Great app but weird mouth visual👄

I really enjoy this app a lot and I am grateful you gave made it. Although I personally think the mouth visual is strange and I don’t wanna see that 😂 I feel weird trying to use this app on public. If you made that feature optional, I would absolutely rate 5 stars

Great app

Not only is the IPA displayed; each character has a video with an audiovisual example!

Thanks for the review!

Great app!

Very helpful app. Only thing I’d like added is animated cross-section of articulation.
