Far from a language course, it serves as a study tool that you can use during those "hidden moments" throughout the day. Considering the lack of decent Amharic learning resources out there, I am tempted to give this app 5 stars. However, I definitely see room for improvement and will leave that last star when I feel it's truly been earned. Great job though and thanks for helping others learn this difficult language. ### 3/5 — Not Working *2015-01-27* I have had this app for several years and it has worked without fail until this most recent update. It will not open. Please fix ASAP. ### 2/5 — No sound *2013-02-02, version 3.2* There is no sound for the Fedel. ### 4/5 — Great but *2012-07-03* I really like this app. It is one of the few apps to learn amharic. I would suggest three things:1) Allow for sound per "letter"without having to narrow down to the group. 2) Have in the settings to allow users to choose if they want the English letters to help with the pronunciation ( i am trying to learn to read Amharic but having the english letters always makes me cheat, it is almost impoosible not to look at the English letters) 3) Add a quiz feature for the alphabet and words Besides these suggestions I think this is the best app to learn amharic ### 4/5 — Pretty good but there is 1 flaw *2012-01-30* Awesome but the only thing is it only has 238 letters while the Amharic alphabet has at least 305 ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2012-01-08, version 2.2* Learned some new vocab! 😄 ### 5/5 — I'm impressed *2011-12-27* I have tried many phase books and computer program to learn Amharic over the years and this is by far the most interesting one. No book can help you if it doesn't keep your attention and if you don't have someone to speak with to improve. This app keeps my attention and allows me to hear what the words should sound like. My wife and daughter better watch out because now daddy will fully understand what there talking about very soon. ### 5/5 — Gobze! *2011-12-04* Really I was so surprised,to see such a great work.I hope so my kids they will learn & they will love it. ### 5/5 — Amharic *2011-09-22* Very well done! Congratulation... I would recommend it for teachers and students alike! ### 3/5 — A start *2011-08-31* It's fun to check on a few phrases and hear the pronunciation, but there isn't much more here. I hope there are a lot more updates to add to the very limited word and phrase lists. Please expand the health section. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Amharic for Facebook *2015-06-24, version 4.9.3* Please don't by if you need for to read Amharic on iPhone. The advertising on Google says ' to read Amharic on Facebook' but it is not. ### 1/5 — Won't open *2015-02-22* After years of working very well, app suddenly will not open now- even after deleting and new download. ### 1/5 — Run away. *2014-08-05, version 4.6* This app is just useless don't wast your money like I did. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2013-06-20, version 3.4* Won't stay open on my phone for more than 3 seconds. A lot of money for a bummy app. Extremely dissappinted ### 1/5 — Crashes!!! *2012-12-01, version 3.1* Since update app crashes. Do not update!!! Please fix app ASAP!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2012-11-29, version 3.1* The latest update crashes and will not launch for me on iOS5 ### 1/5 — mrs *2012-06-27, version 2.3* So boring you could have made it a little interesting,amateur work my kids don't like it just a waste ### 2/5 — Decent but missing components *2019-01-09* The app has decent features but the selling features (puzzle and flash card) are missing. I probably wouldn’t have paid $5.99 if I knew that was the case **Developer response:** Dear Amhariclearner, If you would allow us a belated response, you might be pleased to know that those features are hiding in plain sight! The Letter puzzle is available when you are studying the letters. Tap on the right arrow > when you are in the Alphabet screen. Once you are in the letter view, proceed to tap on the action button on the top right of the screen. Voila! You find the letter puzzle. The flash cards are available in the Vocabulary section. Once you are there, tap on the upward action arrow, and, Voila! the flash cards are at your service. Do feel free to explore these and other feature and drop us a line if you have questions, comments or suggestions. ### 2/5 — Problem *2015-01-16, version 4.9* This application fails to open. Please fix!!!! ### 2/5 — Useless *2014-04-03, version 4.4* No sound or interaction. Just a basic dictionary. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the app *2025-03-15* The app is great, a very quality app. I use it all the time to learn my first language. However there is a problem, in the for you tab it comes up bland with no information all I see is a picture of a subject and nothing else, it maybe a bug that can be fixed. Thanks ### 5/5 — The best app *2017-01-24* I downloaded app and found it amazingly organized, full content and self explanatory. No instructor needed to learn Amharic with this app ### 5/5 — Best app to learn Amharic!!! *2016-06-13* This has been the best tool so far for me learning Amharic! I finally can connect with my ancestors!!! Amhara/Tigari ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-04-26, version 4.9.3* My go-to app for Amharic. ### 5/5 — Best App for learning Amharic. Period. *2012-12-26* I updated. And I love it even more. Well thought-out app. Love it. ### 5/5 — great app but... *2012-12-16* I would like to say that this is the best app you could have in Amharic at the moment. I am very happy with it. but I would like suggest an improvement, the app has a lot of vocabulary, but sometimes when I want to know a word and I search it, the app doesn't have it. example; "cheat" , "mad" and many more. i have a dictionary it's not a problem for me to find these, but it would be nice if the author would add maybe 50 words a month to the vocabulary, it would grow and grow and in time it will even replace my dictionary one day. ### 5/5 — Betam Tru *2012-08-06* Helped out a lot when I went to Ethiopia on business. Still needs more work with the street slang and blending of words. Great app ### 5/5 — Fi *2012-06-26, version 2.3* It iz amazing ### 5/5 — Captain *2012-04-26* I love it. Thank you ### 5/5 — Brilliant..... *2012-02-29* Nice to see an app like this promoting an ancient language. It would be better with a few instructions of how to use the app I think. Love it all the same. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
