It looks like the app’s been abandoned, which is a shame when it could be so good to learn the language ### 2/5 — Meh *2024-06-08, version 1.8* Audio doesn't work. ### 2/5 — Good but no sound *2024-05-03* I like being able to learn the words but I cannot get the sound to work so that I can pronounce things properly. ### 2/5 — Will not load *2024-02-13, version 1.8* Will not load ### 2/5 — app takes so long to load despite normal LTE conditions *2023-07-21, version 1.8* forget about having it handy on the ABC islands, under normal internet surfing conditions this app takes forever to load even the basic phrases. it's plain text. it shouldn't take so long to load. ### 2/5 — Contents Stop Loading *2023-02-08, version 1.8* It began as a great app, as I’m currently wanting to learn the language since my visit to Aruba and upcoming visit to Curaçao. However, the content is not loading anymore. ### 3/5 — To improve *2019-08-15, version 1.6.3* Missing a dictionary to look up words for improving the vocabulary. There is one published in Aruba, why not using it? ### 3/5 — Simple to use... *2019-05-23, version 1.6.3* I was not able to get sound, which others have noted. ### 3/5 — Blank Screen *2018-09-15, version 1.6.3* Black screen that just says “loading”. Works on my Android but not on my iPod. Please fix ### 2/5 — Won't load *2017-12-07, version 1.6.3* Just downloaded this app and it won't load! Seems like a great app but not sure why it won't load. Hopefully it gets fixed ### 1/5 — Content not loading *2017-11-19, version 1.6.3* Since latest version 1.6.3, content is no longer loading. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Didn’t work at all *2025-04-01, version 1.8* I downloaded this and it didn’t work. Sound wouldn’t play. No settings. No instructions. Just written lists of words that can be starred, I guess when you think you know them? ### 1/5 — Worked until it didn’t *2021-12-17* First use was great. Useful, if somewhat uneven, vocabulary choices. Simple interface. Second use got eternal loading screen others have noted. Website link goes to dead page. Unclear if app is still actually supported. **Developer response:** Dear KarlPaTaket, The App has been updated and its available to download on the App Store ### 1/5 — No sound *2021-10-13, version 1.8* I really need to hear the pronunciation ### 1/5 — Even with the update it’s nothing but a blank screen *2020-02-29, version 1.8* the app opens and then there’s a blank screen. The version that is available does not even on an iPhone 8 Please fix this I used this app to learn it was very convenient. I delete the app and install . Still the same results 😪 ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2020-02-01, version 1.6.3* I’ve tried several times and the app freezes on ‘“loading” but never does on my iPhone XS ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-01-19, version 1.6.3* It just stays on the “loading” screen ### 1/5 — Never Loaded *2020-01-15, version 1.6.3* I tried to open this app but never loads. ### 1/5 — ? *2019-12-23, version 1.6.3* Loading eternally. ### 1/5 — App won’t load anymore *2019-12-22, version 1.6.3* I used this app frequently and for some reason it won’t load on my iPhone X anymore. ### 1/5 — Good but not so much *2017-12-08, version 1.6.3* I just downloaded it and it’s sooo slow it keeps saying loading....

This is fantastic. After years of struggling I Am finally going to be able to communicate in my second home. I get no sound. It doesn't help if I can't hear the pronunciation. If that gets fixed I would definitely up my rating. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-01-07, version 1.6.2* This app is great and I love it. Easy to use and it has everything I need!

Papiamento is a very local language to Aruba and as far as I know, isn't spoken anywhere else. For that very reason it is hard to find ways to learn it without knowing people that speak it or finding the few resources in books and on the Internet to teach yourself. ### 4/5 — Needs updates *2025-01-05, version 1.8* Doesn’t work in latest flips smartphones ### 4/5 — Sound *2024-02-16, version 1.8* The sound doesn’t play it’s temperamental open the app 1 day works very well next time the sound just doesn’t come on and all I see is words Overall good app but the sound has prevented me from hearing the proper pronunciation ### 4/5 — Will not load content *2021-07-21, version 1.8* Wonderful app but content will no longer load ### 3/5 — It was great *2022-08-18, version 1.8* Until this app developers hasn’t updated the privacy settings. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
