The pictures are very nice & colorful, however, it would be more helpful if the pictures matched the word! Why wouldn’t these match? Also, instead of having to tap on an arrow to flip to the next word, you should be able to swipe right & left on the screen. This alone makes the app feel outdated. Most ppl need to hear the word in order to learn a language correctly so having a button to tap on would be great to hear a person pronounce the word or phrase. Hopefully you can update the app soon!

This is enjoyable and somewhat educational . . . To a point. Some of the definitions are down-right wrong. For instance, it says kamaʻāina means Native Hawaiian, but it actually means a resident of Hawaiʻi, regardless of ethnicity, and translates to "child of the land." Anyone from Hawaiʻi would understand the vast difference. The program often uses apostrophes in place of the ʻokina (they are not the same thing), and capitalizes the letter after the ʻokina, which is usually wrong unless it's the first word of a sentence. And there are no kahakōs in the words. This feels crowd-sourced in the worst way, with no one checking for accuracy.

Just downloaded the app and there are lovely pictures behind each word or phrase. However, I’d like to be able to search for words…enter the English and the Hawaiian word is accessed, and vice-versa. Also, it would be helpful to have the words pronounced or the proper pronunciation written out as in a regular dictionary.

I spend a great deal of time on the Big Island each year and was interested in learning more about the Hawaiian language. In order to do so, I need to be able to look up a word and hear it’s proper pronunciation. Very disappointing!I will say the photos are beautiful. That is the only value I have found with this app thus far.Add a search option, translation feature, dictionary, and an audio of each word and this will be a 5 Star app. Until then, 1 star, because 0 is not an option. Keep trying!
