Pros and cons of American Accent Training app for iPhone and iPad
American Accent Training app good for
Amazing app, but could you guys please update it ? iOS 8 is here dont leave this awesome app at bay.
I have both an ipod and an iphone, and this app isnt supported on ipod but it works very well on iphone. I didnt have a problem installing it on the iphone. The accent and pronounciation information inside is easy to understand, I like it . I can use it even though Im sitting on the bus. If you are looking for something to help you get better in english I recommend you to get this.
Wow, Im so impressed with how everything flows and is easy to understand. Im helping a friend from Vietnam improve her accent also and I can already tell a difference. She may get an iPhone just for this app. Brilliant!
I got shocked I never knewI could improve it
This way . It helps talk fluid fast whitout
Stops that make people notecing your foreing accent .get it
I am an ESL teacher and I do a lot of accent and pronunciation teaching. I LOVE this program. These days nearly all my students have iPods or iPhones these days. With this app, they always have a teacher with them. This program has lots of practical exercises that really work to help them standardize their accent. Just as importantly, it has nothing theoretical that is only intended for teachers or will only confuse them. I really like the onscreen recorder where they try to match their voice to a native speaker model. When I should this aspect to my students, they were totally psyched by it. Ive used the book this was based on for a long time (American Accent Training by Ann Cook). I was stunned by how much audio is included in this program and how reasonable the price is. I just wish there were something like this for me to work on my Spanish accent : )
I really love this app and check it every day. I wish there were more softwares like this. It works well though I noticed that they mixed up few tracks here and there. I wish there were more rules on pronunciation and a separate list of tricky words to say. I feel like I still need a lot of issues to cover.
maybe an updated version has something new...
Some bad moments
このソフトは英語学習者には有名な書籍「American Accent Trainig」のアプリ版です。
私はipod touchユーザーですが、インストールしても、Recorderボタンが出てきません。
サポートサイトを見るとこのアプリはipod touchでは動かないとイメージ画面で注意書きされています。
app storeではそのような表記がありません。touchユーザーはお気を付けください。
Description of the application is false: there is no “Recorder” button. So you can only listen to the exercises, but you can’t practice them, which makes the app rather useless.
Worths no more than 99 cents. I am going to claim a full refund. U think 6 sentenses can improve ur accent???? No way. No help at all. I thouht there were various lessens to help u improve the accent.
I bought it and started to use it right away.i thought I just started the lessen but was done with all the contents I less than 3 minutes.
Now what? I cant believe thy charge u 10 bucks for this crap. I am writing this just because I wanted to save $$$ of ppl like me who r dying to improve their accents.
To the owner of the appp:
Either add more content or reduce the price please.
No recording possible with iPod touch!!!
This app should be free!
I would really like to give this app a 4 or 5 stars because I thought accent training in iPhone is a great idea. However, a lot of times when I tried to record, the recording function didnt do anything (when I pressed the button, it doesnt record) and occasionally crash the app. I use iPhone4 with iOS5. Please fix this issue.
the new update is worse!font is too small and recorder does not change
