Useless: no audio

This app produces no audio on my iPad, nor my iPhone, which makes the app useless.

The app's support link leads to a nonexistent page on the developers' website. (This is the link from the "App Support" button on the app's page in the Apple App Store.)

In case the developers read this review:

- I'm using Forvo Pronunciation version 4.2.2. No sound is produced when I click on the "Play" button for any word.
- In contrast, the website at forvo.com works fine: every "Play" button produces audio.
- My iPad Pro 12.9", 5th-generation, is running iPadOS 26.5.
- My iPhone 15 is running iOS 26.5.

Doesn’t work

I don’t know why but the basic play button on a pronunciation word doesn’t do anything. You press it, it goes around in circles and then stops. No sound. Surely this is the first thing that should be checked. I’m on iOS 26.4 iPhone 17 pro

Buggy and needs work

Fantastic idea for an app but the app itself is buggy as hell

No longer usable

I used to love this app but after not opening it in awhile I tried to use it recently and it won’t play any sound clips. I can search and find words but when I click the play icon it spins like it’s loading then doesn’t do anything. iPhone 15, iOS 26.3.1 (a).
