Gracias, grazie, a dank, tusen takk

I’m a longterm Forvo user and I’m glad the app is still being updated. My biggest barrier to contributing right now is that certain diacritic marks are not valid such as Yiddish phonetic symbols and in one case an entire letter for very common words like kh (כ) . Some very common words need that letter and sometimes you need phonetic markers to distinguish pronunciation. Hopefully, certain invalid letters / markers can get added at some point

Useless App

Trying to sign up it asked four times for the same information. Once in couldn’t use the app at all. Lesson learned . Don’t waste your money on it.

I used to love this app but after not opening it in awhile I tried to use it recently and it won’t play any sound clips. I can search and find words but when I click the play icon it spins like it’s loading then doesn’t do anything. iPhone 15, iOS 26.3.1 (a).
