[Tlhingan-hol] qep'a'vaD lI''a' {boQwI'}?

[Elizabeth Lawrence]

Qov has a point about people being more likely to just ask someone in
conversation, but apps are more convenient than, for example, TKD, because
all the words are in the same place.  I certainly use apps for that purpose
when writing out a longer composition, and I am not a rank beginner.  I do
not have boqwI' because I have an iPhone, but I have used it on other
people's phones and significantly prefer it.  Please make it available on
iPhone.
