Tipu Te Reo Māori for Android
Awesome app, addictive with the increasing pathway and wanting to get full stars. Great repetition for learning. Possible additions to aid user, vibrate/tone response for keyboard use so can feel that the keys are pressed and volume for pronunciation.
I enjoy the concept behind this. And I am learning. My only issue is that if I minimize it and go back to it the screen is very dark and won't get back to the lit screen. Ao I have to close the app and restart. And it becomes tedious when I have a message answer it go back to app then darkness and a faint image of the app restart and get a phone call go back to app and darkness. But the learning aspect of it is well thought out and this is beneficial for those teaching students.
The app has great explanations of how to use verbs, adjectives and plurals in simple sentances. You progress quite quickly but with plenty of revision to help retain the knowledge. Having to type answers teaches the use of macrons and proper spelling. Can be a bit slow sometimes but overall awesome!!
The app crashes whenever I try to open the first lesson (nouns). It seems others have not had this problem so maybe it's just my phone? But it manages other apps fine. .. What a pity
More of a revision tool than a teaching tool. App gives an English word and asks what the Maori word is, which is a bit difficult if you are learning Maori for the first time. There's also no sound so you have no idea how to say the word.
I upgraded and the lesson path disappeared. I enjoyed it before, but think it would be very beneficial to also have pronunciation. EDIT: I restarted a couple times and they are back.
Enjoying the app. Would be good to go straight to lesson I am up to rather than having to slowly scroll up every time. Can you add in some extra noun tests to increase vocab a bit quicker
Absolutely remarkable! Perfect for those wanting to learn for the first time or for anyone who wants to upskill their Te Reo Maori or to refresh your memory. Love this app. Thank you so much guys!
Loved it up until the end of the nouns section. Now it won't load and keeps flashing up an error message. Is it a Samsung thing?
Such a straight forward and helpful way to learn. The best thing is that it picks up on mistakes you are making and automatically adjusts itself to repeat those to you until you get it
Why is there no sound. One can't learn proper pronunciation by reading alone
Changing my review. Thanks for fixing. Can't wait for more lessons. Would pay heaps :)
It would be awesome if your modified keyboard could be released as a separate app/ plug in to be used as the default keyboard for phones
But why is there no sound!?! Would be perfect with sound.
Hoha i cant even select the first step n move on..
Kua mau he kupu i taku rae.
Needs to be able to run chronologically through lessons even when completed
Tino pai. Awesome for the future of te reo maori
Tino pai.
Koretake
Very good and easy to use for a beginner. The only problem is the app keeps on going dark so I cannot use it. As well as this it is not allowing me to move on to another level because it is telling me a correctly spelt (with correct macrons) word has incorrect macrons. Once glitches are fixed I would give this 5 stars
Don't quite know how to navigate app, it freezes, I have to scroll right around my phone screen to find where I'm suppose to be and when I tap on stuff it doesn't work.
I was excited to start learning more te reo but I couldnt even get to the first level as it froze on me, hope you try to fix this and ill definatley be back
Not all elements load on screen, unusable.
Telling me i was wrong when i was right
I was hoping this app would be able to assist my tamaiti learn te reo. Unfortunately this is not quite for the one who does not know Te Reo as stated. This is more for those at a beginners level basic knowledge of Te Reo and upwards. Maybe a quick Maori and English starters before answering the questions. Pupuri Haere! Kia ora!
Great app for practice & learning kupu, have recommended it to my fellow tauira. But after reaching lvl 5 the map is stuck & won't let me move it to reach higher levels. No troubleshooting available?
I thoroughly enjoy this app as someone with a slightly better than novice grip on Te reo. Some interactive sound might be cool to keep the interest. And although I know the sentences are made up randomly and some are nonsensical I had 2 sentences about bad white people in one lesson. For some non Maori this may not be received very well so you may want to look at how that could be rectified. Other than that, lots of fun and looking forward to continuing with furthering my akonga te reo Maori. Nga mihi
Map is frozen on level 5, little help please. Quite buggy in general, does not reflect well on your company
Not a user friendly novice app unfortunately. I hope Dualingo do a Maori language app it is really well done and children like using it as well
Works great, though seems like it could use some smoothing out in the programming. A great project!
Great App, however its annoying when you type an answer then it says 'Arohamai' try again, however the answer is the same as what you just tried to enter in the first place.
Won't work keeps freezing don't know y help please
Great learning for Te reo for myself and tamariki, a little buggy at times though- freezing at levels (before entering level)
App just loads after downloading and wont open game map.
Ka pai but half pie
Wanted to like it, but without sound, it's useless.
Good as.
I dont even get to play cause it keeps freezing when I press on nouns so unistalled till its fixed

Had to reset my phone to get this app working again but had to start from scratch :-(. If only progress could be backed up and restored when resetting your phone. Having said that its still the Best app for learning Maori. However some improvements needed. Offline game play will be great. And sound chart will be better. There's an app called hello Chinese with a really nice UI maybe tepu can rebuild this app with similar features.
