What's New in Greann Gaeilge

7.0

November 13, 2023

There's not one but *TWO* big new features in Greann Gaeilge 7.0: Games and Nouns! 1. You heard right: there's a game hiding under the new Greann! tab. It's called Letter Blender, and it features a row of mixed up letters from prepositional pronouns (like "agat" and "orm"). Your challenge is to rearrange the letters to spell the word correctly. Some are easy, like "orm", and some are much harder: do you know how to say "between us" using "idir"? Do it right and you'll get confetti! And points. And those points get added to a leaderboard in Game Center. So now you can invite friends to play, too, and compare your scores against your friends' and the whole world. Getting a great score is easier because we offer hints on how to solve each word. But you'll want to use them wisely! 2. The second big addition is Nouns! Yes, you've practiced Verb Conjugation & Prepositional Pronouns before. And now you can add Noun Declensions to your arsenal. We break it down as simply as we can, so it's easy for you to learn. • Bug fixes • Store tab now shows the item name in addition to the description

Cá bhfuil na cruthaitheoirí???

Unattended aip apparently. Is trua sin, mar I’d have loved to hope for a possibility of the foclóir bein fixed. The starts with / ends with / contains would be iontach ar fad, but as it is, there does not seem to be a way to actually use ‘ends with’ or ‘contains’.

To any prospective app creators, is dócha, I’d reccommend making dictionaries which allow the search results to swith between containing, starting with, and ending with the search term. As far as I know, such a thing is not possible on teanglann… so far ar aon chaoi.

Response from developer

Thank you for notifying us of this problem, Gwenhwyfach. We're happy to report that it was fixed in version 6.0. So now you can search to your heart's content, using 'starts with', 'contains', and 'ends with' to find patterns and related words. Try out the latest version now, which also has more vocabulary, a completely new Alphabet view including an Ogham font, and widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen.

Good app

Great app! However, I think it would be better if it included some tips for pronunciation, perhaps a spoken voice? From my experience the Gaelic language isn't pronounced the same as English so it'd be really helpful to know how to actually pronounce these words.
Thanks!

A first in cheesiness

On every other app I've ever bought, doing an in-app purchase removes the adds. Not this won.

Response from developer

Hi, Léitheoir, and thanks for your feedback. We don't have any ads anywhere in the app. If you mean the list of upgrades at the bottom of the screen, we keep them there to show you that you've purchased them (they change color after you've purchased the item).

Cool app

I really like this app I'm glad it exist the more Gaelic content the better I especially like that it has a Apple Watch feature but I would like to see a complication feature added for the bottom complication on the watch face. Also I really expected that after I upgraded the advertisements would be removed however they were not I hope and future versions and upgrade will remove the advertisements because I don't like to see them. My other two request would be more content and audio content (like a guy pronouncing the words ) it's a good start tho so 5 stars.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback and great rating, Akosimike. As of version 6.0, the app has 3 complications for Apple Watch. For your iPhone, it now has a Home Screen widget, and 3 Lock Screen widgets. Would you like the "advertisements" moved to a Store link so you won't see them?

Okay but not great

Rather limited language app. Also, upgrading to iPhone 5, I find I can't input a search on the dictionary; search window keeps slipping up beneath the heading.
