### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-10-09*

It’s not a trainer. Only 1 video to watch. Useless . 😞

### 1/5 — No sounds

*2024-02-11*

Like many others, no sound. And, my phone was not on mute.

### 1/5 — No Sound

*2018-07-21*

Sound does not work in iOS version off app. No sound!!

### 1/5 — no sound

*2016-02-05*

The video has no sound.  A bit pointless.

### 5/5 — Audio

*2013-05-23*

The audio works perfectly. You only need to flip the mute switch on your iPad and make sure the system volume is turned up.

### 1/5 — audio issue

*2013-04-22*

Like the approach version, no audio playback during the video.

### 3/5 — Good, but...

*2012-01-05*

This is a good intro to the basic functions of the 530. Video is clear. Explanations are clear and to the point. However, it is more in the line of a podcast rather than an app (no interaction) and it is just not enough to convince me to pay almost $30 for EACH of the two full "apps"
