Everyone is right when they tell you that the autoplay function is jammed. You cannot learn without it. And they won’t fix it and haven’t for years. Don’t buy this.

This app use to be really good but it’s just not the same. It doesn’t move through auto - play & there are too many different versions of this app. That’s it’s confusing please do better.

You can really get these info on free pdfs online… nothing special about the app. Some of the mnemonics are also weird. I wish you could get a refund but you know… Apple
