### 5/5 — Cheta Igbo approved!

*2025-08-02, version 1.3.5*

Has helped out students tremendously. Simple user friendly interface and audio functionality

### 4/5 — Sound stopped working

*2024-03-21, version 1.3.5*

This app is absolutely brilliant but after 3 months of using it, suddenly the sound stopped working. I checked the settings and turned up my phone volume but still nothing. :( It’s unfortunate because igbo is a tonal language and it is hard to learn without the sound. 

UPDATE: after contacting the developer, I was advised to toggle the MUTE BUTTON ON MY IPHONE and it started working again. So the problem is solved and I can go back to learning. Thank you for this!!

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2024-01-17, version 1.3.5*

I was trying to find an app that I could learn where I could learn Igbo and this is the best one. I even asked my mom if the words and phrases were correct she said yess!!

### 3/5 — Good concept room to Improve

*2023-02-19, version 1.3.4*

I liked Igbo 101 but unable to get assistance to purchase/access Igbo 102 after multiple inquiries with no response

### 3/5 — Purchasing

*2023-01-20, version 1.3.4*

I’m having trouble purchasing Igbo 102. It won’t allow me. I need your help.

### 2/5 — Too fast

*2022-02-23, version 1.3.4*

First thing first in language concerning repetition is non existent. It must also be repeated in English so that it’s heard as well, not just to read. It moves too fast and you can only pause it and or start over again. There should be a playback option so it either to moves slow or fast. The linguistics is NOT taught which is important and pronunciation such as phonics, or morphology. I know that this may be one of zero systems available to teach the language but it needs to be structured better. As person who speaks 3 language and an ESL teacher myself this app needs some improvements. For a person familiar with the language it may seem child friendly but this isn’t a Germanic or Latin based language so the basics especially must be taught first. I’d suggest looking at the Pimselur language system and format the order of learning in that matter. I would be most thankful.

### 3/5 — Ga?

*2021-06-13, version 1.3.4*

Still waiting for the Ga modules ☹️

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-08-03, version 1.3.2*

I like the colorful graphics and pace of the conversations. Well done!

### 5/5 — This really helps!

*2020-07-25, version 1.3.1*

I’ve been using this app for to learn Igbo for the past two months and I’ve definitely improved in my listening and conversational skills. I hope more modules are added later.

### 5/5 — No sound

*2020-06-28, version 1.3*

I can’t hear. I’ve messed with the settings and still no sound. 
Update: If you have your phone on silent mode, you won’t be able to hear the sound. The developer informed me of this. With other apps, I haven’t had this issue. But I’ve updated my review.
