### 1/5 — App not working

*2024-04-27*

Every time I try to sign up or log in it gives me a JSON! Alert. If anyone can help me with this, I’ll be very happy.

### 1/5 — Faulty features and Programming

*2024-01-21*

I had to make an account but so far, I can’t even get past half of it…
I had to enter my ethnicity but I can’t because It’s not even on there!!!! AND I’M ESANNNN

Then I thought of just adding it and it would continue to show me “Error!!”

I woul give this app a good rating but I can’t even experience it.

### 1/5 — Problems with the app

*2024-01-13*

The app doesn’t work. It says that it can’t do anything do to JSON and that it’s not in the proper format

### 3/5 — Helpful but some issues

*2023-04-19*

The app is pretty good i just wish some of the phrases had english translations. I’m learning new phrases I just don’t know what they mean so I would never be able to apply them in real life.

### 3/5 — So excited and also fix this

*2023-04-09*

Really happy to have stumbled across this app to learn the language I grew up hearing but was never actually taught. The interface is lovely and it’s so cool to see several languages offered. Once I began the first exercise, however, it became immediately clear that improvements are needed. The images, some (not all!) that included the translations in English are cute, but way too small to read, even after clicking to enlarge; I had to screen capture and zoom in to read the words (and my eyesight is 20/20). 

I also noticed the immediate jump into the deep end of language learning by translating sentences; I initially expected beginning with vocabulary words— something simpler. I’m not familiar enough with language apps to know whether this is common or not. 

The audio of native speakers is great: clear and natural sounding. The sounds that accompany the answer button are odd; the first part is fine, but there’s a vocalization that ends each (the “correct” sound and the “incorrect” sound) that’s indecipherable and disconcerting. 
I’ll continue to use this app and hope this issues will be addressed.

### 5/5 — Cool app!

*2022-02-05, version 1.3.9*

Makes learning and practicing Esan fun

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-10-08, version 1.3.2*

So far so good. Still starting it out.

### 3/5 — Listening sections need English translations

*2021-09-19, version 1.3.1*

The app is good but one thing that is needed is English translations for the listening sections. The pictures are not clear enough for someone to understand what the Esan sentence is saying

**Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for downloading Izesan! If you click "favorite", you will see the English translation. Please let me know if you need anything else!

### 5/5 — Best app
