Latest reviews of Wolof Words Free app for iPhone and iPad

Search word need to be work
Why the search word dont work? Cuz I want to show it some of my friends here to know something about my language. Please get it fix

This app has got potentials if properly executed. It needs pronunciation so that a new beginner can read through. The search a word does not work. The wolf alphabet needs to be included and more words added.
Not very helpful
While this app is very well intentioned, it has ***a lot*** of flaws. First is a lack of pronunciation key: How are the the different letters, and by extension, the words pronounced? My knowledge of Wolof is practically non-existent, yet I know enough to know that the letter "x", for example, is pronounced like the letter "j" in Spanish as spoken in Spain, such as in the words "jota" and "maja",or the letters "ch" in German, such as in the word "Bach" and "lachen". But . . . How is the letter "c" pronounced as opposed to the letter "k", for example? This is not explained. Furthermore, the range of words presented in the vocabulary lists are extremely limited (i.e., to 10-12 wildly assorted words): In the category Adjectives, for example, the only words used to describe colors are "white" and "blue"; under the category Nouns, you find words you wouldnt ordinarily use in a conversation in a market place or restaurant (like the word for "world") -- the highly functional and therefore useful word for "man" isnt even given. A recording of a native speaker saying to words >in Wolof< would be fantastic; a greater variety of words (including contrastive adjectives, such as "hot" and "cold", "good" and "bad" would be equally fantastic. Maybe in the upgrade . . . ? App deleted.
Needs pronunciation
Its wonderful that theres an app so I can learn Wolof but it sorta defeats the purpose if I dont know how to pronounce it correctly.
Few words, little use
Too bad it has no functionality. There is a version for 2.99$, but its hard to tell how much better it is, so I am not buying.
