Vital!
I’m SO HAPPY this app is back in the store. After getting a new phone and not being able to transfer the app, I learned of the conflicts regarding intellectual property and was profoundly disappointed that I couldn’t have this app anymore. I randomly checked to see if it was back with recent developments and I’m ELATED. I use this app on a daily basis to continue to learn and refresh. I haven’t spoken Lakota regularly since grade school classes but this app has allowed me to keep at it. Thank you for making this app!!

Must have app
to learn a language one must speak, but also be able to hear and write. this is by far the best app I’ve seen to help accomplish those goals. a few minor things I’d fix, but overall, very good.
appreciate the effort, time that went into creating this.

Wonderful app! So helpful and useful.
I love the Example sentences and audio pronunciation function. The grammar explanations are a big help,too.
Welcome my people I am Lela, Lakota
I input this on your page and it just takes me to Lakota only

Love the update! So helpful to hear speakers.
I really love all the updates that have been added to the new version. Being able to hear the language to correct my own pronunciation is so helpful. I use this app almost daily as a reference and it’s been very useful in my studying.
Good App For All Lakota Learning Levels
I have the book but the app is really fast and helpful with word meanings and conjugations. I am pleased to use the dictionary which was made with Lakota people. It is a really good thing to read and share. The dictionary can be searched with english or lakota words. it can be read in lakota if you are a fluent speaker. The dictionary will supplement other lakota learning materials you may have. Its really exciting to be able to read and pronounce new words quickly. u can also hear audio of each words pronunciation.

Great resource!
This is a great app for those that want a resource for the Lakota Language. It has so many entries, for how the words are used. In the latest update, it has a great chart for all the different conjugations of the verbs. This is very helpful in learning the diffeeent conjugations.
BRAVO on new version!
Amazing updates… these make the app REALLY easy to use. So happy! Love the pop-up congregation (“inflection”) charts & that you can create specific lists in “favorites” for study purposes. All of these new features are really going to help me in my Lakota language learning journey. Thank you, LLC!
Pronunciation
I’m not able to get a verbal sound from a lot of words. It keeps wanting me to copy or go to or search when I want to heard a pronunciation of a word
LLC is a corporation from Indiana
Ullrich is a hobbyist from the Czech Republic and is the compiler of this dictionary. He and Meya and the LLC and the TLC are banned from the Standing Rock nation.
Despite Standing Rocks initial investment, they have never shared revenues with this corporation- no Lakota tribes do.
There are no citations meaning no honoring of the people who have helped and which word and which community they are from.
Their writing system was forced on the Lakota people in order to sell these products.
Also, the text corpus database where this stems from- the Lakxota people not any tribes have access to it. This is a data grab, harvesting from people who already are experiencing settler colonial violence.

Fraud
The editor is non-native and not even from the US. His definitions are not translated correctly. So. It rely on this info. He is a fraud.
RIP-OFF!!
Just purchased through App Store. Nothing works. All I get when I click on the icon is a description of the supposed content. Not functional. I just lost $9.99.
Purchased recent and not supported
Bought the app and it’s essentially dead on arrival. Really disappointed it’s still for sale when it’s not been migrated to current compatibility.
Issues
For some reason the sound won’t play anymore (I’ve had the app about a week and a half) and restart etc doesn’t help. It was great up until then. I wish there was a help/support option
Extraordinary resource on iPhone - Pronunciation doesn’t work for me on iPad
Absolutely love the revisions and new version of this. Wish pronunciation worked for me on ipad as well as it does on iPhone. As a newbie to this beautiful language, I look forward to learning with this tool in my tool belt.
Excellent!
This is a fantastic resource. The pronunciation recordings are invaluable and I can’t praise the format and navigation enough. Thank you for creating this! A language as beautiful as Lakota must be preserved for all our benefit.
Still supported?
The app is great; I use it quite often.
I notice though that it hasn’t been update for some time. Is this app no longer being supported? I know the LLC website it mentions going through the web browser and saving it to the home screen, which iOS isn’t letting me do (asked at an Apple Store and they said I couldn’t do this, so I assume it’s not just me).

Bummer
The male female pronunciation shut down. That is the main learning process for me.
V2.0
I was told to purchase 2.0, because the previous version was terrible. I was hesitant. It took me a year. So far the app has shut down my phone twice when it did finally open I did a word search and clicked the sound to hear the pronunciation and it shut off my phone. Then I tried again and the speaker icon doesn’t work there is no sound on this. I’m so disappointed.

Needs better navigation
When I’m in an entry and I click on another word it would be nice to be able to swipe or use the arrow back to go back to where I navigated from to go between pages rather than swiping and it goes to the next alphabetical entry. I know it’s a dictionary but it would be nice to have some text about letter sounds and piecing together sentences correctly since it’s different from the English order. That’s where I have a problem with the example sentences clicking on a word to see what it is and then not being able to nav back to where I was without re-searching the page I was at
