User reviews

Extremely disappointed

The pronunciation was very unclear and they wouldn’t let me replay it. The pictures weren’t clear and they don’t use English translations so I very rarely knew what I was saying. If you want to learn Finnish, don’t use this app.

Translation of the words?

A translation of the words in the lessons would be helpful. The pictures can be interpreted in quite a few different way so I find it a bit pointless learning to pronounce a word I don’t know the meaning of.

Hyvää

I really like it. It's sort of like Rosetta Stone. One thing that should be changed is in one picture it shows a picture of a yellow Mini Cooper and it says "Pieni vihreä auto": "small green car".

Great help

I love useing this app, the pics can be weird and confusing sometimes (girl with a flower in her mouth meaning to have???) but I find I'm learning these words fast. The extra thinking and not just memorizing words is a fun twist. Definite recommend!! Thought it is .99 for each set. Worth it!!

Where are the finnish vowels?

An excellent app but the main issue is the lack of Finnish vowels on the iPhone keypad. It is very difficult to complete the writing tasks without a full set of vowels!

Other than that it seems very useful. You can track your ability level and having the writing tasks gives it an extra element of difficulty.
