Each word in the spelling alphabet typically replaces the name of the letter with which it starts. It is used to spell out words when speaking to someone not able to see the speaker, or when the audio channel is not clear.

### 5/5 — Toll

*2022-10-02*

Super App, tut genau was sie soll und das schnell und unkompliziert!

Frage: Es gibt eine neue Deutsche Buchstabiertafel nach DIN. 
Wäre es möglich, diese zu ergänzen? 
Danke!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Ich werde die App auf jeden Fall so aktualisieren, dass sie die Deutsche Buchstabiertafel für Wirtschaft und Verwaltung (DIN 5009:2022-06) verwendet.

### 4/5 — Nice but I want to say

*2022-07-03*

Not all languages have audio support. Would be nice to hear how these COMMANDS are spoken around the world

**Developer response:** Good idea, thanks for your review!

### 5/5 — Simple and extremely useful

*2020-07-20*

Very simple app, easy to use, incredibly useful and does not get in your way. 
Essential for those noisy phone calls and for anyone that just can’t remember the nato alphabet.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Super App

*2020-07-05*

Super Nachschlagewerk, Namen eingeben und einfach ablesen ... top !

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung!

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2020-04-14*

Sehr nützlich für die Kontrolle von Buchstabierübungen bei Funklehrgängen. Auf Anregungen ('Schule' statt 'Samuel Cäsar Heinrich' für 'sch') wurde sehr schnell eingegangen.

### 4/5 — It’s spelled “Alpha”, not “Alfa”

*2020-01-26*

You had one job.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The “Alfa” spelling is coming from wikipedia so I assume it’s the correct one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet

### 5/5 — BREMEN Taxi

*2019-03-03*

Coole App. Ich muss viel auf englisch telefonieren und kann nach dieser App dann vieles locker buchstabieren.

**Developer response:** Danke für das Review!

### 3/5 — Good, not great

*2019-03-02*

I wanted to practice receiving ATC clearances in which the waypoints are spelled phonetically. E.g., F45 KMLB SGJ KFHB SVN KASH. But this app a) does not do numerals, b) does not pause at spaces, and c) the rate cannot be changed.  Also, it would be great to have a voice with an American accent. And one that mumbles and one that is clearly busy and annoyed that you told him, “say again, please”. 😉

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review and for the feature requests! I'll try to implement some of them into the next release.

### 5/5 — Indispensable au téléphone

*2019-01-05*

J’aime avoir cette app sous la main quand je suis au téléphone pour épeler mon nom et mes identifiants aux services clientèle que je contacte.

### 5/5 — Prima

*2018-11-02*

Perfekt wenn Ich meine Name am Telefon buchstabieren muss :)
