Where is the sound?
Why would anyone pay for an app like this? It doesn’t even have verbal pronunciation or feedback of words with audio.
What a scam.
What a scam.
Handy learning tool for learning old English
I Like that one can zip onto this for a quick test/review and can increase difficulty when wanted!
Best OE app
Flashcard based learning with grammar and vocabulary references available on each level
No audio = no pronounciation
It is great for practice, but come on, audio would be nice for people who are actively trying to learn the language. It’s mainly why people, such as myself, bought and downloaded it only to find out I can’t pronounce anything properly.
Very good
I found it to be very good however I think it would be better if there was a way to learn pronunciation.
No pronunciation help :(
It seems to be useful if you already know proper pronunciation but as a new learner there’s no help. Bummed I spent the money before knowing this.
Could use adjective declension
The app overall is quite good, however with the addition of an adjective declension key/practice, the app would be so much better. This would especially help for someone who has most difficulty in adjectives and needs practice in it, or for those who would like to revisit their knowledge of adjective declension. It is an important feature that would be necessary to completely fulfil the apps educational potential. The app in all other aspects however is quite functional, the conjugation and adjective declension as well the vocabulary features are perfectly splendid and reach the utmost degree of satisfaction, because they are not only efficient but user friendly. If an adjective declension feature were to follow this pattern, no doubt this app would be even more useful and spectacular.

Very good
Very good and helpful app! Will recommend to anyone studying old English!
great practice!
really great practice for medieval language students! there is so much vocab, and it really helps if you find word endings difficult for the cases (which I do lol)
Good for reading but not for speaking
No pronunciation help or audio makes this a pass for me
Awesome
It was pretty expensive for an app but well worth it, as learning old English is a mighty task at hand and studying with a dictionary is boring at best. This app however; removes all the tedious work that goes into guessing what an old English word truly translates into and sets you up with some core vocabulary and knowledge that will allow you to truly start learning old English on your own afterwards. For those who wish to undertake the long challenge of learning an effectively dead language for academic purposes, to discover your roots, or just to have fun, this app will be great for getting you a ground level to start. It’s not really that complicated or over the top good, just simple multiple choice the entire way through, but to have it all clustered in one spot makes casual learning possible; unlike the dictionary lol. Anyway highly recommended for beginners. ƿes þū hāl

Excellent
A tool for memorising Old English. Fabulous value for money.
Useful but basic
If this app was free then without doubt I would award it five stars. However the app is somewhat too basic to constitute its price
Really Needs Lessons
Vocab is great and all, but what we really need are lessons and sentences. Oh, and a pronunciation guide. This also goes for your gothic app as well.
Emperor
A brilliant way to learn this fascinating language! A must-have!
Not what I expected
This app is more like drills than an actual learning course. There are no explanations of grammar just repetitive mini quizzes. It would be useful as quick tests on information learned elsewhere, in a language course or textbook. It's usefulness for learning Old English is extremely limited. I had expected a basic language course with some instruction in grammar and pronunciation. It is not much of a value for the cost.

Good
Please ad search engine for vocabulary
Fantastic
Not only is this the best Old English app I've found--it's also one of the best language apps out there. Definitely worth it--quizzes you on grammar and vocabulary (even vocabulary specific to Beowulf!). I cannot recommend this (and the other LP apps) enough. Thank you.
Highly effective
Really great app for what is obviously a fringe language - comparatively at least. A great modern technology tool to liven up learning a language which is served by some very dry and methodical approaches. If you know any students of old English, or anyone simply wishing to expand their list of languages, tell then to buy this extremely reasonably-priced app.
