It is very important! Thank you! Please! Please! update this wonderful app. I will suggest it to all of my singer and conductor friends! ### 5/5 — Anxiety gone *2017-10-05, version 1.1* This app made me so happy! I was able to work on my choir music w/o feeling inferior and anxiety about my Pronunciation. Thanks!

It's saved me a lot of stress! ### 3/5 — Good for simple usage *2013-03-04, version 1.0* This app is indeed very easy to use, but it could be improved by adding a translation. Also, there are no stress nor syllabic markings in the phonetic spelling, which would only make this app more useful. If you're looking for a simple IPA translation, this is perfect!

With its counterparts (German, French, and Italian) the singer and conductor have a wonderful toolbox of very effective tools designed to make the chore of phonetic transcription easier! ### 5/5 — Cool app *2012-03-02, version 1.0* Fantastic app!
