### 1/5 — No audio for Spanish on iPhone 8

*2025-08-25*

The app downloaded and installed ok, but the audio files download failed. I tried 3 times, installing the app, removing and then reinstalling. No go. It always says “wait for the audio to download …“ and nothing. No problem on my husband phone- Samsung a52-5G with android 14.

### 2/5 — Problem

*2024-07-04*

I have the same problem as a lot of people , after scanning the book by barcode, it is not showing in the library , I don’t know why … please, fix that !!! ))

### 2/5 — At least this one works

*2024-02-23, version 1.0.4*

Bought complete language pack but this is the only app that actually works. The 15 minute app just says connect to internet despite being connected to the internet. Also no bar code on the book so have to use the barcode on the main box so why doesn’t it recognise whole product and download all audio files?

### 1/5 — DK Come On, Please Do Better!

*2023-07-31*

Books Never Stay Downloaded in Library

I read a review from 4 years ago and it appears there is still the same issue. Whenever you download a book, it takes a few minutes to download. After it is complete, the book is not in the library. After exiting the app, you can still access the book you were last in, but if you download another one of your books in another language, the previous one will have to be redownloaded. It would be an easy fix. I’ve always thought highly of DK, so it’s a bit surprising they won’t update their apps like they do their books.

### 3/5 — Fine, but could do with a ‘test yourself’ facility

*2023-02-25, version 1.0.4*

Works fine. You open the app, scan the barcode on the back of your physical book, and the app downloads all the phrases from the book in the same order and format. It’s quick, readable, and the audio quality is good. One missed opportunity, that would be easy for the Developers to add, would be a way to test one’s knowledge of the vocabulary, for example by blanking out random words. Maybe in the next version, please?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-01-22*

Non of the audios will down load. Yes I realise there are some pages that don’t have audio but non of them will down load

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-01-15, version 1.0.4*

This was ok at first then it jammed

Unloaded it then tried to up load again, and all I see was App Still loading after 2 hours.

Not very reliable

### 4/5 — Very good

*2022-05-12, version 1.0.4*

Used to use and understand has pictures to break it down so it is easy for everyone

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2021-10-25, version 1.0.4*

Excelente

### 5/5 — Just downloaded and works as advertised

*2021-04-08*

I downloaded the app onto my iPhone 12 Pro. The moment it opened, it asked for access to the camera. Once I accepted, I took a picture of the barcode of a phrase book and within a minute, I was scrolling through 150 pages of phrases. The audio works just fine.

Hope it continues to work as it is now!
