### 5/5 — Malia

*2020-11-11*

Very informative. I am asked many times about the Hawaiian names. In this app I can always type in the names and and get the Hawaiian version than look up the meaning.

### 3/5 — Transliteration

*2019-09-11*

Pretty good basic function for most names, all other levels/ actions cost minimal. Program does straight transliteration not translation. Like the background music😊

### 5/5 — Fun and Respecting our names

*2019-01-10, version 3.1*

Have really enjoyed learning names of friends and family!  As a new transplant to Hawaii from mainland, learning names has been fun and engaging the locals!

### 4/5 — Aloha

Mahalo!!🌴🏄🏽‍♀️🌺🍍🐚🌊🐠🎍⛵️🏝

### 5/5 — Fun for the islands and the mainland

*2018-07-18*

This is a great way to learn your names in Hawaiian.  They also have an app for words that are not names.

If you have a two-word name you may need to type each word by itself and then speak them together.

Thank you for this app!
