Audio Doesn’t Work

This is such a useful app and I love it for expanding my vocab but sadly the audio files don’t work, which is unfortunate because one of my favorite things about Focloir is the ability to hear how a word is pronounced across different dialects. Judging from the reviews, the faulty audio has been a problem for some time. At this point…hire me. I could get your app working.

Love the App but Not the Bugs

At first the voice responses worked but then they just randomly started having trouble until altogether not working at all. If i want to hear the way a word is said I have to go to the website on safari.

Needs Improvement

The audio examples no longer work. I reinstalled the app and the problem isn’t resolved. I tried the ‘app help’ tab in the AppStore and it just takes me to the Focloir website, and nothing I click on works.

Needs an update

Needs an update badly for iOS. The sound files now have an obvious stutter and other glitches apparent. Pity as the app would be excellent.

Please update.

I love this app. I use it weekly.

It and the other app you have are in desperate need of an update. It’s been 5 and 7 years respectively since you have.

Please help the Irish language continue!

ty

Thank you so much for making the language so accessible. It is such a gift!!

Don’t use! Crashes!

Now it won’t even open, so is basically useless. It was working fine yesterday. Go figure.

Missing some pronunciations

Great app but missing a lot of pronunciations that are on the website.

Could be better

Lots of words are missing the pronunciation feature.

Why can’t I get audio ?

I cannot get the audio to function for pronunciation of Irish words. One of the main reasons I downloaded this app. I would have contacted app support instead of leaving a negative review because this is a brilliant app —-except for the lack of audio function —-but I could not find any app support contact. Audio? Thanx

Update

Overall a great app but it needs an urgent and regular updates. At the moment the dictionary does not fit the screen size and leaves blank strips on the screen. Plus a modernisation of the interface would be great

No sound available.

There is no sound in the app. Impossible to hear the pronunciation.

The best

The best English to Irish dictionary available.

Good En-Ga Dictionary

Nice straight forward interface and includes audio pronunciation for different dialects. Would be better to have the app optimised for newer iPhone screen sizes.

Great for parents

As a non national with children learning Irish at school, I find this extremely useful to look up words to help with homework. All info also on internet, but very easy through app too.

Doesn’t work!

No better than free apps that simply look words up. I paid for this app because it had audio translation (so I thought) - which DOESN’T WORK! Navigation around the app is poor, awkwardly designed, and erratic.

Eager Learner

When studying abroad in Ireland, I started to learn Gaeilge. My professor told me to use this anytime I need assistance, and it has never failed me! Thank you!

I know it may be "aisling," but can you please update the app for iPhone X support? I use this every day and would like it to be updated. Go raibh maith agaibh agus Nollaig Shona!

Stellar!

Tá mé an-sásta leis! This app is much more palatable in terms of cost than Collins and easier to use to boot. It's well designed and I appreciate the continuity across the app and website. I'll be using this all the time. Go raibh maith agaibh!

Great app

Looking forward to future updates! Go raibh maith agat.
