I like being able to slow down the audio to better understand how to pronounce the phrases. ### 4/5 — Useful *2017-03-29* This app is very useful , but it need transcription **Developer response:** We know, and we will provide transcription with the next version. ### 4/5 — Csodalatos *2016-10-19* Great! ### 4/5 — Very useful *2016-07-03* The ease to use it is really nice, but the sound quality on a lot of the recordings makes it a little difficult to understand ### 4/5 — Mr *2016-06-17* So many useful phrases for a free app. ### 2/5 — Pènz *2016-04-29* Fizetős a lényeg **Developer response:** If you have any suggestion, contact us: gipsysoft.it/contact. We will be glad to hear from you. ### 4/5 — Most useful *2015-10-25* My hungarian girlfriend recommended this to me and it's good enough :) ### 4/5 — Very helpful *2015-09-01* Good at basics, look forward to trying it in Budapest ### 4/5 — orosz *2015-08-22* Very Useful, but unfrendly listening ### 3/5 — Seems ok so far *2015-08-12* Has got basic phrases for free but irritating you can't explore it properly without having to write them a review! Style a bit clunky and amateurish but you can work it out. **Developer response:** The app is not unusable until you leave a review. If it was so, Apple would never had approved it. ### 4/5 — Great *2015-08-10, version 7.6* Very good ### 4/5 — Usefull app *2015-07-20* Good app with many basic free contents. I removed one star because the app is not entirely free ### 4/5 — Not bad. *2015-06-03* Quite a useful resource. Lots of good phrases, although as others have stated, clarity can be an issue. ### 5/5 — A great and easy way to learn *2015-05-23* This app is great to learn Hungarian pronunciation. ### 5/5 — Works For Me *2015-05-18* This was just what we were looking for! It should be very helpful on our trip! ### 5/5 — Jake *2015-05-14* Great app, and it sounds like my gf so I like to use and is easy to. ### 3/5 — Great app *2015-05-02, version 7.6* A good useful little app to pick up phrases ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-04-26* Really helped me out, would recommend this app to anyone ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Expect to pay *2025-11-10* I was expecting the entire app to consist of essential travel phrases, not colors and 20 different forms of apology. The only way to get the phrases that you actually be using while traveling are to pay to upgrade to pro. ### 1/5 — Machine voice. *2013-11-18, version 7.2* We can not understand what the machine says. To learn hungarian is a deception. ### 1/5 — Speech is awful *2013-07-01* I bought this to practise pronunciation before going to Budapest. The speech is awful, useless for my purpose. It sounds like a bad robot. Don't buy. **Developer response:** We have replaced the synthetic speech with real recordings by human beings. And now the app is offered for free. ### 1/5 — Useless *2013-06-25, version 4.96* It's using voice synthesis tgat does not match correct Hungarian pronunciation. Not even clisely ### 1/5 — No stars *2013-06-15* The voice translation is way too robot not even close to being usable **Developer response:** We have replaced the synthetic speech with real recordings by human beings. ### 1/5 — No audio *2013-05-08* This app is a great disappointment. The talking phrase book that is promised in the app store description does not work. The app is cheap but does not do what is says on the tin! **Developer response:** We have replaced the synthetic speech with real recordings by human beings. ### 1/5 — Speaks like a robot *2013-05-04* Phrase book aspect is helpful. I was hoping for the audio, as Hungarian has many different sounds than English. However, the audio sounds like a cheap robot from the 80's....akin to "shall we play a game?" Terrible! When it gets to the Hungarian sounds, it switches from speaking to spelling. I was very disappointed from that perspective. **Developer response:** We have replaced the synthetic speech with real recordings by human beings. ### 1/5 — What a SHAM! *2013-01-18, version 4.9* Can't believe I wasted time & money on this. The "voice" is nothing but robotic gibberish. You should be ashamed! ### 1/5 — Traveller *2012-10-13* Useless. The audio is so digitized it is unintelligible. **Developer response:** We have replaced the synthetic speech with real recordings by human beings. ### 1/5 — Dalek at a rave *2012-09-18, version 4.4* I was curious to hear what the Hungarian language sounded like prior to my trip. This is horrible, synthesized bizarreness! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — excellent app *2020-02-27, version 8.1* its all you need to learn Hungarian ### 5/5 — Nice *2018-01-03* Easy to use, great for learning Hungarian or English! ### 5/5 — Great *2017-01-02* Easy to use and lots of phrases ### 5/5 — Good app to start and expand *2016-06-22* Just started but very happy to find a Hungarian language app that is easy to use and can expend as I learn ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-04-08, version 7.6* Hdjjds ### 5/5 — Good *2016-01-03, version 7.6* It's a helpful app! ### 5/5 — Super useful *2015-12-13* Really useful, thanks! ### 5/5 — Lovely *2015-08-23* It's very useful, the audio recordings really help a lot, because In Hungarian there is a difference between the pronunciation and how it's written. ### 5/5 — I like it *2015-08-08* Definitely a good start to the Hungarian language. ### 5/5 — Seems good so far! *2015-06-10* I really like the "favorites" feature! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
