### 3/5 — “Full-Access?”   Careful folks. Don’t have to give full access to the developer.

*2022-07-24, version 1.5.1*

Don’t give full access. It’s unnecessary.

### 3/5 — Not quite there

*2020-08-22, version 1.5.0*

Good but needs a bit more work. E is better translated as a forearm and not two reeds. H & M should have alternative characters as they can be written two ways. There are no characters reserved on the main keyboard for the commonly used ‘sh’ and ‘tch’ sounds.  I am referencing Egyptian Grammar by Sir Alan Gardiner and Egyptian Hieroglyphs by Bill Manley. Hope this helps.

### 4/5 — It works - nice!

*2020-05-19, version 1.4.0*

I am glad to have found this app. It works! 

Unfortunately it does not have by far as many hieroglyphs as there are in the gardener list, which is sad because I was really looking forward to these symbols. I would be very happy if there would a feature where somebody could customize the keyboard since you can swipe to another page with the space bar that might offer the option to add more pages with even more hieroglyphs.

### 3/5 — Not enough Characters

*2020-02-27*

Can you add more hieroglyphics

### 3/5 — Good but

*2019-09-05, version 1.4.0*

This does give some hieroglyphics but so many are missing that it is hard for me to rate it any higher.

### 3/5 — Genera idea is great, however...

*2019-06-08, version 1.4.0*

Being an Egyptologist I’m loving the initiative and the general idea! I’m disappointed though that it doesn’t have even half of all known hieroglyphs. If that could be achieved somehow I’d be over the moon and it would be insanely useful to Egyptologist. Definitely something to work on.

### 4/5 — O が間違ってます

*2017-10-29, version 1.3.0*

良き！
でもOは確かプランクトンみたいな形でした！判読ごっこができない…

### 4/5 — 良いと思います。

*2016-12-21, version 1.1.0*

が、フルアクセスを許可というのが少々不安に感じましたので-1させていただきます。

### 4/5 — Egyptologist

*2016-12-02, version 1.1.0*

I downloaded this app and it is easy to use. However, the characters cannot be resized or placed one above another. Individual resizing should be possible

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — This app is broken and the developer is unresponsive.

*2024-05-26, version 1.5.1*

I submitted a complaint to Apple.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPad Pro

*2020-05-13, version 1.4.0*

This does not work on my iPad Pro. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — uhhhh

*2018-11-19, version 1.3.0*

It’s so bad it’s missing literally most glyphs it’s honestly bad sorry but you have a lot of improvements to make don’t buy for now

### 1/5 — Limited

*2018-08-15, version 1.3.0*

Very limited selection of glyphs... there are free apps with way more available

### 1/5 — Time waste

*2018-05-14, version 1.3.0*

All I got was a pack of stickers... Keyboard was non-existant!?

### 1/5 — The letters and symbols are not all correct

*2018-04-18, version 1.3.0*

You are missing certain Monoliteral symbols such as: arm and hand (ah or a as in at), there was no (c) but I get the a sound. The twisted flax which is another h sound. The belly and udder a kh sound. The pool of water anothe sh sound. The tethering rope a tch sound. 

And missing many common determinatives, biliterals. And trilaterals.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2016-12-07, version 1.1.0*

Yes I purchased and it does not work. Or I'd be writing this in Hieroglyphs.

### 2/5 — Extremely limited number of glyphs (just 28)

*2023-05-15, version 1.5.1*

There are only 28 glyphs, plus the numbers. Too bad they didn’t put a little more effort in and include more. As is, the usefulness is very limited.

A better app is called “r n kmt “.

### 2/5 — 面白いがいくつか文字が違う

*2021-04-05, version 1.5.0*

無理矢理アルファベットに置き換えたものを使ってるようだがOとVとXが違う
