Recent reviews

Could be a good app if it worked. Unfortunately, it won't show me example words for each of the phonemes, and there's just a blank space where the drop down menu is. There's also a play and a repeat button that don't seem to do anything when pressed. I'm almost certain that this is simply a bug, but I'm a bit bummed that I paid for this.
