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.

Bonjour, et désolés pour la gêne occasionnée. La version 4.2.3 corrige les problèmes les plus signalés, dont les prononciations qui ne se lançaient pas sur iPhone. Mettez à jour et réessayez. Si quelque chose ne va toujours pas, écrivez-nous à info@forvo.com : nous lisons tous les messages. Merci de votre patience.

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.

ゲーナ.

Recordings don’t play

The app stopped working: I hit the play button but the audio does play. This is the main feature of the app and it doesn’t work properly.

Hi, and sorry for the trouble — this one was on us. On some iPhones the app stayed silent when the ring switch was off. It is fixed in version 4.2.3: please update and try again. If anything still doesn't work, write to us at info@forvo.com and we'll help you out. Thanks for your patience.

Not working

I play the audio and there is no sound. It’s not working. Please fix it.

Grundfunktion funktioniert nicht.

Bis vor kurzem war es schon extrem schlecht gelöst, wenn man sich eine Aussprache anhören wollte. Lange Ladezeiten mit vielen Bugs. Seit kurzem funktioniert es bei mir aber gar nicht mehr, sich Aussprachen anzuhören, was die App absolut nutzlos macht. Sehr schade.

Hallo, und entschuldigen Sie bitte die Unannehmlichkeiten — der Fehler lag bei uns. Auf manchen iPhones blieb die App stumm, wenn der Stummschalter aktiviert war. In Version 4.2.3 ist das behoben: Bitte aktualisieren Sie die App und versuchen Sie es erneut. Falls weiterhin etwas nicht funktioniert, schreiben Sie uns an info@forvo.com, wir helfen Ihnen gerne. Vielen Dank für Ihre Geduld.

Used to be great, now completely broken

The app no longer works. You can still search, but unfortunately there is no audio in the results. It used to be a very useful app that I really liked, but sadly it hasn’t been working for quite a while. I’m using the website instead.
