Good but some flaw

Excellent app, probably the best on the market but they really need to improve the search function for verb. Half of the time it dont work. For example if i want to look for the verb charek m3a (share with) the app give me the first verb on top of the list instead of the verb i was looking for. It seems it’s not really there yet

Tourism, honest review

I bought the app to help me communicate during my stay in Morocco. In terms of price-performance, it’s actually quite fair. However, I was disappointed to find that many of the words and phrases I tried to pronounce weren’t recognized or understood by locals. The app often outputs incorrect or unnatural translations, which is a real pity. This definitely needs improvement.

Another issue is that the pronunciation provided doesn’t always match how people actually speak – especially since dialects in Morocco vary by region. The example sentences are also not very helpful for tourists, as they often miss the most essential phrases one would actually need in real-life situations.

In the end, I found it much more useful to simply speak with locals and write down how they say things. That was far more effective than relying on the app.

Response from developer

Hi and thank you for your honest review! The words in the dictionary are the Darija spoken in Marrakech, and the other main cities like Casablanca or Rabat. The region in the far north like Tangier/Tetouan does have a few variations in their vocabulary. Unfortunately, capturing the different dialects from Morocco exceeds what we can realistically achieve as a two people, although we would love if there were a comprehensive resource for this. We try to include different synonyms for the same word though, for words where a Darija word doesn't exist some prefer to use the MSA word other prefer the french word. For those looking for more touristy phrases, we created a companion app (the Know Morocco Phrasebook) that has 900+ sentences useful for travel. Nevertheless, we appreciate your feedback and will try to improve the dictionary experience as well so that it helps people like you in the future.

Best Darija app around. Period.

This app is outstanding! It has a great vocab bank with tons of important words and phrases. Further, the conjugation app (additional in app purchase) is very helpful, especially with all of the irregular verbs.
If you are studying Darija on your own or in a class, planning a trip to Morocco and want to improve your communication skills, or just want to check out the differences between Darija and other dialects, this app is tailor made for you!

Thank you for this nice review. We're glad that you enjoy the conjugation package - soon there will be a nice update including a conjugation quiz.

Best Darija app by far

Very helpful app and easy to use.

Conjugations galore!

As any new speaker of darija knows, grammar is one of the hardest things to grasp. The recent update with conjugations for tons of regular and irregular verbs has been a huge help for studying and translating. If I had to recommend any one resource to help a newbie learn darija, it would be this.

Whether you’re traveling on a short holiday trip or living for longer-term in Morocco, this app will be helpful.

Worth the money!

This app has about any word you’re looking for, with audio included for each entry so you know you’re pronouncing it correctly. Excellent addition for anyone learning Moroccan Arabic (Darija).

Awesome work

I’ve used this dictionary to find words that I need to know in darija to speak with my Moroccan friends. Tbarakallah fikum. I love the work that was put into this for English natives learning Darija.

Love this app!

This app has helped me build my vocabulary and has introduced me to new, fun phrases. Purchasing this app was a very wise investment. I have been studying darija for two years and find this app to be very beneficial whether you’re in the beginning stages or have been studying for a while. So thankful for the help this app has provided 😊
