Howjsay Pronunciation

I paid for access to this app but now it seems that they have moved to a yearly subscription. If you have customers who paid for the app when it was a single payment for access, they should be grandfathered into access to the app. I was a loyal customer but I am not going to keep paying you. Very bad business practice!

I’ve this app on my iPhone as well as on my Samsung and I must say I can’t function without it. Full marks to the developers. Love you guys and please do keep up the great work!!!

The pronunciations are correct and the words available fairly comprehensive, but the audio quality is very poor. It's like they got a competent person to record the words, but used the cheapest, tinniest tape recorder from radio shack to record the words with. What a shame; if the audio quality were even half way decent this could be five stars.

Hey, rather than a app, it would be more functional and useful to have this as an extension or script that appears in the options menus for the bowers, and for the long press on selected text. It’s just silly to have open an app or website. When, I really should be able to highlight/select the word and either/both long press and have “pronounce” as an option, like “look up”, “search the web”, etc. And/or, the browser menu that contains “pronounce/howjsay” as an option, such as, print, look up

Growing up I didn’t learn to read by embracing phonics. For me, words themselves were intricate pictures with audible names I remembered by their overall appearance. I was 70 years old before I realized why I had no idea how others could pronounce words they had never heard spoken before or spell words they had never seen. This app has been a tremendous help to me in my ongoing process of learning to apply phonics to my speech and writing endeavors.
