indicate which is likely to be the most applicable. For example, a search for “dirty” brings up 19 results. Search results sometimes don’t include the most obvious word. For example, a search for “cook” does not bring up “tunu”. This App seems designed for academics and not for those trying to learn the language and to use it in their lives. A Google search is usually more helpful. Also there’s no ability to easily go back to your previous search. You either need to type it in again or exit and then re enter the App to see it in your recent search history.

I've learnt so many words and the grammar explanations are very helpful. The favourites system is very good, and one thing I think would fit in well would be the addition of a feature that allows you to put words/phrases/grammar into lists. The lists could be given custom names by the user and then use them as flash card decks. If this fits the direction the creators of this app are going for, I know I'd make good use of this kind of feature. For a set like this, being able to download the voice recordings of how it's pronounced and accompanying images would be helpful.

the app is not showing up in family sharing??

I’m a Te Reo Māori beginner and this app is so helpful. I’m building my vocabulary and when I don’t know a kupu I quickly look it up on Te Aka. Here’s a few tips for the developers to make the app even better. 1. Please make the recent search list longer. 2. Adding phrases/kiwaha would also be a great feature. 3. Theres a mistake with ‘Kēmu ātea’ the pronunciation is incorrect. It doesn’t match the word being searched for. I think she is saying ‘Takaro a tāta’? Or something simialr, instead of ‘Kēmu ātea’ Ngā mihi

Will be even better when you can search for phrases in the kupu examples. A pātene that lets you go back to the previous search would help.

I’m not to sure why I have 3 payments going to use when it only said $6.99 then I’m charged the next day $1.69 & $11.49 Why am I charged so much for for this App..?? $20.17 in total I do have screen shots.. 29/08/2022 - $6.99 30/08/2022 - $1.69 30/08/2022 - $11.49 If this what happens when I buy this app maybe use need to say that at the start..

How do I get a refund? I fully expected something I could flick through yet all I can do is search

I wanted this dictionary to know the meaning of place names around New Zealand. The first 4 places to visit aren’t included.

I use this many times a day - it is very useful and dependable. Suggestion for developers- i can’t copy and paste from the app on my phone. It could be great to just be able to tap on the word or the description and have it instantly copy. That would make it a 5 star experience:) Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou.

Handy app to have! I find no issues with this app and would like to acknowledge the fact that the developers continue to listen to the feedback of customers. The developers have allowed the app to open and close where you finished off, they provided alphabetical order for the favourites list and they provided the use for the app to be used offline. My most liked feature about the app is the ‘favourites’ button. I use this app on both my iPad and iPhone.
