User Reviews

The app offers strong language-learning content with pronunciation and broad language options, but is plagued by crashes, unreliable audio playback, sign-in issues, a clunky UI on larger devices, and gaps in language audio availability that severely limit usability.

Pros

Rich language-learning content with pronunciation audio and listening practice.
Wide variety of languages and listening-based learning options.
Helpful and engaging content when the app is functioning.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability; app often closes or stops responding.
Audio playback issues and inconsistent access to audio (in-app icon not working; some audio only via website or marked as 'coming soon').
Sign-in/access problems and difficulty restoring purchases.
Poor UI/UX and cross-platform compatibility; not updated for larger screens; navigation controls confusing.
Incomplete language audio library; not all languages are available.

Recent reviews

To my understanding, I should be able to click on the icon within the ebook to hear the audio but it does not work. I can only seem to listen to the audio by going to the audio playlist. It would be very convenient to be able to use tap on the audio icon in the lesson to listen.

This app is an iPad app that was made available for macos with no extra effort to actually support macos. You can't even use the arrow keys to turn pages! There's nothing in the menus other than stock commands. What little UI exists is a mystery. Clicking near the edges of pages goes forward and back, sure, but there are things in my book that look like buttons, and clicking them...pages forward and back. There's no way to pop directly from the guts of a book to my whole collection (supplemental audio for the book). Visual affordances are utterly lacking. Sometimes clicking on the page makes text appear or disappear on the page instead of paging forward or backward—I have no idea why! Book content that should really be shown together onscreen is broken across pages, so I have to go back and forth too much. Also, the default font is incredibly tiny, and opening the font settings and clicking the larger A changes the margins and line spacing, but the font remains the exact same size. That's...not helpful. Then I opened the Advanced submenu and suddenly the font got bigger. Yay? Some of the controls on that menu don't do what they promise, but at least I got the font size upped. Reading the book I bought is going to be a struggle, and I doubt I'll be buying any more for use in this app.

This is easily the least stable app on my phone and the worst e-reader I have encountered. It doesn’t stay open for more than a few minutes without crashing. It doesn’t save your progress where you left off on books, so every time you open the app it’s a race against time to page flip back to where you left off to make any meaningful progress before the app crashes and you have to do it all over again. The only thing saving this from being a 1-star review is that the actual content of the books is quite good.
