English Phonetic Symbols App Reviews

Needs more polishing

Found some misspellings in the example words; also some of the sound files seem to be missing for the female voice. Also the male voice file for the long u sound (close back unrounded vowel) is wrong!

Great App

Very Good in detail and picture.

Phonetic

I like it but really need more info + instruction.

Very Good

Nice App.

Surprise: its in Japanese!

Im sure the app is wonderful for people who know Japanese, but you really need to mention this little fact in the App Store description.

Terrible

Wow. Very low quality, no examples, varied and poor-quality audio bites.

Whats the point?

I thought I would be able to use the symbols in my writings, but all it does is make the sounds. I suppose if youre learning English by reading a dictionary this might help you, but I was disappointed. So glad I didnt pay for it.

Pointless

Im an actor/musician and I needed some quick reference for dialects. This app proved pointless. It doesnt even have all the phonetic symbols. Just ante up for a better and more comprehensive app.

Really helpful for vowels

The app gives you numerous word examples per sound - super helpful when learning the vowels.

Only landscape mode, useless for class projector

Like the title says.

Good but ...

... why do some of the vowels have an R added to them? Some example words are just wrong. Pony is does not include a short i (I). Several other words are wrong for just this one sound.
