No longer working on iPhone

I loved this app for a long time, but a few months ago an update caused it to start working, and I haven't been able to use it since. iPhone 15 user, so it's definitely an app issue.

Nul

On ne peut même pas entrer dans l’application.
C’est du vol!

소리가 너무 작아요

발음이 거의 안 들려요. 폰이랑 아이패드 둘다 동일...

Location required

Another cash grab. You can’t listen unless you sign up, can’t sign up without giving your location under the guise of “we need to know your accent”. I’m not interested in recording so you don’t need my location. One’s location is not a def indicator of accent either. I live in a mid Atlantic city yet there are people from the south, the north, the Midwest, other countries and they all speak with their native accents yet they live here in my city. Bogus.

Не проигрывает аудио

Очень полезное приложение, достойное высокой похвалы.
После обновления перестало воспроизводиться аудио, то есть сам смысл этого приложения обнулён. Очень жду исправления.

Upd: Прошло около месяца, но тут без изменений — аудио проигрывает только через браузер.
И опытным путем установил, что приложение из appstore воспроизводит только когда подключены наушники.
