### 2/5 — What’s happening?

*2020-08-25*

I really love these Facebook but for some reason the play button does not work when listening to the pronunciation. Is there any way this could be fixed? I really love these phrase books but either the button doesn’t work or it tells me the audio does not exist?? Please help🥺🥺. when I click on the play button it says audio file does not exist?? that’s extremely disappointing because I really loved these apps... i’ll shoot it back up to five stars if this can be fixed🥺🥺

### 4/5 — I don’t understand

*2019-04-07*

At first I really like this app. I thought that I could actually learn a lot of Japanese but then after I made a call something happen. I tapped on hello in Spanish and I tapped on the play button and it didn’t work I tapped again it didn’t work and went down I tapped on the play button there it didn’t work I don’t know what’s up with that but I’m pretty sure that’s not normal for you it’s not and I can fix it but for now I think that you should probably not make that yet so that’s why I have this four-star because I like everything else just it just didn’t work for me that well.
