I love this app. It's very useful for English teachers and learners alike. However, for a non-native English speaker, with little to no exposure to phonetic symbols at a proper school, like myself, the IPA characters are quite intimidating. Therefore, I would like to suggest that if you could kindly add a non-phoneme character set like the one used in WordWeb Dictionary, it'd be so much more helpful. Thank you. Please keep up the good work. Also, I don't mind the Ads. I can live with that.

So much cool, but I think there's some mistakes that occurred in the app. For example: It's missing the glottal stop sound /ʔ/, as in the word "kitten - kiʔn/", the flap sound /ɾ/, as in the word "little - lɪɾəl" and the R-Colored vowels /ɝ/ and /ɚ/, as in the words "after - æftɚ" and "certain - cɝʔn". It's missinɡ also the /ɫ/ and /d͡ʒ, t͡ʃ/. Thx!

Great help, but the switching between American and British pronunciation taking so many button(too many!) presses (instead of offering everything all together) is big, fat PAIN IN THE ASS!! Also, the app's title made me and another collegue think its name was "TOphonetics" initially.
