Easy to use, with some issues

Great adaptation of the dictionary into app form. Quite a few times though I have searched a word that I know is in the dictionary but because of a spelling mistake within the word it does not appear in the search results. I then have to manually locate it by scrolling through alphabetically until I find it and discover the issue. Still wonderful and convenient but could do with an editor going through to make the necessary corrections

Not a Complete Dictionary

Itʻs definitely helpful and a resourceful source to confirm word translation and their meaning. It is my “go-to” dictionary to translate & correctly spell the word accurately. Thank you for providing a useful tool!

Missing some words

I like this app. It’s just missing some words like: ‘olevá, mapuhoi, etc

Response from developer

Saia, thank you for downloading Tongan-English Dictionary for iOS! We appreciate your feedback and are working to identify new/missing definitions. Please send any suggestions you may have to jordan@tongandictionary.com and we'll make sure to review them! For your information as well, the phrase "'oua leva" (which when spoken quickly can sound like "'oleva") translates to "hold up" or "wait a second".

Pretty Good

This dictionary is pretty good. It is searchable. I like the Exact Match, Words Starting With…, and Words Containing…features. There are some misspelled words and some of the links don’t work. I hope that the updates will correct the misspelled words because this is critical for all dictionaries.

Tkaili, mālō 'aupito for using our app! We are currently working on updating misspelling errors found within the dictionary. We appreciate your feedback and patience as we work to improve the app!

It works great

I recant my previous review. Having taken the time to listen to my complaint. The issue with my phone was fixed. And the app is really very good. I give it highest marks allowed.

What a wonderful tool. Unique to this language, I am so grateful to have this in my phone.

I recommend this app to everyone learning to speak Tongan .

And I apologize for not being smart enough to fix my other review.

UPDATE: We now support dark mode so the app should work on your iPhone 11! Mālō 'aupito for purchasing the app! I'm so sorry to hear it isn't working and would love to help remedy that. If you could please email me at jordan@tongandictionary.com we can work to see what's going on.

Finally 🙏

Great tool. Been waiting for an online Tongan dictionary for the longest time. Where do we report potential spelling errors though? Eg “Shop lifting” translates to kauha’a. Instead of kaiha’a. Anyways, thank you! Love this app and totally recommend the download! Super quick response too :)

Great app

Worthwhile addition & well worth the money.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Easy to navigate and find exactly what you’re looking for.

Black and red

The definitions are black text in black boxes, you can’t use the app without taking extra steps to copy and paste the definition into a separate location.

So sorry for the trouble. Great news! We've updated our app to support dark mode so you should now be able to use the app without seeing black boxes with black text. Send me an email at jordan@tongandictionary.com if you have any other concerns and we'll be glad to help!

This doesn’t show the definitions

Really useful but...

This app is really handy and has most words I’m looking for to form sentences. But it would be better if it had examples of when to use the words and the pronunciation. But still, a great app!
