### 5/5 — OVER 250 WORDS TO LEARN!!

*2025-06-21, version 1.42*

There are over 250 words to learn on this amazing app.(sorry had to count) love the pictures and sounds in both English and Cherokee . LET’S GO TSALAGI!!!! WADO!!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2019-10-18, version 1.42*

I’m very great full for the app seeing as there are few ways to learn the language. Wado to the creators, may you strive for the survival of the sacred language.

### 3/5 — Some problems

*2019-09-18, version 1.42*

Two major disappointments. 
1. Screens indicate sounds available but there are no sounds. 
2. Login is only with Facebook. FB is a major privacy violator and not to be trusted. Login should support direct account setup using email as ID and a selected password.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-01-12, version 1.42*

Good way to learn ᏣᎳᎩ

### 1/5 — Sad

### 5/5 — A great app

*2017-06-20*

It's difficult learning Cherokee, since it has a much smaller amount of learning materials than the more popular European and Asian languages. But this app adds quality material for me to learn. Wado!!

### 1/5 — No pronunciations

*2016-10-07, version 1.31*

It's all English. No translation at all

### 5/5 — Tribal Council

### 5/5 — Great App

I love this app. Great quality. I wish there were other versions available to continue education.

### 5/5 — Great app for eastern Cherokee!

*2015-07-24, version 1.31*

Well done app. I was surprised by the great quality. Please add more!
