  • No Audio

    I can't get past the listening section of lesson 1 because the audio does not work on the app (works on everything else on my phone)- and, since you can't skip lessons I can't move past to see if the audio is broke on other subjects as well.. Plus everytime I do a reset to try and get the audio, I have to repeat the first two lessons just to get to the audio and find it still not working. So frustrating, no fun, can't do anything but the same 2 lessons that take 10 minutes first learning, can't go forward on anything because no audio.

    I’m really excited about the app! I am unfortunately having an issue with the audio. The audio is not working at all .... I also wish I could navigate backwards through the lessons as well. I tried skipping ahead to see if the sound would work in the next part and now I missed that entire part of the lesson.

  • Good app

    I loved this app. It was great to learn with, but after I had not used it for a while the audio portion of the learning would not play. After resetting everything and even deleting and downloading app again, it still did not play the audio. So now I’m going to have to look at other apps

  • I can’t hear the sound therefore can’t advance.

    Re-installed app but on just the third module, I click and click but nothing is produced. Maybe it’s a me thing and if so I’ll change my rating. Good beginner app. But something wrong with sound so helpless

  • Good idea, but give users more freedom to choose what to learn

    I like the concept. Great way to build vocab if you're starting from zero. I have 3 major problems with this app. 1. You can't get to the next level until you go through ALL the exercises. If I'm working on this in public with no headphones, I'm stuck until I can get someplace quiet to listen -- I can't choose to skip the listening section. 2. Related to #1: I did a factory reset on my phone, and now if I want to use this app, I'm going to have to start again from zero because it didn't save my place. 3. The exercise where you drag the letters into the right order can get annoying -- it won't let you "backspace" on just 1 letter, it resets the whole thing. It's a lot of work and causes physical pain if you have carpal tunnel. And again, the way the app is set up, you can't just elect to skip this exercise. If you're not a total beginner, but want to brush up on vocab in a particular area, this app is *not* for you. They won't let you just choose a vocab set you need to work on --You have to do it all. Simple fix: If they would just unlock the levels so people could choose what they want to learn, I would give this app 5 stars.

  • Audio missing

    I would easily give 5 stars to this app, BUT the sound is missing and so it is impossible to move up since the listening section does not work. Please fix this ASAP! ThanksI

    I am only able to get to the “Seasons 1” of the categories. Then the app freezes. Great concept zero delivery. If you can update the software it has a lot of potential.

  • Doesn’t work on iPhone.
