### 2/5 — Ray

*2022-03-28, version 1.8*

Needs to hear Kaupapa

### 3/5 — Spelling

*2021-03-10, version 1.8*

If I don’t know exactly how a word is spelled it is very difficult to find.
Also an expression wth more then on word in it, hard to find.
How do find good morning, morena?

### 4/5 — Good app so far

*2017-09-10, version 1.8*

Seems pretty good so far and I like that it has phrases as well as words

### 2/5 — Worst pokies ads ever

*2016-11-17, version 1.8*

Can only use offline. Ads cover screen and take you out of app.
Also annoying that search bar vanishes when searching, requiring a click back. Probably something to generate more ads!!

### 4/5 — Great

*2016-01-06, version 1.4*

Great. Just wish it had voice recording of Maori words.

### 2/5 — Messy

*2015-02-15*

Don't know where the content came from, but it needs a lot of cleaning up! Looks mostly like junk scraped off the web. In addition to random abbreviations and some content from a French dictionary, there are some expressions in there which are translated word for word and lose all meaning, etc.

Some examples of the messy content:

AP kia
AP kia
AP

a A1
a A1
and A1
a: and, the, of, by 
A1: A1, A1 which

### 1/5 — Pronunciation

*2020-03-03, version 1.8*

Terrible pronunciation of kupu, will not recommend if trying to learn how to speak te reo

### 1/5 — Can’t hear the translation

*2018-12-12, version 1.8*

There is no button to press to hear the translated word

### 1/5 — Awful

*2017-05-26, version 1.8*

Bad pronouncing in maori and English

### 1/5 — Awful audio

*2017-03-14, version 1.8*

Absolutely awful audio pronunciations of the Māori language.

### 1/5 — Mmm

*2017-03-12, version 1.8*

Too many ads.

### 1/5 — Paid $$$ and still getting ads

*2016-09-09, version 1.8*

Good app but paid to get rid of advertising but they still there!!!

### 1/5 — Maori Dictionary

*2015-08-03, version 1.1*

I was really excited, but couldn't get this app to open on my iPhone 3. :-(

### 1/5 — Pronunciation

*2015-07-09, version 1.1*

I love it. I do find your pronunciations are not all entirely correct but I don't use that part. I love the package. It is free , for that I thank you very much. 
I use the dictionary a lot. I also like the English extensions in the words. 
Well done. You have done so much work into giving a Māori dictionary that is so easy to use. Mihi atu ki a koutou.

### 1/5 — Kudos for effort!

*2015-02-06, version 1.0*

It's great that there's an app for this BUT the problem is that this is a literal translation of word-for-word. The phrases from English to Te reo Māori does not make the grammatical changes required to make it correct.

### 1/5 — Mr Can Iwi

*2014-12-08, version 1.0*

.????.

I love this app! Māori is a beautiful language

### 5/5 — Loving it.

*2020-06-09, version 1.8*

It’s so easy to use and has great definitions.

### 5/5 — BEST BI LINGUIAL TRANSLATION DICTIONARY. EVER!!!

*2019-11-09, version 1.8*

This is such a useful bilingual dictionary to use. It's very functional and easy to swap between the two languages. It also has a wide range of words in Te Reo.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-02-15, version 1.6*

This is really helping my Reo. Best app I've found. With lots of great sayings to learn.

### 4/5 — Tino pai

*2022-12-15, version 1.8*

It’s nice to have an app that I can use to find a quick translation of a English word in to Maori and vice versa. Some of the kupu that I have discovered though are not there. I have tried to look up a couple words in Maori to translate to English but they are not showing in this dictionary. Which is unfortunate. Apart from that it is a great app to have.

### 4/5 — Hi

*2022-11-11, version 1.8*

Would love to see how to link words together. Otherwise a very quick easy app.

### 4/5 — Māori dictionary

*2022-10-01, version 1.8*

Good App very helpful.

### 4/5 — Very Useful

*2022-05-26, version 1.8*

Compliments other resources I use in my journey of learning te Reo.

### 4/5 — Needs phrases

*2020-10-31, version 1.8*

A really useful app. I would like common phrases added so words can be seen in context.

### 4/5 — New user

*2019-12-30, version 1.8*

Kua timata ke au ki te mahi i tenei app. He pai hei tautoko i taku mohiotanga korero
