Not specified if Irish or Scottish Gaelic

That’s an important distinction.

Nees more work

It’s good to see any app helping the user to learn Gaelic but this app need some more work to be useful. See the Amazon recruiter reviews to read about the original paper version - rather out of date. I find the etymological approach fascinating but not always easy to understand with my basic comprehension. Where this really fails is that there are no instructions, no pronunciation recordings, and you cannot move the vocabulary cards around so as to repeat the words you find difficult to learn. As regards no instructions, I don’t understand the nomenclature of the initial dictionary entries with the prefix ++. I would have thought that the ability to self test and repest what you haven’t learnt (randomising these cards) would not require major work and would make this app useful. Keep at the development please!
