Hopefully I can get my money back. ### 1/5 — It’s out of business !!!! *2024-01-16, version 1.1.11* Terrible it will still take your money. Apple should remove app ### 2/5 — Languages disappeared *2023-02-12, version 1.1.11* I can’t get anything to come up on the screen. A shame because I really enjoyed this app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all under iOS 16.2 *2023-02-07, version 1.1.11* The title says it. ### 1/5 — Well, it was working *2022-11-22, version 1.1.11* Originally I would’ve given this a much higher rating. However, after about a month of use it just stopped and would no longer work! It got to a point where I couldn’t even open it. So I deleted the app and re-downloaded it. It still doesn’t work and it doesn’t remember any of my purchases! I have Portuguese in Spanish previously purchased with it, but nothing works now. It continuously says that I do not have a gateway. Sad because it was actually very helpful and had a very good review set up! If the apps is working it’s helpful easy to navigate and works well, but now it’s absolutely useless and I would never recommend it. If they can fix this gateway problem then it’s worth your time. ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2022-05-13, version 1.1.11* I don’t know why the reviews are so negative; I LOVE this app!! I got the computer version years and years ago and was sad to lose it when I moved all of my data to a new computer. I was so happy to find it again on the App Store! It’s simple, yet very effective. I’m using it for the Swahili course, so I can’t speak about the other courses or if they’re better or worse. As far as the Swahili one goes, it looks like they’ve added more phrases since I last used this program on my computer, which is cool. It’s also so much more affordable than many other subscription-based language leaning apps. I love that you can just pay for what you want without having to pay for it forever. I like the simplicity and ease of use, too. Keep it up!!! ### 2/5 — Silent Review *2021-01-27, version 1.1.9* Have found BYKI to be the most useful program for learning languages - the computer based version has allowed me to operate in a few with relative ease. The App not so much. Yes, this is another sound issue related review. I followed the advice of reviewer MB4658 and the help/settings steps to no avail; the app sounds would not not play. However, being able to access the flash cards from my phone for my own personal review time between computer based sessions was nice. Not especially helpful, but nice. The lay out of the app is intuitive and reflects a very clear presentation. The sound issue is the only negative. My hope is that the app will be updates to reflect the ease of use for which BYKI is known. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy it *2020-10-15, version 1.1.8* Does not work with latest iOS update and now I can’t get refund on my in app purchase of flash cards. ### 1/5 — Very Disappointed *2020-03-15, version 1.1.8* To learn a language, you need to hear the pronunciation but this app has no sound. It is worthless. I wasted my money and would love a refund. ## Frequently asked questions about Byki Mobile ### How does Byki Mobile teach new languages?
