Love, love, love this app!
It's getting very frustrating to use. I'm studying and needing to learn a lot of words and phrases. But it doesn't even comprehend some simple things. I could find kupu and hou but as soon as I had them together it said it had no information. I feel frustrated as I thought paying for the app would give me more info and support, I feel I should have just stuck to asking Google instead. Also I would like to be able to translate from English to māori but I can't seem to do that either.
I thought this looked good at first but find it gives a confusing list of irrelevant definitions. It assumes the word is in Maori regardless of which language you select. Sadly uninstalling it.
Tino pai te pūmanawa tautono nei
Great Kate pai
Great app. Use it often but suddenly I have lost the sound to hear the kupu pronounced. How can I restore that feature?
This app needs place name correct pronunciations eg Putaruru or Putāruru?? Not even found😞 Ngā mihi.
The dictionary is very nice. Too bad there are not many words, for example, anatomy, astronomy, biology, politics (for example, all ideologies with -ism) and sexuality terms.
This is an excellent dictionary, the best part for me as a more advanced beginner is the language used in the examples isn't too complex, so I can usually look at the English translation and work out what the Maori words mean.
Kia ora. Thanks for the work you do on this app. It is a great resource. I love the duck. Really missing being able to look up words offline. Please could you bring that feature back. Ngā mihi nui. Thank you. That is wonderful news.
