### 5/5 — Audio works

*2023-06-13*

This app is working well. Audio is good and working. Very pleased. Did test run with the lite version and then purchased the full version. Happy.

### 1/5 — Why no audio?

*2022-07-25*

I have the text book and was excited to find the app. None of the audio files play so it is not useful. Can anyone explain how to fix this? Thanks

### 1/5 — No sound

*2019-08-16*

Wanted to try the lite version before getting the regular version, but there’s no sound, so how do I know if the sound will work on the paid version?

### 5/5 — No audible

*2018-04-11*

2018.04.11 sound fixed, will upgrade free to paid

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2016-07-13*

This is the study book I use with my Japanese tutor which is really effective. The lite app is basic but refreshed my memory a lot. I am hoping that book 2 will be covered soon and then I will purchase the full version to run parallel with my studies.
