All it does is translate. It doesn't actually audibly tell you how to pronounce the words so it's basically a pointless app. ### 3/5 — Good *2014-03-16* Good app you souls get it. I would give it 5stars if it spoke what you typed in the irish accent. ### 2/5 — Speaking Irish *2013-11-20* Cool translating English to Irish but stick to pages and u have to log out of it to get back to a screen ### 3/5 — Awesome *2012-12-29* I love this app it's really good!! :) but the only thing is it doesn't have any sound to tell you how to say but other than that I love it ### 4/5 — Lards a fun *2012-07-21, version 3.1* Having fun with this app. ### 3/5 — Irish on crack *2012-03-20* It's fun. Wish you would throw some more galic words into it and allow copy and paste ### 2/5 — No way *2011-11-01* This apps crap. I(bein irish) no dat dis app has no idea how we talk! It dosent even give de way we sound ither like google translate! Defiatley a no buy an not even worth 69p! ### 4/5 — What I needed *2011-10-20* I already could do the Irish accent this helped me perfect the vocabulary. If you don't know how to do the accent then it does only show words but if you can pull the accent off then works great. ### 2/5 — not enough slang *2010-03-14, version 0* not enough change from what you write to the converted version. nice idea but needs a larger database of words to convert. ### 1/5 — Description is totally misleading *2009-08-24* What a rip-off. Here's how the developer describes his app: "Improve on your ACCENTS and DIALECT for acting," and "Satisfy your curiosity about Irish slang and how Irishmen and women SPEAK." How the heck can you do that when this app doesn't come with any sound? You can't READ an ACCENT--or get any sense of the way people SPEAK by READing the words and not hearing them. The description in the App Store should say 'satisfy your curiosity about the way the Irish WRITE'--because all this app does is give you a written translation of whatever phrase you type in. That wouldn't be so bad if that's the way the app was described--but it wasn't. And, I really feel cheated. I wish I could get my money back for false representation. I don't know where these good reviews are coming from. ### 3/5 — =[ *2009-06-12* Meh! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-03-21* Even if your goal was to tell a few Irish hooked at the pub - the only joke self be your accent. ### 1/5 — How is this app useful? *2018-03-22* This app is not going to help you learn to speak with an Irish accent. There’s no audio. All there is is two text boxes: input and translation. Not at all helpful. ### 1/5 — Not even worth $1.00 *2013-01-16, version 3.1* I never give bad reviews of inexpensive apps but this app is a joke. ### 1/5 — Mike *2012-09-01* Not worth 6c never 69 !! Rubbish ### 1/5 — Useless *2012-08-31* def not worth the money... doesn't even know the simplest translations... to be honest: useless... sorry : ( ... ### 1/5 — waste of time, $$ *2012-06-27, version 3.1* this app is worthless! It has no audio and hearing how gaelic is pronounced is 99% of learning to speak it ### 1/5 — Warning - Don't waste $ *2012-05-26* All the 5star "reviews" HAVE to be written by the App company just to balance out real reviews like this one. This app has NO audio - you can't hear any actual audible translation, so you can't really learn any true dialect. Hopefully this review will save others their wasted $. ### 1/5 — Irish app *2012-01-01* One of the worst app available - take it off - no star rating for me ### 1/5 — Can't get it to work ... *2011-12-09, version 3.0* Can't get any audio out it it. Contacted their support but they never responded. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2010-07-23, version 0* Where is the voice??!! What a waste of $$. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Don't waste your money!! *2013-03-14* Inaccurate. Only changes a few words and none of them are translated properly. ### 5/5 — Learning irish *2013-02-09* This App is Fun i like it 😁😴💛😝😄❤💙❤💙one of my favorites :) ### 5/5 — Fun - not a dialogue coach *2012-08-29* There's no audio but if you find a good system to teach you an accent, this is a great backup tool for reminding you of pronunciations. ### 5/5 — Ace *2012-08-23* Vee! ### 5/5 — Cool App- Very Fun *2011-12-10* This is a fantastic app. The developer obviously has a great sense of humor. Lots of fun, check it out. ### 5/5 — Great! *2011-04-12* This app is great. And it works.. defiantly worth the money ### 5/5 — An irish life for me *2009-04-19* By far the best irish app on the app store today! ### 5/5 — Speakin Irish *2009-03-08* Oi love de 1.2 update - keeping de capitalizashun av de original text makes de app even better. T'anks! ### 5/5 — Luck O' The Irish *2009-02-25, version 0* Love this app! A must have! ### 5/5 — St Patrick's Day party talk *2009-02-25* I am so excited that I found this app before St Patty's Day. I am Irish so I can't wait to start translating all my favorite sayings to my friends and relatives. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
