User Reviews

Many reviews condemn the app as unreliable: audio fails to load or play, downloads stall or crash, and scanning/ISBN entry often doesn’t work. A key recurring issue is that the app content isn’t updated to reflect the book’s latest editions, causing mismatches and missing material. A minority report positive experiences, noting the app can be a useful, free learning companion when functioning properly. Overall, reliability and edition synchronization are the main barriers.

Pros

When it works, the app is a helpful language-learning companion.
The app is a free companion to the book, offering audio features at no extra cost.
Some reviewers feel the app provides a learning experience that can be competitive with other apps (e.g., perceived value versus Duolingo) when functioning properly.

Cons

Audio download/playback issues are the most recurring problem (audio won’t work, won’t download, audio overlaps).
Content and exercises often lag behind or don’t match the book’s latest edition (new editions not reflected, missing or mismatched phrases).
QR/ISBN scanning and entry frequently fail (won’t scan, no way to enter ISBN, scanning issues).
App stability problems (crashes, “downloading” stalls, greyed-out screens, unable to open).
Missing or incomplete language content in some editions/languages (e.g., translations missing for Arabic, gaps in Japanese content).

Bought the book on Amazon, but there is nowhere on the app to key in the ISBN number to connect the audio. Waste of money…

I bought 15-Minute Mandarin Chinese today and was excited to get going with my first lesson. It soon became clear that my 2024 “new edition” is not aligned with the app. There are 6 exercises in the day 1 lesson, but only 5 on the app. And the words in exercise 2 are different. Please update the app to reflect the newest version of the book! Maybe have an option to select which version a person owns so people with the older version can still access the audio.
