Forvo Pronunciation App Reviews

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Grriego antiguo

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.

It needs to be improved

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

Glitchy when trying to create a profile.

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

Great for entertaining too

I downloaded the app because I’m learning Hebrew, but can see that it doesn’t go beyond pronunciation. Still, it’s a good resource as one may be able to listen to several different pronunciations based on where the originator of the recording is from.

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.

This app is a tremendously helpful tool for anyone learning a second language or to just help with foreign words that are difficult to pronounce. The recordings are clear and these are REAL voices--not those computer generated pronunciations. There are often a few different voices for more popular words. Overall, very, very well done.

The app has a new redesign and works really well! Intuitive search features and snappy response!

The update is good, but is too slow Maybe need strong servers

And I really like this app. I can hear words spoken and add words in my own native language.

I am delighted with this app!! My vocabulary exceeds my ability to pronounce often....so this app is my helper when that happens! Wouldn't want to be without it!

It’s really a useful app especially for the linguists worldwide

Love the new design. Supports landscape mode. Thank you!

It was a nice app but now it doesn’t work at all. Can’t even email app support about it on their site

Wonderful to see this great site made available for the ipad/iphone. For those of us with Keyboards attached to our iPads, please let the interface rotate into Landscape mode. Currently we have to tilt our heads sideways to read the screen. Thanks!

Extremely useful. I have always wanted an app like this to help me learn the correct pronunciations

I’m studying OBOD bardic course work, and come across some words I need to hear and understand it’s pronunciation this app has come in very handy for those words which I to translate into English.

I speak Silesian German, a small dialect of German. And upon seeing that it wasn't on the site, I emailed them and they promptly added it! Now I can add pronunciations for these words really easily!

This is a really helpful app for me. There is a feature to play audios for all favourite words. So I can listen to all words. I hope I can make a favourite list of 1000 words. I use the app daily. Thank you so much for making such a great app :)

Very useful. I use it everyday... But some words are played without any sound. Except that , it's very helpful It worth the price or even more I am learning french

Nice app but the interface seems older

Pague por esta aplicación y me estafaron. No funciona. Trato de entrar en ella, pide mis datos, y luego no se puede ingresar. Sencillamente no funciona.

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 desk

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 th

Unable to log on half the time. Word search spins and spins. Unsolvable error messages.

If you try to favorite words the app will not save more than 99 words .. !! That means if you would like to study and review something you study before you have to search about it again !!

And it’s been this way for over a month now. Shame, this is a great service and the app used to work fine. Don’t get it, it simply doesn’t work on iPhones and they apparently don’t bother fixing their app when it has a fatal bug.

I payed $3 for this app, yet all features are locked because one needs to have an account. Waste of money, I could have just used google

Is there a way that I can just search words in English instead of translating from another language?

The interface used on the website is much more intuitive. And easier to use. What if I don’t know what language a word is in? I just want it pronounced in the native/original language.

It would help ifI could actually USE the app... it won’t let me sign in. Heck of a thing to pay for an app and then keep getting login failures
