### 3/5 — Great for some things

*2024-06-30*

The app has the option to distinguish between American and British English however I can see no changes when I toggle between settings. This app is great for learning British English pronunciations but does not as strongly support learning American pronunciations.

### 4/5 — British Only

*2024-04-02, version 3.9*

Good app but for British only. Didn’t find any vocalic r explanations.

### 4/5 — Excelente

*2024-03-01*

One of the best way to practice and improve my vocabulary and pronunciation 
I use everyday

### 4/5 — 000

*2023-12-22*

This app could help me. “Would” and “Wood” should be pronounced the same because they are homophones but when I try to pronounce “wood” it said “would” instead of.

### 2/5 — Suggestions

*2023-12-16*

I love the idea and set up of this app.
Please fix the American and British accent toggle option. There is no American accent for the basic phonemes. Also, words with r-controlled vowels should not be used as examples for long vowels. They have a completely different phonemes. Once I saw this, I did not continue to check the rest of the phonemes. I wish I was able to use this app but I am unable to because these inaccuracies will hinder my work.
