Tipu Te Reo Māori 4+

Hi I’ve really enjoyed this app but it freezes on level 5 which is very disappointing especially since there’s a review on here from two years ago that says the same thing.... any chance the developers will be fixing it anytime soon?

I love this app. It’s perfectly structured to learn Maori, however the keyboard really needs to be improved a bit. When typing you will often miss keys without realising and have to backspace or fiddle around to get cursor in correct place to fix mistakes, macrons and spaces.

This could be fixed by having the keyboard react in the same way the average phone keyboard does, where you can see the letter pop up above your finger as you press it, or have the space bar turn grey while pressing it, even audible clacking sounds as you type so you know you pressed the key.

So many times you think you pressed the macron key but didn’t and have to go back and fix everything.

Perhaps when you press the macron key, the keyboard should change colour or something so you can clearly see it’s on (or even just the letters that have macrons). Not to mention the subtle lag it takes to switch to macrons when you press the button.

Another alternative could be holding down a key to bring up the macron version of it.

Either way I would 5 star this app if not for the keyboard. Perfect app for learning Maori, but the keyboard is annoying. Would definitely 5 star if the keyboard was fixed.

Loved this app. Really helped me improve my te reo but now it doesn’t work at all, please update!
