PLEASE update otherwise these wonderful apps are useless. ### 2/5 — Please update! *2023-12-07* I love these apps and I use them a lot . But they crash on new IOS and OS. I request the developer to update accordingly please! Without the updates will become useless. I will update my review and the number of the stars if I hear from the developer. ### 3/5 — No stresses *2019-06-25* In consulting with my Italian dictionary, I thought this app was accurate in terms of open/closed vowels, but there are no stresses. ### 1/5 — Poor!! *2018-10-23* In comparing this app’s IPA transcription of a short Italian poem with a published academic version of the IPA transcription, I encountered 10 errors, many of them basic in nature. The German version of this app seems good, but I am sorry I purchased the Italian version. Very disappointing! ### 5/5 — I love it but it needs improvment *2018-08-10, version 1.1* 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! ### 3/5 — Almost *2012-07-24* This gets most everything right, but is very inconsistent with the most frustrating facets of Italian diction -- open vs. closed E/O and voiced vs. unvoiced z/zz. It has the most basic ones, but not everything. ### 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!! *2012-03-03* Easy to use with accurate results!! Highly recommend!!! ### 5/5 — Great app!! Give it a try! *2012-02-27* This app is a handy tool for vocalists, conductors, linguists, and many other professionals. You can paste an Italian text in and instantly see a phonetic transcription. Print, save, and share it easily. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Very Handy! *2012-02-15* As a singer, I find this very handy. Just put in your Italian text, and out comes IPA! There are settings you can tweak for open vs. closed vowels, etc. you can save your excerpts and print them. Very nicely done! ## Frequently asked questions about IPANow! Italian ### What is IPANow!
