Does NOT work

Shortly after I PURCHASED Forvo it stopped working! Why? Every time I click on the app it starts to open but then returns to my desktop

Forgo

I used the online version with success, so I bought the app. Searching for the same word in German I had found online gave result. What is that about?

Forvo

Learning Welsh would be impossible without Forvo.

Misleading

Searched a word online, and got the pronunciation so I decided to get the app to hear it, but the app says "word not found" whats up with that? $2.99? Really?

Fantastic!

Very handy mobile app - use it almost daily in the course of my work in the wine business. Well designed!

Love to use this application!!

Very useful.

Useful tool

Use it quite often, has most of the romanian words I am looking for but if it doesnt I just use the site, either way Ive found it to be a useful tool in my studies.

Educator, ED.S

Great App. Excellent for in class use.

Forvo very helpful

Pronunciations very helpful. Look forward to new feature allowing request. Would like pronunciations for all verb forms and tenses.

Quite useful

This APP is helpful in my tutoring an ESL student.

Endless Searching Loop

Tried searching for words, but goes into endless search loop. Only way to exit is to delete app. Also, search for a word brings up totally unrelated word. Not worth it right now.

Mr

This is a good example of riding name recognition wave. Most people, just like me, would buy this because they have used online version. The problem is that unlike online version this one does not work. Available vocabulary is tiny. If you need German- it is simply not there. Save your $3 - this app is not an equivalent of the online version and does not work.

Life saver

I worked in a high-end restaurant, and forvo was a godsend when trying to figure out pronunciations of French, Italian, Spanish, German and creole cuisine names, and dont get me started on the wine names. I love this app.

Will not open; keeps crashing

Ive been using the Forvo app for over a year, but the most recent version crashes every time I try to open it. I have to uninstall and then reinstall the app to get it to open and then it will only open one time before it begins crashing again. I have deleted it from my iPhone now. The constant crashing and unreliability of the app, with all of its instability, is cumbersome. Im on the hunt for another app like Forvo once again. Very disappointed.

Big help in French

Grateful I finally found help in mastering the nuances of French pronunciation. Appreciate the multiple male and female speaker choices for most words.

Not enough features

Ive decided to keep the app, but I was really disappoint when I first downloaded it and saw that it lacked a lot of features the website has. Will more features be added soon? Please update!!!

Forvo

Disappointment! App doesnt work on iPhone well. Live and learn. The website on a laptop works better.

Good app

This app comes in handy from time to time. Never had a problem with it

Best for foreign language lerners

It is the best way to hear native speakers pronouncing the words and phrases

Awesome app

Please make it available for iPad as well
