No Audio
This was a really good learning app. I purchased 2 languages and now I have no sound for either.
Thought it would be okay
I was recommended this app, I was reluctant at first but I decided to give the paid version a try only to lose all audio for app. Pretty much useless without the audio. Hopefully I can get my money back.
It’s out of business !!!!
Terrible it will still take your money. Apple should remove app
Languages disappeared
I can’t get anything to come up on the screen. A shame because I really enjoyed this app.
Doesn't work at all under iOS 16.2
The title says it.
Well, it was working
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.

Love this app.
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!!!

Silent Review
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.

Don’t buy it
Does not work with latest iOS update and now I can’t get refund on my in app purchase of flash cards.
Very Disappointed
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.

Great app.
Great app but limited options
I’ve used BYKI on the computer and you are able to download additional lists created by other students. Why not make this available on the app? Or...we should be able to add our own learning lists to review.
No sound
I’m using an iPhone and There was initially no sound. But thank you for the FAQ section fix of turning on the side rocker button (ringer) not sure why it has to be on while using it, but I can switch it on and off easy enough
No Sound
The app has no sound. I tried a couple of different languages (common and uncommon), and none had sound. Defeats the purpose of the app.
No sound
Saw this app working on a phone decided to download it on mine to find the sound doesn’t work
No sound
There is no sound for the language that I purchased. I tried the sample lesson for another language and there is no sound their either. I was about to purchase a second language but that would be a waste of money.
Worthy
Like most of flash cards, it depends on the learner.
WARNING! Does not work with latest iOS version
Normally a great app, it stopped working with the latest iOS version and there seems to be no rush from Transparent Language to fix the broken software for those of us who bought it.
Sound issues
It worked great in the beginning but the sound stopped working. I've read it's a common issue. Makes the app quite useless.
Buggy: no sound
Without working sound the app is pretty worthless. SO glad I haven't bought any content yet.
