Have the developers actually listened to this🙄
This app is less than useless!! I’ve just bought the Portuguese workbook and I’m guessing Sue Tyson-Ward is not happy with this supporting app?? It’s incomprehensible to listen to??ThisApp’sUseless
Italian Conversation - Audio flash cards not working
Very disappointed that the Italian Conversation Book flash cards don’t work - all you get is a “BLIP” on all of them - both on my and my wife’s phone of different models. Tried to contact and tried to do whatever possible but is a merry go round!!! Didn’t even recognise the ISBN - maddening - try something else!!! One regally has to be a rocket scientist to get things to work universally.Show lessShivas Child
Learning French
I’ve really liked it so far! But just today, after the update, the audio for the flashcards says the word so fast you can’t make out anything. Please look into this issue, thanks!Feef the theft
Audio for Translations don't work
Very annoying. I am studying the Spanish Verb Tenses by Dorothy Richmond. When I try to play the Spanish version of a translation, there is no audio. The audio works for Sample Sentences and for Verb Conjugations but not for any translations. I have sent messages to the MH Language Lab but have not received any response.Show lessSpanishAudio
Could be better
Agree with poster about wading through multiple books to get to my book.
When it works, this app is great. Lots of problems with stability of the playback. “Play” button is finicky. It is small and must be pressed perfectly or app jumps elsewhere.
On the good side, when it’s stable, app is a great companion for the book which in itself is very good.Show lessMondoboy01
Good concept, works fine but bare-bones
I use this app for Complete Spanish Step-by-Step. I love the idea of having the flashcards premade to accompany the book, and the app works fine, but it is very bare-bones and could use more options.
In particular, I would like to randomize flash card order. So far I have had issues when the flash cards are in alphabetical order for the Spanish words, making it easy to guess the first letter when doing flashcards from English to Spanish. I have also had issues with days of the week, where the Spanish flash cards are listed in order Monday through Sunday, making them super easy to guess in English.Show lessgamer1757
Great books, bad app
All the multiple choice question answers in quizzes are blank.
The audio is read by a robot voice, not a person.S76276
Happy to have this, but needs “polish”
I’m grateful to have this app, to go along with several McGraw-Hill books I’ve purchased. However, even after a few days of use, there are certain glaring irritations then I’m hoping we’ll be addressed in the next update:
If somebody is studying language they shouldn’t have to run a gauntlet through six different languages and umpteen books, and X chapters every single freaking time they open up the app. The app needs a little bit of intelligence to remember where I was last time I used it and it should just take me there! That is my only real complaint at the moment. This is really irritating, and if someone at McGraw-Hill thinks that they are selling more books by shoving their books in peoples faces unnecessarily they are severely mistaken and maybe need a check up from the neck up?
Again, I am grateful for this app. Please work on making me experience little bit more smooth. If you make the experience and books great, most of the “advertising” will take care of itself. It probably isn’t one person in 1000 who is interested in learning six languages at the same time. So please don’t put German, French, etc., etc., etc., etc. in front of the one language I’m trying to get to.Show lessiffish
No app for this book
I purchased Spanish For The Rest of Us and they highlight the heck out of using the app, but when you go to McGraw Hill’s app, this book isn’t included!Jeff.57
Simple and effective
I’m using the German cards. Too many of these language apps have so many bells and whistles. I just want the flash cards and some easy review. I’ll do the rest. This app does just that. It’s simple. It’s barebones. And it’s what you need. This is my kind of app. I don’t need something tracking progress and all that other noise. Just the information please, and they accomplish that here. I’ve seen complaints of errors but I can’t say I’ve seen that yet for the German stuff.Show lessOglopfoosbottom
