### 3/5 — Audio controls temperamental

*2025-09-19*

The tracks run on from one to the next. It should be possible to play just the track you want. When using the play previous or next track controls, the audio plays immediately, giving you no time to prepare. The -30 and +30 controls appear temperamental. This is meant to be a learning tool.

### 1/5 — A real shame

*2025-07-19*

The pasos series of books are an excellent way to learn Spanish. The audio is crucial - and is fine if you use via the web. I’d try to use via this app it’s so bad it’s virtually useless. I’d suggest do a better app or scrap this one. This is doing your brand real damage.

### 1/5 — App does not function

*2025-04-03*

You cannot download any audio content so the textbook is rendered useless. There is no way to contact support either so I wouldn’t bother getting the books or the app.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-04-03*

This is my first ever app review and it’s because this app is so bad, I brought the German books to learn German but I can’t access the audio supplement. Now I have to return the books, thanks a lot.

### 1/5 — Dire

*2025-01-26*

The app is incredibly slow to load and so far I’ve been unable to download any materials at all. A complete waste of time.

### 1/5 — Terrible app….

*2024-11-15*

Crashes, audio does not match the book. Total disaster. Need fixing urgently. May actually return the books if the audio does not work

### 1/5 — Learning Spanish

*2024-02-18*

A complete waste of time, the videos run too fast and it’s basically just people talking. There are subtitles, but in my view it does not go with the course book. don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — John Murray Languages Library

*2020-05-06*

Unfortunately it’s impossible to buy and download the Wilkommen audio/video material which is the reason I downloaded this app in the first place.
