Crashes on every search

You can search English to Egyptian; that works. Egyptian to English, however, does not work. The app crashes every single time. I have deleted it and applied for a refund; but my advice would be to save yourself the bother.

Anubis approves this!!

Great app

Amazing Tool

I am learning how to use some parts of it.

Great application.

This is so nice to be able to translate with this app.
Wanted to learn hieroglyphs for a long time and this is yet an extra good tool for it.

Amazing app! Have used it for the last few years! Thank you!

Good for students

This simple to use hieroglyphic dictionary allows you to look up words from the user language and Ancient Egyptian. It could be improved by the addition of a standard transliteration font for the look up, but it uses other standards such as Gardiner’s sign list so it is a useful tool. I have been using this app for several years now, and find it handy to double check my work when translating.

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!

Great App for serious student - 5*

Easy to use, great features and transliteration modes. For serious student rather than novice.

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.
