### 5/5 — I like the new improvements! However there does seem to be some problems with the Korean phrases:

*2025-07-06, version 3.82*

Korean phrases are a bit switched up in the food place where you match people’s phrases and give them a food item. The audio is the correct answer. Not the text shown. 

The menu in the front seems to have the same problem. So far that is at the beginning of the first level. 

Anyways the new cutscenes are pretty fun! Keep up the great work!

### 2/5 — good but my game is bugged

*2025-05-14, version 3.82*

I love the game and feel like I am learning a lot of new words in Korean, but ever since I unlocked the fireman who fights alongside the alien I have not been able to battle the robots. When I try to attack or heal with the fireman the whole screen freezes after the action and the only way to unfreeze it is to exit the battle. I have unlocked the second spaceship but have no way to clear it as I cannot complete any battles.  Hopefully this gets fixed bc up until this point it has been super enjoyable to play

### 5/5 — PLEASE ADD FILIPINO

*2025-02-25, version 3.82*

Hello! I absolutely love this game! It’s interactive and has that addictive part of gaming while learning a language I’m so grateful I have this resource. However, my fiancé speaks Filipino and it would be so helpful if it was added as a language in this app . Please hear my suggestion, thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Love it!!!!

*2024-12-24, version 3.82*

This app is great for those who want to learn languages in a fun way!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t use for Arabic

*2024-09-26, version 3.80*

The letters in Arabic in the bubbles are disconnected. This needs to be fixed before the game can be used to learn Arabic. I am an Arabic teacher and was hoping to be able to recommend the game to my students, but can’t do it unless this is fixed.

### 1/5 — No longer works on my iPad.

*2024-03-18, version 3.63*

I’m really disappointed, as before I would have given you 5 stars. I love this app as a teaching resource, and I also used it to help me increase my Spanish vocabulary, however, since the update when the image on the app changed from the Green alien, to the yellow one, it does not work at all… either the app goes to a black screen straight away, or you arrive at “tutorial” and then it crashes. Are you excluding older iPads? I was also disappointed when it disappeared from my Mac book air. Please let me know if you have some kind of solution for this, as I think it is a fantastic app (when it works)

### 5/5 — Love it but I have some suggestions

*2024-01-20, version 3.63*

I can’t stop playing it is one of the best launguage learning apps that is fun and engaging. I think it does have some faults like level of difficulty. I think you should increase difficulty by not giving letter suggestions when writing vocab so I can really focus instead of guessing. And second the fights are too easy it’s fun and all but I think it should include enemies who are actually hard to fight against and then add defense vocab tricks where you are timed in awnsering when blocking. And I also suggest allowing us to pick words we want to learn more of and study that from tests so I can study all vocab and not the same ones.

### 5/5 — Amazing way to build vocabulary

*2023-12-06, version 3.63*

This is an incredible app to build vocabulary. Would highly reccomend.

### 1/5 — Crashes on iPad

*2023-11-23, version 3.63*

I cannot actually enter a level (town, house, etc) on my iPad. After clicking on the level the screen goes black (music still plays), and then the app crashes.  I have used this program on a PC and really enjoy it… just wish it actually loaded on the iPad.

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2023-11-07, version 3.61*

I haven’t been able to even start the tutorial. Screen goes black and the app shuts down after a few seconds.
