### 5/5 — Ese pupo!

*2022-11-04*

Thank you so much for this high quality application. It has been so helpful in teaching my children yoruba and I’ve learned some things myself.

### 5/5 — Where has this App been hiding?

*2021-02-11*

By far the best I’ve seen so far. It’s actual Yoruba, not the Anglicized version of Yoruba that I’ve encountered different places...when I saw Fitila...instead of Lampu, I knew this was the app for me and my son. The voices are forcefully employed in the pronunciations, which my 3 year old responds to enthusiastically. (It might be jarring to western ears) 

I look forward to updates.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-10-29, version 3.2*

Really great app.

### 4/5 — Just lovely!

*2020-08-18*

I started learning Yoruba to understand my hubby’s culture better and decided to try this app and I loved it! The games are simple but the enthusiasm in the audio content makes it really fun to play and helps vocabulary stick. The cultural music in the background and the collectables also add a nice touch. 
The content is a bit limited and there are no grammar explanations for the sentences provided but it’s helpful in getting familiar with the sounds of the language, for gaining some vocabulary, and for immersion and can be used along side other learning resources.
I think this app would be wonderful for kids of parents that want them to have a bit more exposure to the language.

**Developer response:** Thank you :-)

### 5/5 — Learned with grandma

*2020-06-17*

I picked this up to learn More Yoruba. My grandma, who is fluent loved the app and we would work on gaining the achievements together. 

The app is interactive, and the UI is done well.

Only thing I wish is that there were more lessons to learn in the app

**Developer response:** Thank you. We have more lessons in Yoruba102 (GeniiGames App)

### 5/5 — A Yoruba app made for me!!!

*2018-10-08*

After discovering via DNA test (Thanks African Ancestry!!!!!) that I hail from the Yoruba tribe I have been trying to learn the language. I have purchased paper back & ebooks (which are ok), but I was seeking an interactive & fun way to learn Yoruba before visiting Yorubaland in Nigeria next year!

Now it looks like this app will help accelerate my learning via fun interactive games & songs! Yay! 

Note: I am surprised the prices are this affordable as I paid $50 for one Yoruba book (& much more for other books & apps elsewhere).

**Developer response:** Thank you

### 5/5 — Phenomenal App!!

*2018-08-23, version 3.2*

I grew up hearing Yoruba but responding in English as I didn’t value the language at the time. This is a perfect tool to stay in touch and learn vital skills (intonation and pronunciation which can make a huge difference to the quality of learning). Thank you! 

P.S. it would be even better if the time out speeds were longer

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2017-09-10*

This app is well put together! Makes learning Yoruba fun!

**Developer response:** Thank you.

### 5/5 — Very good app🎉

*2017-06-01, version 3.1*

Very good app but wish I could unlock the other levels for free tho

### 4/5 — Great application!

*2017-03-17, version 3.1*

Simple to use and understand. I look forward to the next update so that I can give it 5 stars
