### 4/5 — Pretty cool, doesn’t post to social media though

*2019-09-20*

Not sure why, it may be my privacy settings. Really like it though.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it is meant to

*2017-05-08*

Not for everyone but helped me learn Aurebesh in about two days. So if you want to learn a script with no practical application this is the app for you.

### 1/5 — Disappointing not as claimed

*2023-04-04, version 1.3.1*

I paid for the app without ads very cheap. But in using the app itself, it is not as it is claim to be, you can only save the text as a photo and then you can send that photo to someone. The only other options it gives you is to send it as a tweet or to Facebook, and would merely save you the a little time in sending the photo instead. 
Its really is disappointing you cannot even cut and paste it, and put it in WhatsApp or even in your text messages. You cannot save the text it has written as it is suggested in the App Store. 
Yes, if you pay the minimal fee it does not have the ads which occasionally did pop up. But I feel I have even wasted my minimal fees on this app.. 
I was really looking forward to this as I had heard so much about it that it is a cool app. Blah blah blah where is in fact it’s not that good. You can’t really do much with it. Even if your friend has the same app, you can’t actually text each other or message each other with it. 
Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — A waste of money.

*2018-10-15*

I bought this app hoping to be able to use the keyboard to send text messages, but that’s not the case. If you copy and paste, it just reverts to English. It also only translates English to Aurebesh (and the other way around). It won’t do other languages.

**Developer response:** Hi Brent4Christ,

Sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with the app :(
Unfortunately iOS doesn’t support Aurebesh natively so it will only work in this app. This is less than ideal but explained in the app description:

“Aurebesh is provided by this app as a font. No other native iOS app supports Aurebesh!  
This means that you can type in Aurebesh only in this app and any other custom apps that support the AurebeshINV font.  
This isn't something that I can control. If you want Aurebesh text in your other apps, contact Apple.”

In the meantime, have you tried exporting the image or posting it directly to Facebook or Twitter?

Thank you,
Bence

### 3/5 — Keyboard Layout.

*2022-11-19*

I would like to be able to add a Aurebesh keyboard. That way you can type your massage in Aurebesh and it could be sent that way. Also so you could add a comment to a post in social media app and make a comment on a YouTube video.

### 3/5 — Thumbs down for ligature

*2022-09-12*

Imo ligature ruins font sets

### 3/5 — Problemas ao copiar, colar.

*2019-11-25*

App copia, mas não cola em Aurebesh.

### 4/5 — Needs and update

*2023-07-26*

Great app but has the special characters for “th” and “ch” that have since been discontinued. Could use an update to chose to turn these characters on or off for translating.

### 4/5 — it could be better: a photo scan please

*2023-01-06*

i wish to scan pictures, 
and automatically translate what is written in english (or french)
exemple: i want to scan what is written in galaxy’s edge, when i visit WDW or D.
i take a photo when i walk in the park, and the app give me the translation.
also to scan a text in a book, or a photo. 
thank you

### 4/5 — Great App, just need one more thing...

*2021-02-01*

I love the app and the interface, I just wish there was some way to include the Aurabesh characters that represent two letters of our alphabet together. It screws me up a bit when I’m trying to translate something and I’m missing those Aurabesh characters.

### 4/5 — I want to give this app a 5 stars, but I can’t because of iPhone X and higher support.

*2020-12-19*

Everything about this app is really cool, but I hate how the Aurebesh keyboard is off. The bottom of the keyboard interferes with the gestures, and that makes it more difficult to type on. The whole layout is basically shifted down, which makes it annoying to type on. Other than that, great app.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2020-04-16*

I love this app for learning the Aurebesh symbols and giving it more uniformity than my doing the Aurebesh symbols by hand.  The reason I give this a 4 out of 5 is it would be nice to copy/paste and keep it in Aurebesh at the paste location instead of going back to the Latin alphabet.

### 5/5 — So much!

*2026-05-31*

Enjoy using this app, since many signs in the Star Wars universe and on Batuu ( at Disney’s Hollywood Studios)  use the Aurebeshian language.  Very interesting to translate between fans, too.

### 5/5 — It’s an Older Code, Sir, But It Checks Out…

*2025-07-16*

It hasn’t been updated in seven years (not since the iPhone X series), but it does what it sets out to do, and you don’t have to subscribe to it for it to be “fully operational.” A mere 99-cent fee turns off ads - and that’s it. It’s hard to find good apps these days that don’t have to be rented to be fully functioning. Don’t wanna pay? You don’t have to - just put up with ugly banner ads.

### 5/5 — Pure fun

*2024-06-06*

Thank you for creating this app. It is pure fun for a fan like me. Keep up the good work!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! Reviews like yours motivate me to keep going!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-09-27*

This is an excellent app i would like to see a sith one in the same as this one, maybe even a huttesse version. I would also be glad to pay for a klingon version. Keep up the hard work

### 5/5 — Must have if you are visiting Galaxy’s Edge

*2023-01-29, version 1.3.1*

Must have for a Star Wars fan especially if you are visiting Galaxy’s Edge as it helps in translating the meany signs. The addition of the ligatures for the written symbols is really a nice purist touch

### 5/5 — Excellent App for translating and writing in Aurebesh

*2022-10-09*

I like the fact that the special characters for digraphs like the English ch and th sounds are included and will automatically translate, and the whole alphabet is shown under info.  It’s fun to be able to read off the walls in Star Wars shows and at Disney.

### 5/5 — Aurebesh Newbie

*2022-06-10, version 1.3.1*

Prominent in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, I had seen this lettering and have since learned it’s existed in the Star Wars universe much longer. Wanting to learn more, I searched apps and this one is by far the best.

### 5/5 — Helps w/ Crossword Puzzles

*2020-01-28*

I’ve been learning Aurebesh by doing crossword puzzles with it. This program is helping me branch out to specific group letters like “th” & numbers.

### 5/5 — Great app when visiting Galaxy’s Edge

*2019-06-16*

The translation from Aurebesh to English works very well and is especially useful for translating signs at Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. The screen with the symbols list is also handy and is a nice way to learn the Aurebesh alphabet.

### 5/5 — Noice!

*2017-07-21, version 1.1*

Great App. If you want to write text in Aurebesh or even a huge Star Wars fan?... this is for you. May as well get the version without adds. Was cheap as chips and runs a lot smoother. Nice one.
