Really been enjoying the app; it’s been great to quickly learn the basics of hieroglyphs. I’ve used it for about 3 hours so far and feel like I can already make out quite a bit. Highly recommend to anyone with an interest.A few suggestions to make it even better:-sometimes in the multiple choice questions, two of three answer options will be the same, but only one of them will be correct, which leads to a 50/50 chance of actually getting it right.-rarely, after giving an answer, the exact same question repeats. Not a big deal, but the screen doesn’t change or flash at all, and so without a break of any kind, it can be a bit confusing because it seems like the app just didn’t register your answer for the question.-in learning mode, when you tap to reveal the answer, I wish it would stay on the screen until you tap again. Currently it automatically moves to the next card after maybe 2 seconds, which means you can’t really study the answer.-on the Logograms, I wish it would also show the pronunciation-for Pharoahs, it would be cool if it also showed the Cartouche for each (or maybe just for the correct one after selecting). And maybe even the years of reign after answering?But all in all, totally worth the few dollars for the app and a great resource.

A fun app to test one’s knowledge, made by a very responsive developer that is continually adding more subject decks. Highly recommend.
