Dissatisfied
First word I type in it has no idea how to pronounce and says it can’t find it. Totally disappointed
Accent
Though I like the app a great deal, why does the translator have an accent? I haven’t used the app lately, but, today I did and was surprised to hear an Italian accent.
Where on the app can I change it to plain English.

Found on the web, app is alright
Hey, rather than a app, it would be more functional and useful to have this as an extension or script that appears in the options menus for the bowers, and for the long press on selected text.
It’s just silly to have open an app or website. When, I really should be able to highlight/select the word and either/both long press and have “pronounce” as an option, like “look up”, “search the web”, etc.
And/or, the browser menu that contains “pronounce/howjsay” as an option, such as, print, look up, etc., is an option.

Love this app
This app has given me very much pleasure over the years. I am not good with phonics , therefore I rely on this app. Thank you.
Add it to the pile
I understand that app devs also need a way to make money, and I can’t fault them for that. I won’t be spiteful because to be fair, their prices aren’t terrible in the scheme of things. However, I will say I think that anyone that makes a subscription the only option to get consistent or basic functionality from their app is alienating at least half of their user-base. I have to ask, since it really does seem like no app developer realizes this, but you do understand that if nearly every single app on the market wants to charge a subscription fee, the average middle or lower class person can’t have 20 subscriptions to every single random app, right? On top of that, having to manage a bunch of random reoccurring charges is honestly a little tiring to keep track of. I really think that this would do better with a one time fee for the words you guys have decided to make premium only, even if it’s a bit more than the subscription price is now.
Edit to add, like others have said, there are dozens of free options that serve the same purpose. Some mention google, but dictionary.com or merriam-webster also work fine. If you’re determined to hear the most natural sounding pronunciation, you can ask chatgpt (for free). I have yet to hear any unnatural pronunciations despite the dev’s denouncement of ai pronunciation in response to another review.

Can you add definitions or option for note editing? Also a report button for unfound words might help.

It’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Not great; not useless either
The pronunciations are correct and the words available fairly comprehensive, but the audio quality is very poor. It's like they got a competent person to record the words, but used the cheapest, tinniest tape recorder from radio shack to record the words with. What a shame; if the audio quality were even half way decent this could be five stars.

Simply love the app!!
I’ve this app on my iPhone as well as on my Samsung and I must say I can’t function without it. Full marks to the developers. Love you guys and please do keep up the great work!!!
Superb!
I’ve never written a review for an app before, but I had to on this occasion! Effective, unquestionably accurate and entirely fit-for-purpose! For such a small annual fee this app is worth every penny! Mind blowing when you consider the preparation and time that’s gone into its preparation and development! The first app I downloaded provided totally inaccurate results - AI generated rubbish! What a pleasant surprise!

Extremely slow to add words
I have to ask repeatedly for words to be added. It’s very annoying. The app develops are not responsive
Learning to Read
Growing up I didn’t learn to read by embracing phonics. For me, words themselves were intricate pictures with audible names I remembered by their overall appearance. I was 70 years old before I realized why I had no idea how others could pronounce words they had never heard spoken before or spell words they had never seen. This app has been a tremendous help to me in my ongoing process of learning to apply phonics to my speech and writing endeavors.

Yearly subscription even though app was purchased prevously.
I paid for access to this app but now it seems that they have moved to a yearly subscription. If you have customers who paid for the app when it was a single payment for access, they should be grandfathered into access to the app. I was a loyal customer but I am not going to keep paying you. Very bad business practice!

great app. 🔥🔥

Disappointed
I originally paid for this app, I’m extremely disappointed that all of sudden, they’ve decided to charge a yearly subscription.
I feel like it’s a scam!!!

Version gratuite très restreinte
Les mots dont j’ai besoin ne sont pas inclus dans la version gratuite
Best app for pronunciation
This app has improved greatly from the first version
Premium
I paid for premium but it keeps asking me to get premium. Then it accepts I have it but there is a problem with the Apple ap store. Very frustrating as so many words are hidden from me.
I am now being told there is an increase in price. Perhaps the best thing is to cancel my subscription. That’s a shame as I like the app.

Great
Excellent pronouncing and useful on go. The subject covered is also excellent. Now google dictionary is icing on the cake.
