  • Love it

    Pro: very accurate and learned a lot. Thousands of translations.

    Con: no relevance filter when searching words.

    Overall: one of the best apps I have, and I believe it is worth buying if you are serious about ancient Egypt!
  • Faulkner In Your Pocket!

    This is a terrific resource, and a reminder of how technology can actually be useful rather that just so much noise and distraction. The interface is intuitive and simple to use, and makes very good use if the iPhone SDK's strengths.

    What is particularly handy is the fact that a translation problem can be approached from different angles (glyphs, transliteration, or English).

    If I had one feature request to make, it would be the addition of a results filter function which would allow the user to remove hits from queries with a large number of results.

    Whether you are a student or simply a hobbyist such as myself, this purchase is well worth your investment.

    Bien fait, monsieur!

  • Useful and well done

    I'm an Egyptology student so I use this app all the time, but it's great for anyone who likes Egyptian. It's incredibly convenient and easy to use. Plus it has a huge number of words so you'll probably find what you're looking for.
  • Indispensable resource

    More readable than Faulkner and goes by Gardiner's sign list. Only a few words I've needed have not been in this dictionary. Totally worth every penny.
  • Awesome

    So worth it!
  • Awesome!

    Can't tell you how many times this has come in so handy. It's like having Faulkner in your pocket all the time, with fonts you can read (sorry Faulkner, I have a tough time with your handwriting).
  • My favorite app!

    This is the best. I use it all the time for my translations. It's so great to be able to pull out my iPhone and find things quickly and easily. I am very grateful to the developers!
  • Talking Hieroglyphics Dictionary

    Please make Aaou LIKE the APP called speak it:to text with real female and male voiceses, only with a hieroglyphic keyboard included and the other features that Aaou has maybe a buit in tuteror also. I WIIL PAY GOOD MONEY FAR THAT APP!!! besides speak it to text only cost a $1.00 but i love it. Please make for old and newer ipod as well until I buy a new ipod or ipad thankyou. ALSO IF YOU INCLUDE A SKETCHING PAD( MODE) TO DRAW HIEROLYPHIC WITH BESIDES A KEYBOARD TO TYPE THEM, IT IS APART OF LEARNING HIEROGLYPHICS THAT WOULD BE AWSOM! THIS CAN BE ONE OF YOUR EXSPENSIVE APPS BUT OK, NO PROBLEM!!!!. We can alway's buy more voice's when we want to upgrade.
    IS THIS APP GOING TO BE ON ITUNES SOON ?

  • Hieroglyphic App.

    I would give this app five stars if only you could enlarge the images since I have this on my iPhone the images are too small. This app comes in handy all the time when I need a translation or a clue as to what is being said on stelae or the like. Translations of whole sentences is something that is needed as well, although I'm still learning how to use this app so it might have this feature already. This is great for testing yourself on where the shapes are listed also. I must say though that out of over a hundred apps this one is my favorite, thank you to all the developers.
