Helps for grade 4 Zulu

It helps me with my Zulu for school

Needs a lot of work

Itโ€™s a beautiful app but itโ€™s not accurate and doesnโ€™t have sound. I would love to use it but the fruit section is completely incorrect. One of the questions asks you to identify bread and it only shows fruit choices.

Good

Great

Nice

Very useful, and you dont need to know to much English to understand. Very sweet animations of animals. There are a lot of ads, however i understand this is because the developers need money. Thank you guys! Resources for Wolof are very hard to find, which is aggravating considering that 8 million people speak it.

Another note is that the โ€˜booooโ€™ noise should be adjustable, it is effective but aggressive and alarming haha (i find it funny, but Iโ€™ve heard that can upset those with sensory issues and rejection sensitivity)

Paid for the full version but didnโ€™t get it

The app is very cute, so I decided to buy the full version. The purchase went through and I was charged but the screen keeps saying loading product and it has been for hours. Stick with the free version. Donโ€™t waste your money on the full version, it will only take your money.
