Forvo is the largest pronunciation guide in the world. All the words in the world pronounced by native speakers. Now with Forvo Pronunciation app, we bring to the iPhone the best possible experience to listen and ...
UPDATE It s been over a year so I gave it another try on my iPad Looks like they re getting closer to being useful but there was no way to favorite a word Perhaps it was hidden under the three dots at the right HOWEVER every time I tapped on the three dots IT CRASHED AND CLOSED So I had to pull out an old iPhone that I never use download an older version of the app to that and suddenly the three dots worked and I was able to favorite a word So since I don t want to use the older iPhone and since this app crashes on my iPad I m going to delete it again on my iPad and hope they keep working on it And I hope they ll eventually make it possible to allow me to save favorite pronunciations on my device It they keep working on this and make it useful I ll give it five stars But for now down to one star PREVIOUS REVIEW Perhaps my expectations were too high I can t really find any reason to use this The website is easier and better I ll probably end up deleting this unless they provide more functionality like letting me save my favorite pronunciations on my device so that I can re listen over and over without logging in Now THAT would be helpful as I try to learn a new language why would I use this Blue Pine
This works better on iPhone than iPad It needs landscape mode support Ok ChipJan
As an audiobook book narrator I have used Forvo as a great resource for years There is only one drawback in my mind to this app It is portrait alignment only For some reason the designers haven t added a landscape option if you turn your iPad to the side Great resource landscape please obi-vaughan
Being able to find actual people pronouncing words instead of computer generated voices is wonderful for learning correct pronunciation I am studying the Russian language and there are subtleties that computer just don t get yet This app is still buggy and in an hour of use crashed a few times But that is ok because it is easy to just start it up again and continue searching for pronunciations This app deserves high marks in spite of its flaws Bravo Extremely valuable BlaStar310
Keeps crashing and shutting down Very buggy Linkailyn
I ve found it useful in my quest to master Swedish Other apps have pronunciations buffet they re are machines and more very good The fact that these are locals pronouncing the words of their language is really useful Really useful Z/3
Used for a few words in Hebrew and coverage is good Would be better if it performed translation too Good coverage sttawm
Seems pretty good so far Thumbs up Brothamanben
crashes with insane regularity on iOS 10 3 Worth restoring my backup over this stay far away from this heap of digested foodstuff Bug ridden DJStifel
I really want to learn Irish but most of the free language sites do not have pronunciation This has already been very helpful in hearing how it is suppose to be said I think this will help Melime
I love Forvo and have been recommending the site for years As I get closer to graduation and move more into my career networking opportunities are everywhere and often they require a bit more finesse than my college campus This handy little app means I can double or even triple check that I m pronouncing the name of the wine correctly the business jargon and sometimes even a difficult last name It s much easier than pulling up the mobile browser especially for the tricky little words that you find yourself re listening to more than once Very helpful on the go TheLizzyIzzi
Forvo doesn t work anymore on my iPad Air It once was a fantastic app but now when I click on a word to hear it pronounced the app closes and I am taken to the iPad home screen I have removed and reloaded the app but the same thing continues to happen Forvo doesn t work anymore on IPad Lou in NC
The app isn t too bad but for the price you d expect to function at least as well as the site Here s what s broken Sometimes tapping on a word once you ve looked it up to see other pronunciations of it results in an error message option not available for this phrase This message seems to randomly come up for some words and phrases Here s some of what s missing Specific locations of speakers are not shown anywhere in the app from what I can tell This means that I can t see which dialect a word is being pronounced in The website has this functionality and I expect it here too especially for a paid app Otherwise it seems fine but 3 for a worse experience than their website is a dead end Good but not better than the site DannySwish
This app is beyond helpful for anyone learning to speak a new language an absolute must An absolute must use resource for language learners NYCJulieNYC
Purchased this app 2 days ago and cannot register or sign in Also tried using my google acct Says it encountered a problem and try again Even deleted and reinstalled Want my back Can t access Cruzandeb
It would be nice if it had landscape mode for the iPad Also I tried to add a word but each time the app continually crashed Very useful however Calstar234
Have used forvo on the web for years Great to now have the app Very valuable resource Great resource assumezero
Extremely useful for language learners The number of languages and the number of words available is truly remarkable Excellent tool gpottschicago
Very useful Forvo Totaljim
Unless you re a pro with phonetic alphabets this app is essential Pronunciation is crowdsourced from native speakers and curated by reviews of other native speakers Europe is filled with avid learners of other languages so poor pronunciations don t last out the day The app also identifies contributors by where they grew up so depending on the language if you re interested in regional differences you can often focus on contributors from whatever region you d like Great app intuitive to use and fairly priced Indispensable Laquedem
It s basic but it works by God I Heart Forvo whatwasisaying
Have adored the website for a while Now I m chuffed to have it on my phone in my pocket Pronunciations of names and proper nouns from all over the world you know words that don t appear in your native dictionary Incomparable essential brilliant fun I Love This App EYEBALL HATRED
A great confidence builder Love it dlclaytor
A true hit or miss as to when it actually works There is such a lag in searching for a word that I often find myself going to Google Translate instead Truly unreliable I actually paid for this Fix it people Unusable Punit
It used to be a great app but after the latest update it wont work on my iphone 6s Not working anymore heyxjerry
I can still use Forvo on my laptop but the phone app is no longer able to retrieve words since I updated iOS I have googled the problem but can t find any help Normally great app currently not working School observer
I used this app a lot but now when I press the arrow to hear the pronunciation it just hangs My iPad 2 I could understand but my iPhone 6S isn t that old Really miss using this app used to work DonewithMSN
Love the concept Can t get the app to work Not ready Machiasbound
Disappointment App doesnt work on iPhone well Live and learn The website on a laptop works better Forvo
So convenient to be able to put in a word in another language to hear it pronounced instantly Just What I Was Looking For
Other reviews are horrible for this app so I was reluctant to purchase Complaints seem to be centered around the need for an Internet connection and that is not super important for me so I took a chance It takes 3 seconds on 3G to download the audio samples for a pronunciation This is a very small time price to pay in order to save gigabytes of space on the device for audio files you would most likely never use Since the site gets updated by users all the time the app would also lag what is available online so for me this is great In the future I hope they add the ability to contribute pronunciations via the app Very useful application Great App Version of Website
Very handy mobile app use it almost daily in the course of my work in the wine business Well designed Fantastic
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 Not enough features
Learning Welsh would be impossible without Forvo Forvo
I like the multiple speakers Very cool
Great app M
The website is wonderful but the app does not allow one to access ones account or add pronunciations Its only use seems to be listening Not what Id expected Not worth the cost unfortunately Lacking functionality
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 Forgo
I love this app but I wish that there were definitions for the words Definition
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 Will not open keeps crashing
I was hoping this app would allow me to save a word list like the PC version It does nothing more then allow access to the Forvo sound files Disappointing
Please make it available for iPad as well Awesome app
To register for an account you have to leave the 299 app and visit a separate web page to access your personal account at all Would be helpful to have the definition listed also Has great potential Great app concept but majorly lacking
For a paid app I am disappointed that it is unable to consistently perform searches without hanging Too often it responds to clicking on a pronunciation by reporting that there is no internet connection when there clearly is I should have stuck with the web site on my computer Very Buggy
This APP is helpful in my tutoring an ESL student Quite useful
I sound SO smart Fab
I love this app I found there website by accident and it has been amazing When I found out that they had an app I was like YES Missing they are missing the definition of the word If they had it I would totally give it 5 stars ALMOST A FIVE
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 Endless Searching Loop
This app comes in handy from time to time Never had a problem with it Good app
But needs work The previous reviewer said it all But I needed some French pronounciations and found what I was looking for Thanks Lots of potential
Cuando comprĆ© esta aplicaciĆ³n creĆ que serĆa posible el hacer pronunciaciones pero me equivoquĆ© Llevan muchĆsimo tiempo diciendo que pronto tendrĆ”n esta opciĆ³n disponible y hasta el dĆa de hoy no he visto absolutamente nada En internet se puede buscar la pĆ”gina web escuchar y hacer pronunciaciones de forma gratuita Hasta ahora de nada me ha servido haber hecho esta compra Habiliten esa alternativa por favor Total decepciĆ³n
Ani maite asko dut oso ondo beharko Oso ederki
I got this in hopes of it being able to help me out on pronouncing the scientific names of plants So it may not be able to help me on that but Im sure itll help me out in other areas so itll get 3 stars from me Cant ding you too much for not living up to my expectationthat was kind if a high one Hope
If they make these changes then it will be the best language app 1 Saving vocabulary incorspondance with the language of origin 2 Including the difinition of the searched word 3 It could be just for specific langauges however when I search the word Ī“ĪæĻ
Ī»ĪµĪ¹Ī¬ I get the pronounciation for both Ī“ĪæĻ
Ī»ĪµĪ¹Ī¬ meaning work and Ī“ĪæĻ
Ī»ĪµĪÆĪ± meaning slavery I would like if they make the search results a bit more specific when you change the position of the accent Needs more improvment
So glad this exists Hoping it catches on and that more natives will add to the pronunciations to give more depth Great language learning tool Great
It is the best way to hear native speakers pronouncing the words and phrases Best for foreign language lerners
Great website but not a great app for it 1no sign option 2no record and submit words ability 3what is the point of the home screen This is stupid Make a search bar the home screen Not a smart design
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 Useful tool
I am delighted with this app My vocabulary exceeds my ability to pronounce oftenso this app is my helper when that happens Wouldnt want to be without it Fabulous
Very useful Love to use this application
This app does everything I need and any improvements would just be a cherry on top Thanks to Forvo for creating a useful app to help facilitate the spread of such a great idea Awesome
Pronunciations very helpful Look forward to new feature allowing request Would like pronunciations for all verb forms and tenses Forvo very helpful
I have not had this app for long but so far on the iPad it has been great Helpful for proper names tooI am using it for Italian So far so good
Its very useful and awesome app I like it Forvo
I worked in a highend 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 Life saver
Always works and very helpful when traveling overseas Cant recommend it enough Great app
Grateful I finally found help in mastering the nuances of French pronunciation Appreciate the multiple male and female speaker choices for most words Big help in French
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 Does NOT work
Indispensable Forvo
As a broadcast journalist I must know the exact pronunciation of names places and so on I found this website and tried many names and it worked perfectly well But I am still new to this app and hopefully will find this a perfect one for my work Thank you Great App
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 Mr
Forvo is a blessing Forvo
I cant understand why customers are upset with this app Many arent pleased with a few trivial things involving the app but it works practically as efficiently as the website If you want to test if this app is for you try the website on your desktop first This is a great application for mastering pronunciation in foreign languages Works Perfectly
Desktop version is great not ONE word I searched on the app had any sort of pronunciation I searched something simple like flu to see if it would work Nothing worked Waste of money and time Doesnt work stick to laptop
Great App Excellent for in class use Educator EDS
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 299 Really Misleading
I loved the Forvo website while I was taking French and I decided to buy this app based on that experience I was disappointed to find the app version is ungainly you type a word then wait for it to tell you it doesnt exist or to spit out a list of random similar words from other languages all with broken links Also the app crashes at startup at least twice sometimes three times but once its running it seems to be stable I wish the app had less steps involved between starting it up to listening to a speaker Its just too cumbersome to cost 299 As a concept 5 stars
