IPad

Wanted to try the app out but it did not have an iPad version, so only supported portrait view.

Good to have a way to start Te Reo Maori

Been looking for apps for te reo and have struggled to find anything I’d use. There are apps for kids which are either too advanced or they use vocab aimed purely at children.
I like the first two levels of Aki. I managed to pick things up and just kept playing until the words got more reflexive. Thanks.

I’m really struggling with the verbs. I dunno if that’s because I must’ve heard some of the nouns before somewhere whereas I haven’t heard nor understood verbs before ... or if it’s just too hard, and the verbs are too long? Either way, it would help if that section could be broken into two shorter sections.
Personally, I’d like to do one section entirely using whaka- verbs.

A note to someone who said cinnamon and salt-shaker aren’t words they’d use much: actually I found each word to be very common for a kiwi kid. Cinnamon often goes on a pineapple fritter or a hot milky drink (cappuccino, hot chocolate, etc) - so you’ll want to know the word to say if you want it or not - and salt goes on most things - when you set the table you’ll be expected to know it and when someone asks you to pass the salt they’ll expect you to know - salt-shaker.

I hope they’ll keep expanding this app and/or others like it so we can all learn te reo, wherever we are.

I loved this app - please add more

This is a fun and engaging way of learning vocab for Te Reo Māori and there aren’t many similar apps out there. Loved every detail - animation, voice-overs, sound fx etc. only thing that could be improved is perhaps word choice, I found it an odd prioritisation (esp for the verbs). the game is very addictive so I sadly finished it within two days. Please add more levels and vocab!
