## Review summary

Users largely value the Forvo Pronunciation app for its extensive pronunciation library and learning utility, with features like requesting missing pronunciations. However, stability and UX problems dominate feedback: frequent freezes/crashes, audio playback failures, login/white-screen issues, and intrusive ads. Some prefer the website for reliability. Content quality remains high, but app performance and onboarding UX need major improvements to satisfy paying users.

### Pros

- Extensive pronunciation library across multiple languages, making it a valuable language-learning resource.
- Content is useful and praised for learning pronunciations and reference.
- Ability to request missing pronunciations and contribute to the library, expanding coverage.
- Strong value for money for paid subscribers; high-quality content.

### Cons

- Frequent freezing/crashing and overall instability on iPhone/iOS, including during searches or when pasting text.
- Audio playback issues where sound clips won’t play or loading spins endlessly.
- Sign-in issues and white-screen/login problems (e.g., Apple sign-in stuck, blank screens).
- Ads overlay content and heavy advertising degrade the user experience.
- App opening/blank page issues and generally unintuitive UX that hinder usability.
