User reviews

Kia Marama - is the bees knees

An an age of apps, Kia Marama stands very tall (but not too tall :). Designed to provide templates to help create various Maori protocols, the app excels.

I emigrated to Aotearoa 25 years ago and have created Mihimihis (a rich “greeting”) as a primary school teacher, and in various government roles, but Kia Marama is in a completely different league. It took me about 2 minutes to complete the template and then I had three versions of my mihimihi in Te Reo, with macrons sorted and pronunciation available by clicking on each word. Tino pai!
