A little broken at times
In general works well, but a couple of shortcomings make it so that I still have to go to the main website:
- No way to look up the long-vowel (e.g. ó) entries. Always gives a blank page.
- No way to load additional example phrases as on the website.

Needs an update
Needs an update badly for iOS. The sound files now have an obvious stutter and other glitches. Pity as the app would be excellent.
Iontach
Great app, but would be lovely if it worked in split screen mode on ios. And if it had a setting to allow paste from other apps without having to confirm every time one switches to it.
Is breá liom é
Is breá liom an app seo. Cabhraíonn sé liom nuair a bhím ag léamh leabhar nua nó Tuairisc.ie
Sílim go teastaíonn rud eile uaidh:
I think the definition text needs better formatting - when a word or verb has many different uses, it’s hard to visually scan - there should be a new line/paragraph per usage.
Níl sé ach mo thuairimse!
Go raibh maith agaibh

Audio problem
I see others also had stuttering problems with the pronunciation dictionary on this app. I am also having that problem on my iPad. It was resolved for them and I hope you can fix it for me.
iPad iOS 18 Version Crashing With Every Search..
This has been an important and useful app and works fine on my phone.. But since the iOS 18 iPad update the app crashes with every single attempt to search for a word. Working great on my phone, but useless now on my iPad.
Great dictionary
I’ve been using this dictionary in conjunction with Duolingo. I have found it to be an excellent source. I have especially found useful the audible pronunciation aspect of the dictionary.
No audio anymore?
I loved and made good use of this app, but now the audio recordings aren’t working at all! I deleted the app, downloaded it again and reinstalled the dictionaries and sound files. Still no luck. Developers, can you help?
Best learning investment!!
I don’t remember what, if anything, I paid for this, but whatever it was, it was worth it!! This is such a valuable learning tool for me as I work on learning Irish. I use it constantly as a (necessary!!) augmentation to Duolingo, and my learning experience has become so much richer with additional context speeding up my understanding of the language. Go raibh míle maith agat!!! I do notice the issue with voice files “stuttering” as mentioned by other users, and while it would be good to fix if possible, I am still finding them useful. Again, GRMA, I’d give you 10 stars and all the hearts if I could. :-)

Outstanding but could do with an update
This is absolutely first class dictionary for Irish study. It contains three full dictionaries, a grammar resource, and sound files for three dialects. All of this is downloadable offline. The search function is very fast (if a little unforgiving of missing fadas).
Content wise I cannot fault it, however, whilst very usable there are a couple of minor app flaws:
1. Sound files “stutter” when played back
2. App does not fill the whole screen
3. The “deep search” results cut off at a certain point only showing the top 20 or so results
I note that the app has not been updated in four years, at the time of writing. I would still not hesitate to recommend this, but it would be nice to have a small update to correct these minor issues. Thank you to the developers of the app.

Audio is off
This used to be a favorite language learning application but it is now one of the worst. What I liked most was the fact that the app provided audio files of actual Irish language speakers from the three main dialects pronouncing words available with that feature. But at some point within the last few years, the files started “hiccup-ing” the words making it sound as if the speaker is stuttering. This is no way to learn what a word sounds like! I removed and reloaded the app but that was useless. There is no point in praising the other great features in this app because the audio degrades their usefulness. Please fix this for the five stars this app once deserved. Otherwise it is just garbage.

I hate this
BALLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Excellent app overall, but audio glitch is annoying
This app works great and is very usefull and used to be a 5 star overall for me. BUT, for about the last 8 months I have noticed a bug when playing sound files. The first ~ 1/10th of a second is repeated, making every pronunciation sound like a stutter.
This happens regardless of which dialect or word is selected. Restarting my phone didn’t help. Deleting and reinstalling the pronunciation dictionary didn’t help. Nor did deleting and reinstalling the entire app. I’m running the app on an iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 15.2.1.
It would be nice to see this corrected if/when you can spare the resources as pronunciation probably accounts for 75% of my usage. Nevertheless, I still love this app! GRMMA for making it available.

Fadhb amháin…Audio problem!
Is maith liom an aip seo. Tá mé sásta agus is féidir linn an Fhraincis a úsáid leis. Go raibh maith agaibh!
Tá an aip seo iontach, ach mar a dúirt daoine eile, tá fadhb leis na fuaimeanna ar an bhfón cliste. Deisigh é, le do thoil! B’fhearr liom cúig réaltaí a thabhairt daoibh!

Recordings play 2x
When I press a word to get the audio the words are said twice like a stutter, other than this major error its a good app.
Great app but needs an update
It’s been two years since its last update. This app has fallen behind in content compared to the website. Useful in a pinch, but the website is better.
Audio glitches / plays double
I love the web version. I mainly use it for the pronunciations, but the iPhone version has a bug that causes it to repeat the beginning of each word, in all three dialects. Today I looked up “áisiúil” (handy) and all three dialects said “Aw-Awshool!” Every word does this. I deleted and reinstalled and made sure I had the current version but the bug persists.

The sound files stutter
On apple iOS 14.6 the sound files now have an obvious stutter. Apart from that the app is excellent.
Caomhan.

Love it! But a backarrow would make it perfect
This app is so helpful. It would be perfect if I could back up to where ever I was before. This would enable discovery and searching which is crucial to language learning. For example, I search on Bain. I then click on one of the links but then I can't back up to the main page for Bain, I have to retype it in again. Am I missing something?
