### 5/5 — Solomon

*2025-02-02*

Here is an all-inclusive vernacular dictionary that not only teaches the meaning of the Yoruba indigenous words, but also instructs one on the dialect, word pronunciations,  and etymological roots of words. I strongly recommend this Yoruba dictionary to both non-Yoruba learners and native Yoruba speakers alike. This is amazingly a compendium of the Yoruba language at your finger tip.

### 2/5 — Could be the perfect app

*2025-01-12*

The app is so close to perfect, it just crashes every two seconds and there’s ads everywhere, I’m on iPhone

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we truly appreciate you trying out the Yoruba Dictionary App! We were aware of the crash issue and have released an update to fix it. Please update to the latest version and let us know at admin@theaflangproject.org if you’re still experiencing any issues.

Regarding ads, they help support the ongoing development and maintenance of the app, ensuring we can continue improving it. However, we also offer a Premium upgrade that removes ads and unlocks additional features for an even better experience. Subscribing not only enhances your experience but also directly supports our work in preserving and promoting the Yoruba language. You can tap the Unlock banner on the Home screen to learn more.

We’d love for you to enjoy the improved experience! If everything is working well for you now after the latest update (or after our assistance), we’d greatly appreciate it if you could update your rating and review. Your support means a lot to us and helps us continue improving the app for you and the entire Yoruba language community. Thank you once again!
