Not runes

This app does not display real runes!! Dissapointed!

Not bad

There are multiple ruining scripts besides the Hungarian. It would take this app from good to great if it could:
1. Allow selection of different scripts
2. Have a pronunciation guide for each rune.
3. Have a audio guide so you can actually hear the pronunciation.
4. Have some way to save output.
5. Have some tutorial.
And yes, I'd expect to pay for all that!

Minimal

Simple and minimal. Just what's needed for translation.

I like it

But it needs a way to be able to save & send what you've written via text
