Pros and cons of Blackfoot app for iPhone and iPad
Blackfoot app good for
Loved the pictures, play back and games. Just wish you could slow down the playback a bit and wish it had some church references. Such as church, God, creator, Jesus, etc.
Absolutely love the app, my children love it as well. The games are a great way to enhance learning. My 3 year old especially enjoys the songs. Look forward to added content.
Very awesome App, I highly recommend for our youth and young adults or even all ages to learn more about the Blackfoot language!!!
This app isnt just a list of random vocabulary words. There are categories for foods, drinks, land animals, birds and insects, plants, people/relatives, weather, emotions, phrases, and so much more! You learn by reading and hearing it which makes it perfect for adults or children who may not be readers. You can review your knowledge through fun games and tests for each category. I had no idea that Id be getting so much for $7. This is excellent for those who, like me, have no prior knowledge or experience with the language.
Some bad moments
