Definitely the best phonetics app, it works for every language pronunciation. Though it'd be great to get the IPA keyboard for free or with some discounts, but it's okay. The only thing which could be necessary to check is that there are sounds (some clicks for instance) are doesn't have audio recording; after that, it works greatly.

The interface could be more polished, I'd like to see the main chart of IPA has be shown then by selection of a language the phonemes been highlighted.

THE BEST phonetic app I've ever seen! The amount of available languages is just incomparable, there is no substitute (ok, for English there's another app, but it supports only English) And now, my most important message to the author, I hope you're going to add the weak forms for English one day. That's the only thing I miss in the app!

Could be a good app if it worked. Unfortunately, it won't show me example words for each of the phonemes, and there's just a blank space where the drop-down menu is. There's also a play and a repeat button that don't seem to do anything when pressed. I'm almost certain that this is simply a bug, but I'm a bit bummed that I paid for this.

Cant use the keyboard without paying. That's quite literally all I want in an app. Unfortunately Google play doesn't have an app for this so I can't make my conlang.

It's great, but it lists Hausa in the description for African languages, but it's not available to set or pin. This seems like false advertising.
