searched the word “bury” in English, it said it wasn't there, asked me to add it, went to add it, told me it was already there. Epic fail.
What's happened here? The Forvo website still works, but despite having already paid for Forvo Premium, nothing in the app works anymore. I can't search, log in or request a password reset. In addition, they've released a new Forvo app that I have to pay for (again)?
When learning a language with no written vowels and the diacritics are usually left out...this app is a godsend. I dont know what I would do without it.
As a sommelier, this is enormously helpful to pronounce names and places of wines from languages I'm not well versed in.
very useful, easy to use and critical for those hard-to-get pronunciations
useful app for learning English vocabulary step by step with native people accent. it is also helpful for finding true pronunciation for your own language's words. I like it 👍
Search button is not working very often which is frustating
I cannot overstate how valuable this resource is for learning languages
Would be great if provided also phonetic transcription
I'd appreciate it if I could copy and share it to this app directly
The best way to learn how to pronounce words in a foreign language.
It helps me to improve my french pronunciation.
How can I add a phrase??? Whenever I write a phrase it goes to the part that says "words" and I want to add them to "phrases" part
Works as well as the site. Love it!

Hi there. There are several big issues for me using the Android application. 1- There is no possiblity providing pornunciation for the words that already got pronunced, whereas in PC it is possible for me. 2- There are some wrong words on the list of pronunciations or even the words in my native language (Persian) that typed in English. I cannot report or neglect those wrong entries from my pronunciation list in my native language. I should be able to ignore them on my list or report them as wrong. Only pronounced words would be reported. 3- Keyboard should be editable, especially for the same words that spoken in more than one language. For Example for word "ظفر" in Persian, Arabic, and Urdu, we need three Keywords entry for each language. 4- In both PC browsers and Android Browsers, I am not able to use microphone for pronunciation in "html mode". My laptop Computer has a very bothering whirring sound, so I have to use my cellphone for pronunciations. 5- The app inform you, when you receive a new vote for a pronunciation but will not tell you wether it is a negative or positive vote. Thank you for your great program
Trying to add a word for pronunciation. Sadly, I don't know what language it is. So I'm not allowed to add the word. God forbid that Forvo do anything to help me find out what language it is from. No. Just delete the word. That's all. Forvo has finally become completely useless. Uninstalled.
