The sound files now have an obvious stutter and other glitches apparent. Pity as the app would be excellent. ### 1/5 — Don’t use! Crashes! *2024-12-28, version 1.0.8* Now it won’t even open, so is basically useless. It was working fine yesterday. Go figure. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2018-02-07, version 1.0.4* 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. ### 2/5 — Needs Improvement *2026-01-25, version 1.0.8* 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. ### 2/5 — Please update. *2025-01-09, version 1.0.8* 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! ### 2/5 — Why can’t I get audio ? *2022-02-11, version 1.0.8* 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 ### 2/5 — No sound available. *2020-10-05* There is no sound in the app. Impossible to hear the pronunciation. ### 3/5 — Audio Doesn’t Work *2026-06-02, version 1.0.8* 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. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2023-11-10* Lots of words are missing the pronunciation feature. ### 3/5 — Update *2021-03-09, version 1.0.8* 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 ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the App but Not the Bugs *2026-01-30, version 1.0.8* 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. ### 5/5 — ty *2025-01-05, version 1.0.8* Thank you so much for making the language so accessible. It is such a gift!! ### 5/5 — The best *2019-07-04, version 1.0.8* The best English to Irish dictionary available. ### 5/5 — Good En-Ga Dictionary *2019-01-17, version 1.0.7* Nice straight forward interface and includes audio pronunciation for different dialects. Would be better to have the app optimised for newer iPhone screen sizes. ### 5/5 — Great for parents *2018-08-16, version 1.0.7* 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. ### 5/5 — Eager Learner *2017-12-21, version 1.0.4* 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! ### 5/5 — Stellar! *2015-10-15, version 1.0* 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! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-10-12, version 1.0* Looking forward to future updates! Go raibh maith agat. ### 4/5 — Missing some pronunciations *2024-03-02, version 1.0.8* Great app but missing a lot of pronunciations that are on the website. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
