Great but it does have bugs

Overall this is a great app. It has many different languages that go along with the complete book with the language you are learning. Or you can simply just learn by listening. It has many different options and you can buy things if you so choose.
The unfortunate thing is that it is a glitchy app. I have to hit pause twice, sometimes skipping 30 seconds twice, and it is extremely slow. Beyond the overall performance of the app, my reason for docking a star, I give it a four out of five stars.

Poor poor poor

The people involved in this app should do a teach yourself course on how to make an app, as they are clearly ignorant on how to do it.
Yellow text on yellow is not readable
No proper categories for genres
Very little accessibility option

OK. Needs improvement.

Good app to learn a language. Chapters should be listed as a default. Jump forward and back should be way less than 30 seconds as average chapter length is 1 or 2 minutes.

Complete Catalan

I really enjoyed the lesson but all of a sudden it disappeared from my iPhone. I would like it back on my iPhone as well as on my iPad.
Thank you.

Set up is brutal

What should be a simple sign in for a book is taking far too long. Inputted all information and click create account . Looks as if it doing. Something, then kicks me back to the set up new account page. Three times and Iโ€™m done. Guess Iโ€™m shafted in the audio aspect of this book.

Language Hacking Spanish by Benny Lewis

I bought the book a couple of years ago and started using the audio on my iPad and iPhone. It worked well but now I canโ€™t get it to work. The app now says I have to pay for it.

Needs updating

It would be nice to have the audio player stay on the Lock Screen when audio is paused so you could continue right from there. Also a longer pause between tracks.

Makes everything zoomed in and the keyboard larger when opened. Maybe itโ€™s outdated for newer phones.

Works fine

Iโ€™ve got the Complete Danish book and the dialogues work very well both on my MacBook and iPhone. I listen to the dialogues on my phone wherever I can, without the book and this helps me concentrate on the pronunciation. Havenโ€™t had any technical problems with the app.

Good book, poor app

I have the Complete Welsh course. The book is excellent but the supporting app with the audio is rubbish.

First I am forced to use my phone rather than my laptop.

Second the design is poor not intuitive and full of extraneous and intrusive content that delay accessing the material.

Third, whilst the book gives track numbers the audio on the phone does not display these so you have to count to find the one you need,

I expected far better from such a respected brand.

Complete Old English (Anglo-Saxon)

More than just a primer for beginning students. Mark Athertonโ€™s passion for his subject ensures not only linguistic competency but a full introduction to the history and culture of early England.
