Great for learning Maori but annoying keyboard
I love this app. It’s perfectly structured to learn Maori, however the keyboard really needs to be improved a bit. When typing you will often miss keys without realising and have to backspace or fiddle around to get cursor in correct place to fix mistakes, macrons and spaces.
This could be fixed by having the keyboard react in the same way the average phone keyboard does, where you can see the letter pop up above your finger as you press it, or have the space bar turn grey while pressing it, even audible clacking sounds as you type so you know you pressed the key.
So many times you think you pressed the macron key but didn’t and have to go back and fix everything.
Perhaps when you press the macron key, the keyboard should change colour or something so you can clearly see it’s on (or even just the letters that have macrons). Not to mention the subtle lag it takes to switch to macrons when you press the button.
Another alternative could be holding down a key to bring up the macron version of it.
Either way I would 5 star this app if not for the keyboard. Perfect app for learning Maori, but the keyboard is annoying. Would definitely 5 star if the keyboard was fixed.

VoiceOver/accessibility compatibility
Kia ora, our family has used this app for a long time, and recommend it to everybody… up until the last update. Everything worked very well with VoiceOver enabled on iOS, but since updating, I cannot use the app at all, with VoiceOver turned on… Please help.
Really excellent
It’s good as a language app in and of itself, I haven’t tried any other apps for Te Reo Māori but the interface is better than Duolingo. Despite not having all the stars and trophies that supposedly “gamify” learning, I found this app plenty addicting.
The only wish I could have is that the letters on the keyboard were a bit bigger! There’s room on the keys for them to be. Please have aroha on my old eyes!

Love it!
So far am loving this app for the content and learning.
But like a lot of people have said the keyboard is a bit annoying.
I’d suggest making the check button a little smaller and making space a bit larger. Maybe switching the macron button and the capital button around as well. And maybe making a slight vibrate when hitting the keys or enlarging as typing like on a apple keyboard.
