Frustrated
I have found the app hard to navigate when you put in a word in the search engine and it comes up with not being able to find the word try checking spelling or add other word to help the search. Im learning te reo so that can be a challenge. This has happened with more words than words that have been helpful that i search. Also when downloading the app on phone to laptop ther are 2 different prices. If you have it on your phone you cant transfer it to your laptop to use. You have to pay for both apps. One more thing when downloading the app it does not give you clear information that this is a weekly subscription or a one off. For the life of me i cant find where you unsubscribe like other subacriptions. There is not contacting email to sort out errors.

Almost great
As a learner of te reo, I use this app daily. Usually multiple times a day, in fact. It’s helpful as!
Two things could make it excellent and earn that fifth star.
1. When you go into the app, it plays a cute animation of a tūī, and then slides the search box into place. You have to wait two seconds for this to complete before you can search for your kupu. Not a big deal at first, but when you use it hundreds or thousands of times, it gets tedious. I want to look up my word quickly. An on/off setting to show the animation or not would allow everyone to be happy.
2. The search is only exact. If you have the spelling off at all, you get no results. Some sort of fuzzy search result like, “I couldn’t find that word. Did you mean…?” with a few choices close to my errant spelling. I mean, sometimes I’m looking something up exactly because I’m unsure of the spelling!
