## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2018-06-22*

When I downloaded the app (early June 2018), there was no information about cost involved. However, in the third week of June 2018, somehow, I “bought” this app. This was achieved without the normal request to inform the buyer of cost involved, and, the app settings ensure I can’t counter the activity.

### 1/5 — hg

bad

### 1/5 — Horrible!!! Money back!!

*2015-07-02*

Lot of wrong words!

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2012-07-12*

It looks like the other four reviews we're planted, but it's actually pretty decent. Not flawless: it put an extra schwa in the phonetic spelling of médecin. But it could tell the difference between fille and ville. 

It's better than the Collins French dictionary app--where some characters show up as ?. If you want an app that will give you pronunciation without an English definition (I.e., you're trying a no-English approach), this is about your only option. 

Also: the app Phonetix makes a good companion... It will pronounce the phonetic letters you don't remember.

### 4/5 — Almost Ideal

*2012-07-24*

This app is way better than I expected. It has most of the exceptions -- minus a few of the odd final consonants and liaisons.

### 5/5 — I love it but it needs improvements

*2018-08-10*

Please make it work with drag and drop on ios 11. It is very important! Thank you!
Please update this wonderful app. I will suggest it to all of my singer and conductor friends!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2012-03-06*

I'm a singer and I have been waiting for an app like this! It's simple, easy to use and I haven't found a mistake yet. Must have for any vocalist. The other ipanows are just as awesome.

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2012-03-04*

Works great and super easy to use!!

### 5/5 — Can't work without it!

*2012-03-03*

This app is invaluable! As a classical soloist I am constantly working on new pieces and often need a hand with my transcriptions. It is so convenient to be able to do so while on the go... It's like having a section of your university's music library in your pocket!

### 5/5 — Great app! Give it a try!

*2012-02-25*

This app is a handy tool for vocalists, conductors, linguists, and many other professionals. You can paste a French text in and instantly see a phonetic transcription. Print, save, and share it easily. Highly recommended!
