How can we reach level 2?

i have finished the level one practice fully and the story as well now everything is locked how can I open them without subscribing?

NOT FREE

Advertises itself as free but will only let you do a handful of lessons before locking everything behind a paywall

Great app, but fix the bugs!

I love this app, but it’s buggy as hell, and there doesn’t seem to be much effort to fix it. I keep coming here hoping to find an update.

The best feature is the flexible conversation practice that lets you blunder through in your own words. I like doing each conversation twice, first winging it (sometimes with hilarious results) then a second time with the prompts to see what I *should* have said.

But oh my god, the bugs. Heaven help you if you don’t want to listen to jarring music during your conversations. If you turn the volume to “0” (apparently the only way to turn the music off), half the time you try to start a conversation the music will force itself back on at FULL volume! It’s very jarring.

There are bugs in some of the lessons, mostly minor, but one in the Frieren reviews where the instruction is the respond to the prompt, but no prompt appears!

Now this week I’m experiencing a bug where for some reason I can no longer earn guild points by doing daily reviews. This is the most annoying of all, because I had been trying to earn points for my guild daily, and now I’m just stuck at zero like a slacker.

And just now when I got a new stamp from the gacha machine (a very charming feature that gives the app a lot of personality and teaches neat little details about Japanese places), it bugged out so I never got to read the details of that stamp! Disappointing.

I liked the app enough to subscribe, and use it every day, but all the bugs are becoming a point of real frustration. The subscription cost is not especially cheap, so if you want to retain subscribers, PLEASE FIX THE BUGS!
