User reviews

Good, but too random

I whole heartedly agree with the review given by Josephxo but I also don’t agree with the idea of having swear words on the app. It would make it inappropriate for children and would be teaching them the wrong thing. It is not part of the culture.
I would like to suggest that a translator is added also, to help us get the meaning of things. I think that it could be helpful if it had more organisation. So maybe we could learn things in sections because it would help us to have more conversations in real life, and we can gain confidence that we know what to say. Have a look at Duolingo and see how they sort the concepts, so e.g. you would have a section titled ‘introducing yourself’ or ‘ general greetings’ . This would help us to understand and remember things much better. Thank you for reading!

Response from developer

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and suggestions. We agree that Nkyea should help learners move beyond individual phrases and build the confidence to have real conversations in Twi. We’re excited to say that our upcoming Missions update is designed specifically around this. You’ll be able to learn and practise Twi through organised, real-life situations such as introducing yourself, greeting people respectfully, visiting Ghana, reconnecting with family, working in Ghana, and more. Each Mission focuses on what you’re likely to hear, what you can say, and how to respond naturally, so learning feels more practical and conversational. We’ve also taken note of your translator suggestion as we continue improving Nkyea. And regarding inappropriate language, our focus remains on teaching useful, culturally appropriate Twi for real-life communication. Thank you for helping us make Nkyea better. We hope you’ll enjoy the new Missions experience!

Gut zum Lernen

Hilf mir sehr gut, weil ich die Sprache nicht so gut beherrsche und da kann ich lesen und sprechen lernen. Das einzige, was man noch verbessern könnte, ist vielleicht etwas mehr kostenlos machen weil bisher gibt es ja nur Vorstellung und allgemeine Sachen

Updated interface is great

Good interface and selection of phrases to work with. And being able to listen to pronunciation is great. However the iMessage quiz has disappeared with the new update. And you can no longer see the price of any subscription, click to purchase or even use the free trial.

29/06/26 I appreciate my comment being listened to - we are making great use of the iMessage quiz once again. Thank you!

Great App for Learning Twi , a few suggestions though

I’ve had this app for a while now, and it’s great for learning Twi phrases and vocabulary with clear high quality audio to help with pronunciation . A very nice breadth of phrases too. I like the revamp the interface looks nice.
I have some suggestions though:
- it would be cool if we could choose to do more than 10 phrases a day
- I would like to be able to do spaced repetition flashcards for each specific section (e.g. Greetings, Faith etc), that would help greatly with learning, rather than just clicking on each phrase in a list

Thanks for the nice app!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for sticking with the app! I'm really glad you're enjoying the redesigned interface, the audio quality, and the growing collection of Twi phrases. I also appreciate your suggestions—they're excellent. Giving learners the option to study more than 10 phrases a day and adding spaced repetition for individual categories like Greetings, Faith, and Travel are both ideas I've been considering, and feedback like yours helps prioritize future updates. Thanks again for your support and for taking the time to share such helpful feedback. Medaase! 🙏
