I have the paid version … but the transcripts are not loading …

Can’t login

I’ve listened to the podcast and was really happy to see an app, but my login options are limited to “login with Apple” or “login with Google”. I used neither to sign up, and there’s no third option to sign in with email. I’m forced to rate it, so I’m giving it 2 stars because the program is good, but if I can’t access it, it doesn’t really work well, does it? Once resolved, I’m sure I’ll update with a better rating.

Response from developer

First, THANK YOU for listening to Fluent Fiction, and for your feedback! Anyone can use "Sign in with Apple" for a quick and secure login experience. I will add an explanation in the next release. Please give it a try and let us know if it works. Don’t hesitate to email us at support@fluentfiction.org

Works like a charm!

For all you Welsh learners out there (and there's lots of you)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿please give this a try. It's a great new addition to the "Dysgu Cymraeg " family!

So cool!

Fluent Fiction is a cool app! I’m using it to learn French and Spanish… it’s fun to hear all the other languages too. The live lantern makes it easy to follow along especially since French has so many silent letters and tricky spelling rules…
