User Reviews

I really wanted to love this app. I love the concept, I love the focus on speaking, I love the ability to focus in certain areas. All of that was great. Design seems very strong. A couple things that need to be improved: 1. No correction on what you are saying. I had the same phrase over and over… 75% right. No correction though. Nothing to point out what wasn’t right. 2. After a couple of listens to a phrase the speaker stops working and you can’t hear the phrases. I tried everything, nothing works. Add AirPods and the system can’t hear your pronunciation. Maybe this is all my phone, maybe. 3. The UI is good but confusing. Not easy (at least for me to navigate). Again, I wanted to love this app. It has amazing potential. Just needs some work.
