Forvo Pronunciation アプリのレビュー

マイナー言語を勉強している私にとってはすごく使い勝手がいいです。 欲を言えばもう少し単語数が増えたらな…と。でもそれ以外は素晴らしいので、これからも使い続けるアプリになりそうです。

どこの地域の方の発音か地図で見れたり…というアプリのバージョンアップをお願いします。

チェコ語ラテン語やって見ました。ホンモノの発音がわかる貴重なツールですね。とてもいいです。

外国の名前の読み方は見当もつかないことが多く、 このアプリで助かることが多い。 ただ、たまに載っていないものがあるのが残念。

普通の辞書にも載っていない言葉だけど、載っていて発音がわかって嬉しかったです。これからも活用させてもらいます。

道端で、録音しているのでしょう 気になってイライラします！ それと、クセのある発音の人も入っているので 参考になりません！

仕組みは素晴らしいので存続してほしいけどアプリを買う必要はない．webにある単語がアプリでは出てこないし，ログインできないし，単語の追加もできないし…．こんなことなら最初からwebで寄付すれば良かった．

日本語対応して欲しいです…

SafariからForvoを使っていましたが、アプリのほうが断然快適です。通信速度制限もあまり気にせず使えます。

Extremely helpful for short phrases.

Great app, great service. I hope users can save their inquiries and other users can find them and provide authentic pronunciation according to the languages.

Crashes sometimes and doesn’t always have the Portugal Portuguese pronunciation. I’ve requested for a few words to be pronounced and haven’t heard a thing back

It has none of the pronunciation I need.

Better off using the free website. Constantly shuts down when I search for a word. Often useless.

Freezes and quits 99% of the time. It does so before even offering up a pronounciation. It’s hard to feel ripped off over 2.99 but somehow this app made me feel like hiring a lawyer to pursue getting my $3 back. (I won’t, obviously, but such was the level of frustration this app engendered in me!) Don’t be like me; don’t waste your money!

Sadly frustrating. Firstly the app requires a login and password although it continually crashes in setting up this account. You apparently CANNOT use it for anything before getting the account setup. If I’ve already paid WHY do I need to give you information?

Wow there are even dialects!

Honestly I downloaded and bought it and lost my money, it's a nothing app, too weak additional its ux ui design is pretty bad, not user friendly and very slow. Not worth it.

This is a great way to improve any language you are learning, I love it.

Unfortunately, the app no longer works. It hasn’t been updated for a year. It was great when it worked, but appears to be abandonware now.

I just wanted to hear some words pronounced correctly, not give up all of my personal info to join a cult. Useless.

Constantly crashed in all kinds of ways: when I was signing up it kept crashing; when I tried to verify email confirmation when signing up it crashed; when I tried to send my pronunciation it always fails by showing “your pronunciation has not been saved correctly”; when I tried to type a review/feedback in the app it crashes. Never does this app not crash

App constantly freezes while searching words…website has always worked without a problem. Forvo is agreat resource but I can’t recommend the app…go straight to the website.

Regret purchasing. 1) Front page of app has Trending terms and porn-related terms are right there. 2) can’t correct typo of a search term and app freezes and crashes.

If you love frustrations and getting nowhere but a gray screen no matter; this app is for you ! Not worth it even free because it is no function but gray screen! What a waste of money and energy!

Great idea and decent execution. But the app freezes constantly. Needs an update for iPhone.

This app is super helpful to listen to pronunciation by native speakers. Love that the community uploads pronunciation, so your hearing not just professional dictation, but real speakers with their various dialects.

Grriego antiguo

They aren’t trying to paywall or money grab, just education and helping people with pronounciation, the app works like u need it you can favorite words you are learning to properly say, underrated website

این برنامه اصلا برای فارسی کار نمی کند. و فقط یکی دو کلمه برای تلفظ عربی پیدا کردم.

I’m experiencing the same issue others are reporting. I consistently have to open the app twice: first time it always freezes and/or crashes. The second time opening I can usually type the word I’m searching for BUT if I hesitate or don’t immediate add a space after the word I’ve typed, the auto suggests some other random word and THEN freezes. But if I quickly add the space then it usually works well enough. In short..it could be a super helpful resource but currently only works about one third of the time.

Which is about 50% of the time. The other 50% it asks me to sign in every single time I open it and frequently fails to recognize my login credentials. *08/07/24: it doesn’t work at all now, just freezes as soon as you try to search for something.

I type in the search box and the app freezes. Deleting the app and using the website instead.

This app is a great boon to my learning to speak Irish! Love it!

App freezes immediately when trying to use it. Support was no help and not informative. Apple won’t refund so now I have to dispute

Despite the bad reviews, I wanted to download because it would be useful for my language study. But I downloaded and immediately the app didn’t work. Couldn’t get the sign in page to work. Error when I tried to connect via Apple ID or google. And can’t access the actual recordings.

Needs a serious update. Constantly crashing when words are spell checked by Apple. As a result mostly unusable. This is a shame because the software used to be very useful

It crashes and needs an update.

I have TWO stars instead of ONE because the web platform is a holy grail in my language learning tool kit, however the app is unusable from both my phone and iPad, which are both recent models and updated to the most recent iOS. I open it, I can’t even finish typing something in the search bar before it freezes and force quits. It does the same thing from either device. So there are bugs that need to be worked out, but this would be great if it actually worked. So I’ll just have to use the desktop interface until this gets updated to a functional level.

Thank you for this incredible resource. Its a fantastic tool for language learners and anyone interested in linguistics.

Very good resource when Forvo doesn’t just crash. Will there be a bug fix?

Need to fix the bugs in it before selling it

It needs to be improved

The app is completely nonfunctional. There’s no clear reason why you should have to sign in on the app before doing *anything* when you can search for and listen to words just fine on the website without an account. Then, it crashes repeatedly when you try to sign in or make an account. Apple should take this app out of the App Store. Obviously a waste of $3, and it’s so buggy and awful that I’m almost worried it’s malware.

This app is so useful in hearing pronunciations that are actually used!

We need a fix to add a couple things that are easy to add. There’s a way to report an incorrect pronunciation, even your own pronunciation. We need an edit button in our profile. Yes, the option is there initially, but an edit button (in our profile, to edit what we pronounced) would be perfect. There’s a thunderstorm right now-I can hear it in the background-I didn’t notice until I already hit send. I’d love to correct that. One other issue I’d like to address: I speak Laotian/Lao. It uses a completely different alphabet. It’s unclear how to properly enter the words/phrase if you're set to (for example) American English. Should you change your profile setting to Laotian? Should you enter the foreign phrase using the Latin Alphabet, for people whom seek the phrase, who are native English speakers? Should you type the word in the Lao alphabet and add an English transliteration? That would be helpful. Laotian pronunciation isn’t easy to find (it should be!). Translations aren’t difficult to find, however, pronunciation and transliteration (especially in the same place) are very rare to come by. It’s difficult to search a word/phrase if you don’t speak Lao, but in particular, if you don’t know the alphabet. If you are illiterate in Lao, it’s much easier to see the words written in the Latin alphabet. It would make it much easier understand the word being pronounced.

What’s going on????

Great for entertaining too

I can’t thank you enough .. very useful app

Glitchy when trying to create a profile.

App works great. Great tool for learning languages. Definitely recommend.

The app now gives me a screen that informs me that I must create an account to add pronunciations. I want it use it to find out how to pronounce words however. This is very disappointing because I’ve found it so useful in the past.

This app would be a lot more useful if you could compare pronunciations automatically, perhaps with voice recognition. That said, it’s helped me in my classes already, so thank you!

This app has native speakers pronouncing words in their own language. Pronunciations are vetted by app users. Users can offer their own pronunciations. It’s a reliable system.

I have been using FORVO for probably 10 years if I remember correctly. It’s awesome and it keeps getting better.

Bought the app but it would not let me log in. Couldn’t use it at all.

Very useful software for getting exposure to various dialects and acents.

please try again later. no bug submission in app, so going to try this. message appears when trying to log in or create a new account. shame, it’s a great app/website
