Tipu Te Reo Māori 4+

I would give this app 5 stars, because it is the best Te Rep resource I have found, but the keyboard drives me absolutely insane. The keyboard functionality has me missing button clicks, particularly the spacebar. Luckily this app redeems itself with great grammar lessons.

I love this app! Thank you to the creators; I’m trying to learn Te Reo from the U.S. and there are not that many resources available.
When I first started using Tipu I sometimes thought it was glitching as it seemed to repeat things a lot, but I soon realized that it’s just drilling the lessons, and it does this just the right amount to get them to really sink in. I’ve just completed all available lessons and I feel like I truly understand everything they’ve taught me. It moves at a really good speed, delivering enough new information to keep it interesting, without ever feeling overwhelming. My only complaint is that it doesn’t keep going forever! 😉 But, I will keep my eyes out for updates and look forward to new lessons soon.

It’s good as a language app in and of itself, I haven’t tried any other apps for Te Reo Māori but the interface is better than Duolingo. Despite not having all the stars and trophies that supposedly “gamify” learning, I found this app plenty addicting.

The only wish I could have is that the letters on the keyboard were a bit bigger! There’s room on the keys for them to be. Please have aroha on my old eyes!
