Pros and cons of iSabi Tagalog app for iPhone and iPad

iSabi Tagalog app good for

I would give this 5 stars if, like the BYKI series, (not presently available for iPad), it gave you the chance to produce, mentally at least, the Tagalog equivalent of an English cue. The ability to hear your own voice is very useful. Mick Mallon
Great app. Missing star: some definitions are the same for different sounding words, so understanding when to best use one or the other isnt clear.

Some bad moments

Other than the sound only working with headphones ( it should warn you that no headphone no sound)
Not sure about the other review and the audio because Ive had no problem with the audio without headphones. It was a little weird figuring out where everything was in the ap, but once I did I really enjoyed it. If you want to learn basic Tagalog then this ap will help you ... Without a doubt!
Its a basic app that makes learning tagalog easy. Not sure how well it sticks, but I wanted an app that wouldnt overwhelm me and would make learning simple.
This is a good reference app for Tagalog beginners. It includes lists of useful words and phrases, numbers, and alphabet all with audio which is so helpful. The app is a bit buggy though: a few audio samples are missing or cut off, the speak option doesnt work, the a/m/f voice option doesnt work, and the search feature doesnt put the best matches at the top. Also the quiz feature is just 1 quiz that encompasses all of the vocabulary in the app. It would be nice if there were different quizzes focusing on specific areas (numbers only, greetings only..)
I live everything about is app however its lacking a lot of words. I have a Filipino girlfriend and we have been dating about 3 months (known her for a year). And I typed "mahal na mahal Kita Hun" and when she replied I couldnt figure out what she said lol.. Great app, works well, but please add more content.
I wanted an app that I could learn basic Tagalog and hear the words being spoken. This does that, but there are only a few things I would change. Some "flashcards" do not have the sound available on speaker. Other users state you can hear it on headphones - I will try it later. You cannot change the speakers voice A/M/F, but its not a deal breaker for me. It does not have a complete dictionary. Maybe there can be a 2nd version for that? Also: during the quizzes, you are asked which pronunciation is correct - but there is not a definition of the word included. For me, that would be nice to have. I have been married 5 years to my Filipino husband and it would be nice to also show sentence structure and more "phrases". Overall, this is super great and would recommend it regardless.
