✓ BRAVO on new version!Amazing updates… these make the app REALLY easy to use. So happy! Love the pop-up congregation (“inflection”) charts & that you can create specific lists in “favorites” for study purposes. All of these new features are really going to help me in my Lakota language learning journey. Thank you, LLC!.XanarooVersion: 4.0

✓ NLD V2 updateThis is a review for New Lakota Dictionary, particularly after the very recent V2 update. A previous update was attempted by the LLC in April of this year, and unfortunately issues with that revision caused some major headaches and may have shaded the dictionary reputation slightly. I’m happy to report that it appears whatever coding errors that took place have been rectified with V2. The dictionary now works absolutely fantastic. Many new words and phrases have been added, along with their recordings, so what is unique about thus dictionary, the ability to hear the words spoken by male and female voices remains a huge benefit. There is really no other Lakota dictionary to compare it to. I sincerely do not know how folks learn this beautiful language without this dictionary; it is indispensable. Some fixes: I don’t notice the delay when typing words beginning with “F” or “u” anymore- an issue that plagued V1. The favorites button DOES work, and a great pre-copy function in the search has been added. This allows you to copy a word from the search bar into another phone function- say, an email or a text. To me this is subtle encouragement. The dictionary is designed for you to USE the language - in texts, emails, and other written modalities, along with being spoken. Writing strengthens reading, reading strengthens speaking. The “review” function (small down arrow located on the right in the search bar) allows you to bring up words you have previously searched, something I personally lobbied for, as this function did not work on my phone in V1, although it did for most others. This function is awesome and I’m grateful for the fix. Another issue with the previous version was the inability to search for words that included a glottal stop (indicated by an apostrophe “ ‘ “ in the SLO. This has been fixed as well! There has to be something to complain about- the only thing that is seemingly bothersome is that there are still words appearing in the entries and full text example sentences that you cannot click on and look up. You can still type them in the search of course, but many words can be looked up straight from the entry. There are still many that can not. Also, idiomatic phrases are super important, but phrases that appear in a list cannot be clicked on to look up, except as individual words. It would be great in the next update to be able to click on the whole phrase to be taken to the entry. I use this dictionary day in and day out. As a serious Lakȟótiyapi student, I find it irreplaceable. It’s an amazing resource and I’m grateful for the work that went into its creation, from the fluent speakers who provided many of the example sentences, to Uŋčí Ella Deloria for her text corpus, that makes up many other example sentences, to Lekší Ben Black Bear, Leksí Kevin Locke, Haŋkáši Iris Eagle Chasing- all of whom (and others as well!) grace us with their voices in the app, and of course all those at the LLC that put the tech work in to make it happen- an incomparable undertaking. Looking forward to investigating the app even more! Michael Rossi Phoenix. Arizona.LakotaStudentVersion: 2.0

✓ Great resource!This is a great app for those that want a resource for the Lakota Language. It has so many entries, for how the words are used. In the latest update, it has a great chart for all the different conjugations of the verbs. This is very helpful in learning the diffeeent conjugations..Mount GlobeVersion: 4.0

✓ Super handyIt's great to have this mobile dictionary! Quickest and easiest way to look up new or confusing words. Lost a star because navigation is not great easy to lose your place and have to re search the word..Lakota language learnerVersion: 1.2

✓ Still supported?The app is great; I use it quite often. I notice though that it hasn’t been update for some time. Is this app no longer being supported? I know the LLC website it mentions going through the web browser and saving it to the home screen, which iOS isn’t letting me do (asked at an Apple Store and they said I couldn’t do this, so I assume it’s not just me)..RWhitacreVersion: 2.0

✓ Extraordinary resource on iPhone - Pronunciation doesn’t work for me on iPadAbsolutely love the revisions and new version of this. Wish pronunciation worked for me on ipad as well as it does on iPhone. As a newbie to this beautiful language, I look forward to learning with this tool in my tool belt..AZ EyeballsVersion: 2.0

✓ Good App For All Lakota Learning LevelsI have the book but the app is really fast and helpful with word meanings and conjugations. I am pleased to use the dictionary which was made with Lakota people. It is a really good thing to read and share. The dictionary can be searched with english or lakota words. it can be read in lakota if you are a fluent speaker. The dictionary will supplement other lakota learning materials you may have. Its really exciting to be able to read and pronounce new words quickly. u can also hear audio of each words pronunciation..Santa wowVersion: 4.0

✓ Excellent!This is a fantastic resource. The pronunciation recordings are invaluable and I can’t praise the format and navigation enough. Thank you for creating this! A language as beautiful as Lakota must be preserved for all our benefit..AlmostmarchVersion: 2.0
