However, persistent audio problems—missing sound, pronunciation features sometimes removed, and intermittent playback—are the most recurring complaints. Several reviews also report the app not launching or functioning reliably, and a few note that listening requires headphones. A common request is for more words and phrasing guidance. Overall, the app is valued by many long-time learners, but reliability and audio quality remain significant concerns.
