The love of words

Cerebral paradise

Wow

I cannot stress how amazing this is it literally changed my life

This app is part of my life

I wouldn't be without this app - or the accompanying books. I care about my language, culture and history.

Very Cool

I love this app and have 3 widgets of it, all telling different things, only thing Id like to make it a 5 star is a search bar. Looking for specific words is impossible in this app, and or a build in translator 🀍

Top-style app for sure

This is the most upper-style app I have ever gotten my fingers and joints around. Mad-style Hogtober

there should be more apps like this

this scratches a very particular itch in my brain to have semi-gamelike apps on my phone without them really being games. bonus points because i love learning fun things and history, so this is awesome :) lovely aesthetics and the attention to detail in the UI makes it just so fun!! 100/10 app, please continue to make awesome stuff!!! ive been looking for an app that just acts as a modern day wordhord, just to keep track of words id like to sprinkle into my own writing than arent in old english (as much as i would love to be able to write in it!), and i feel like the developers of this app are the only ones that could do the concept justice πŸ‰βš”οΈ

Best Old English App:

This is the best Old English app I have ever used. It is very useful for studying the language, and is even better with all the pictures for the words and the Medieval style of the app.

Wow how far we've acum.

Feel’s visceral repeating these sounds the tongue gets so involved.

Learn an olde language

Entertaining and educational. Word-of-the-day at its very finest!

Huzzah!

Very well designed app. The widget is great and I love the little pictures they have with it.

Phonetics

Would get five stars but the ai voice.

Words

Brilliant, addictive and each word can be applied creatively! Inspired to buy the 2 associated books and have done! Thank you

The Best Old English Language Reference App on the AppStore!

I love how easy it is to look up and pinpoint Old English words for use in my translations, and always enjoy seeing the new word of the day. The user interface is absolutely beautiful, and I love the Anglo-Saxon inspired Germanic art style and colour choice along with the gold leaf effect that shines and shimmers around the borders of the UI. Love it!

This is an excellent app

I have enjoyed this app for about 18 months now and it is one of the few apps on my phone that I use on a daily basis. My educational background as both a student and a retired teacher has largely focused on English and the historical development of the language. This app has been a complete delight to use.

This Wonderful Language of Ours

Easy daily access to that culture that people are so unaware of yet they use it every single day. And easy access to the images that filled their minds. Copy one and when you work at it to get it right then you SEE the skills they had in simply observing and recording….and then how they were prepared to create their language and push its boundaries expressing their ideas and their imaginations. This website drops a word-jewel in front of me every day. It is a pure joy

A delight

Love guessing the word meaning each day and overall just a really well-done app in design and ease of use. The ability to hoard is extra fun!

J'adore

I use it every day. Such a great way to keep updating/refreshing my Anglo-Saxon vocabulary!! So well designed.

Wish there were sentence examples

I wish there were examples of how the word might be used in a sentence. So we might understand the grammatically appropriate usage. Preferably both used in a sentence composed entirely in Old English and a sentence showing how these words might be used in conjunction with modern English.

It does what it ought do

It’s fun and nice. If they could change anything, I’d love to see inflection charts come to the app, but it works without them.
