mason jones, 2025-03-17The app worked very well the first semester, now it's more of a nuisance then an aid. More then half of the features are not available, doesn't read words correctly or in sequence consistently. Sad because it was making a big difference during book study and now I'm back struggling without it, which is worse than ever having it at all.
Imagine being locked in a dark room all your life and someone finally opens the door to let you out, and as you walk toward the light, the door slams shut like, "Juuuuuuust KIDDING!"
