### 5/5 — Easy, Helpful

*2026-04-17*

I’m brushing up on my Norwegian, which I haven’t practiced in decades. It’s coming back with this quick and easy language tutorial app .

### 4/5 — Norsk

*2023-09-04, version 5.8.0*

Norwegian, not enough words for Mens Room, Ladies Room, Menu and Norwegian Restaurant items..

### 4/5 — Speed

*2023-08-13, version 5.8.0*

Needs to be slower

### 3/5 — Words

*2023-06-27, version 5.8.0*

You need to add more words

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2023-06-13*

This helps me to communicate with my Norwegian family as we are mostly Norwegian but English is my prominent language. No more Google translate at family reunions thanks to this lovely app! It customizes itself to match my learning pace and I love it so much!!!

### 5/5 — Helt fantastisk!

*2022-09-24*

Extremely logically laid out, visually appealing, uncluttered and with a fantastically clear male pronouncer.
One of the best apps that I have ever used, really.
The free version is a great start and the full version is absolutely worth $12.
Hours and hours of language instruction for the price of one inexpensive meal out.
A total no-brainer.

### 2/5 — Understand what you're getting FIRST

*2021-06-21*

There is nothing that annoys me quite as much as as product misrepresentation. So let's be clear about this "dictionary" (the search term I used when looking for this app). Unless you pay the full price of $12, what you'll be getting is a VERY brief, scarcely useful, phrase book that wouldn't even be useful for travel. (What good would something for travel be without the word "time"?)
    Please understand--I'm not saying we should get a full dictionary for free every time. I'm just saying, "Be very clear what you are offering."
    In addition (and this is not Nemo's fault, although a little extra guidance is always appreciated), I went to Apple's Keyboard Settings so that words I looked up would appear correctly when I saw them, but it offered (to my surprise) two different keyboards, so at this point I'm trying one of them to see if any of the words that come up in the app appear the same as they do on the screen when I watch my favorite Norwegian TV show on my computer or iPad.
     I have paid the $12 and downloaded "the full list," although at 1404 words, "full" would not meet some people's definition of the term, but I will leave it to each purchaser to determine worth. I'm just starting to learn Norwegian (although I speak English, Russian, and a few other languages, so that of course helps greatly) and so will no doubt acquire other materials to help me learn.
    Best of luck to all.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2021-04-29, version 5.8.0*

I was enjoying the app until I found out they only teach you a few basic phrases unless you pay to upgrade. I will be deleting the app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-11-07, version 5.8.0*

Great app, fun to use.

### 5/5 — Best Norsk learning app

*2020-10-02, version 5.8.0*

The most amazing part is the 2 side cards I appreciate that😍
