  • Awesome! Perfect reference. Two thumbs up!

    Works error-free. Great tool and pocket reference! Must have item for Egyptology enthusiasts and students of ancient hieroglyph writings!
    I cannot describe how pleased I am with this app! Never any lag, issue, or error. Always information found properly & quickly. Love seeing the hieroglyph names ( kings & gods) alongside their variations used over the eras. ( would love to find info on these variations- when used commonly, era period, or sone info to help users determine which is most suited from a search result page?. App is updated regularly and new terms and words added consistently-improving on what I consider my most valuable iPhone tool. As a great fanatic of Ancient Egypt, this app is most highly recommended of all apps to date in the AppStore. The price is nothing in comparison to this app quality and use for any fan, student, or lovers of history! Great work & kudos to this developer!!!

  • great app

    very well done, complete, and easy to use. I wish there could be an iPad version to display those beautiful hieroglyphs even better! Right now, i'm using this iphone version on my iPad. it's a very useful app for people learning middle Egyptian.
  • Aaou Hieroglyphics Dictionary

    Very good application! Very easy to use, very consistent(no freeze ups), and creators do an excellent job of adding words!
  • Doesn't even install

    Version 1.3.2 would not install at all on my iPhone iTouch. Apparently Mess. Dumont doesn't want to be contacted either since he didn't provide any sort of e-mail address for support. Avoid.
  • Excellent App

    Waited a long time for an app like this. Beautifully done, easy to use.
    Thank You!!!
  • Amazing to have an Egyptian Dictionary in your pocket!

    I'm not an Egyptologist so can't speak from that perspective, but I am studying Egyptian with an online group and as a student of Egyptian find this application enormously helpful. Aaou's interface is elegant and well thought out. It makes good use of picker wheels to select hieroglyps or transliterations to search for words. The entries for each word are beautifully laid out, with stunning glyphs for the hieroglyphs, unobtrusive Gardiner sign list encodings of the signs, the transliteration of the signs, and clear English equivalents. The dictionary seems quite comprehensive and often contains alternative spellings (and the author promises to add to the vocabulary). The one nit is that when using the picker wheel in the transliteration search, Aaou performs an incremental search and manipulating the wheels gets a little finicky. But that's a small issue given the power of this application. Update: I reviewed version 1.1.3 just before 1.1.5 was releaeased. The finickiness of the picker wheels in transliteration mode was fixed in the new version. It works very smoothly now. So I've upgraded my rating to 5 stars.
