Forvo Pronunciation App Reviews

Bad user experience after update

It should only take one click to find out the pronunciation of a word, now it takes 2-3 clicks for each search, and another 2-3 clicks to go back to search a new word...

Awesome

this is something ive been looking for uncommon words

So helpful

The more you read the more you come across words where pronunciation correctly is a must. This app is going to help me immensely.

Love this app

Its a great idea to collect pronunciation from users who are native speakers. One suggestion: I hope there is a button to launch a new search so I dont need to press "back" twice and delete the last searched word character by character.

Great app!

A great app for foreigners. -Highly recommended Thanks for whoever thought of making this app

New version with great features

World needs this application for knowing the correct pronunciation of words in each language specially the names. The new version is perfect and stable.

Excellent!

Being able to hear native speakers is extremely helpful for language learning and this app/website does a nice, straightforward job of it

Super helpful

Ive been trying to learn Hebrew (online) which can be difficult when pronunciations arent included and google translate doesnt have any either. This app (and the website version) are super useful and make this whole process much smoother.

Suggestion!

Its great app to learn the pronunciation, but I cant listen to more than 100 worlds in my favorite list. Would you enlarge it?

Delightful, useful

Provides audio files of words in multiple languages. Extremely helpful.

Appmazing

Love it. I downloaded it as a curiosity and personal reference for new words I might come across while reading. Ive ended up using it while traveling and I think It might have saved me from sounding the fool on more than one occasion using this before heading out to a new location..local place names alone can be tricky and Ive found a lot of them here. Amazing app.

Well done and so helpful!

This app is a tremendously helpful tool for anyone learning a second language or to just help with foreign words that are difficult to pronounce. The recordings are clear and these are REAL voices--not those computer generated pronunciations. There are often a few different voices for more popular words. Overall, very, very well done.

Essential

I use this app EVERY day and find it is essential for mastering a new language. Pronunciation for languages that use diacrtics is not always straightforward, but Forvo comes to the rescue all the time. Cheers!!

Omg!

This app is so amazing and helpful! I just downloaded it and already love it. Thank you for this amazing app

Good

Very good

Comes in handy more often than you think

I love having a pronunciation guide in my pocket! A few scenarios its come in handy: * At a French or Italian restaurant and not sure how to pronounce that item on the menu you want to order? Or a bottle of wine? * How do you say the name of that prescription medication? * Practicing for a presentation or meeting and want to ensure perfect pronunciation of a word?

I really wanted to like this...

But it crashed 5 times while I was trying to look up one word. I gave up and deleted the app. I can find pronunciations on the internet anyway. Nice idea though.

Fantastic before update

I loved this app-even recommended it to students. It was easy, thorough, and helpful. Now its cumbersome and non-intuitive.

Its a good idea but keeps crashing

I found this app and I thought it would be very helpful learning other languages by myself but it crashes every time I try to hear someones pronunciation.

Keep crash

Im using iPad Air 2, and I dont know why Im giving two stars while it keeps crashing
