Not for most people

I assume this app was made for a class somewhere to study with. You can’t understand any of it without some external information. Not that it ever claimed to, but it doesn’t teach you to read, write, or pronounce any for of ancient Mayan language. It doesn’t explain any concepts. It just has some images of glyphs that you can copy and there is a match game. Hard mode on the game is impossible unless you already know how to read Mayan.

Pretty good app

My only complaint is that you can’t see the text or numbers, so using the date system is pretty much impossible

Awesome learning tool

This app is great!, It would be a great resource for learning ancient maya glyphs… but unfortunately it has some important display bugs, making the use of it very hard. We cannot see the column names in the syllabary and calendar for instance. I have tried to contact the developper, but no success, Hopefully He checks this out to make it a perfect app.
