### 5/5 — very straightforward

*2013-05-28*

I'm going to pursue a bachelor's degree in Linguistics with an emphasis in ESL, and I think this app will help me learn the IPA as well as with my teaching goals.
It's a very straightforward app, but very helpful. 

I wish it was available for OS X (iMac and laptop).

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-10-14, version 2.0.9*

Not good

### 1/5 — Mucho texto

*2020-09-01, version 2.0.7*

Mucho texto

### 1/5 — 能去掉广告吗？

*2019-09-28, version 2.0*

能去掉广告吗？缺钱吗？

### 1/5 — No se oye nada

*2014-10-11, version 1.2*

Yo no tengo un iPad Air, pero tampoco se oye nada

### 2/5 — The app is useful but…

*2024-09-26, version 2.1.0*

I like the app because it is straight forward. Just click and pronoun. However, the fatal mistakes are compulsory horizontal screen and no split views. As a learner I have to cross check both dictionary and phonics but the app is not allow to do so, what inconvenience it's.

### 2/5 — Mistake?

*2018-01-12, version 2.0*

I’m not sure the « I » pronunciation is right. You’ve taken a short I:, but not the I like in fish as pronounced in the word examples.

### 3/5 — No sound...?

*2017-01-11, version 1.2*

I usually love this chart - have used it online before - but now, downloading the app, I find there is no sound! Have tried adjusting all my iPad's volume-levels to no avail. Help?

### 3/5 — Lack a few crucial features

*2013-03-19, version 1.2*

Missing features:
Typical words to exemplify sounds such as /u/ for soot or /u:/ for food
  
It excludes US sounds, where the differences are rather significant. And word quoting. 

British Council has consistently been generous and from such assuring name one expects nothing but impeccable standards.

### 4/5 — Fun with English

*2010-09-22*

--Update: I intended four stars. Don't know what happened. Again, good work. --

As a linguist it was quite fun to find this app in the store. I'm sure I'll be pulling it out to explain basic concepts to friends and family. Thanks for the hard work. Beautifully done. 

Three tips. First, it would be nice to have each sound recorded in word initial, medial, and final position, where possible. Currently the reasoning behind the selection of words is unclear.

Second, two symbols are off. You've a trilled 'r' were an approximate is intended (should be U+0279, SMALL LETTER TURNED R). Also, I believe you have the wrong sound for your unrounded open-mid back vowel (U+028C, SMALL LETTER TURNED V), though this may be a dialect difference. 

Third, it would be nice to have several major dialects to choose from. As an American immigrant to Australia, I can tell you two I'd nominate for inclusion.

*2021-06-12, version 2.0.9*

Extremely helpful for English learners to get help anytime offline to confirm, to clarify , to follow and practice all the fundamental pronunciation blocks.  The design is simple but efficiently arranged . It works very well with my learning.  A great help!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2021-04-19*

Very helpful but the sound was very small
I wish the creator will fix it

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your review. We are sorry the sound was too small for you. We are going to suspend this app very soon, it is unlikely we will update the app in the meantime. Please email us at learnenglish.mobile@britishcouncil.org for the PC version of the phonemic chart. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Just what my students need!

*2020-10-29, version 2.0.7*

I’m a great believer in the importance of teaching good pronunciation. This App can allow students to be confident they’re getting the pronunciation right, when learning new vocabulary on their own.

### 5/5 — Perfecta para los estudiantes

*2020-05-07, version 2.0.7*

Esta app me ayudó mucho en un examen de fonética y fonología en la universidad. Es perfecta para practicar la pronunciación. La recomiendo muchísimo.

### 5/5 — Awesome

This helps a lot if you want to learn the pronunciations.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-11-20, version 2.0*

It seems great, but could this app be helpful to practice American English (US)?

### 5/5 — Remove ads please

*2019-05-25, version 2.0*

Is there any way that you guys couls remove the ads, please?
