The main problem I have with Abena is that the interface is ugly in my opinion. It looks very amateurish and not well done – it would be nice to make it better and look more visually appealing. I like that it can speak Twi really well, I'm wondering if you'll add an English and Fante setting too. I like that at least there is a Twi AI app, and even if this doesn't seem complete, it is a very good idea. Good job, Ghana!

The twi and English still needs to be worked on. The pronunciations and others. It's a good app
