### 1/5 — Bugs Galore

*2026-09-11*

Even with the various bug fixes and now the new update, there is still stuff wrong. We are paying money for this app to not work. The flash card lessons are blank and the audio doesn’t work half the time. If everything worked, I would genuinely love this app, but it doesn’t.

**Developer response:** Sorry about the blank flashcards and audio issues, Zachary. We fixed these in version 1.4. Please update Kori and give it another try. If anything still isn’t working, email support@learnkori.com. We’d love to help and make up for the inconvenience.

### 5/5 — Sound works now!

*2026-09-10*

Originally, the sound wasn’t Peking but after an update it works and it’s been great!

**Developer response:** We're sorry the sound wasn't working on your iPhone and iPad, and that you kept seeing the "check your connection" message despite having full bars. We've just pushed a new update that fixes this issue. Please update Kori to the latest version in the App Store and try again. If you still experience the problem after updating, please contact us at support@learnkori.com. We'd love to help you resolve this and make up for the inconvenience.

### 3/5 — In theory…

*2026-09-07*

Great in theory. In practice not so much. The sound does not work. It keeps saying to check my connection. Regardless of WiFi or cell data. And the support email doesn’t exist - I tried sending an email and it failed because the address does not exist. I certainly won’t be paying for the pro subscription after this.

**Developer response:** We're sorry Kori fell short in practice. The sound not working and the "check your connection" message were caused by a bug, and we've just pushed a new update that fixes it. Please update Kori to the latest version in the App Store and give it another try. We're also sorry your email didn't go through. Our support address is support@learnkori.com and it is active. If you still experience the issue after updating, please contact us there. We'd love to help you resolve it and make up for the inconvenience.

### 2/5 — Sound doesn’t work

*2026-09-06*

I’ve deleted and downloaded the app twice and I can not seem to get the audio to work. It looks likes a good app, I’m bummed I can’t use it.

**Developer response:** We're sorry the audio stopped you from using Kori, especially after reinstalling twice. We've released an update with fixes for the audio issues. Please update to the latest version in the App Store and give it another try. We'd love to hear how it works for you. If you still have trouble or need any help, email support@learnkori.com so we can help you directly.

### 3/5 — Audio Unavailable

*2026-09-05*

Liked the app but have had issues with audio once I was needing to decide on free trial or not. Hmm

**Developer response:** We're sorry the audio let you down while you were deciding whether to try Kori. We've released an update with fixes for the audio issues. Please update to the latest version in the App Store and try again. We'd love your feedback on the update. If anything still isn't working or you have questions about the trial, contact support@learnkori.com and we'll help.

### 5/5 — 5***

*2026-09-01*

Love this app. Cant wait to be able to hold a conversation

**Developer response:** Thank you for learning with Kori! Being able to hold a conversation is a wonderful goal, and we're glad to be part of your practice. We'd love to hear about your progress. If you need any help or have suggestions, email support@learnkori.com.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-08-28*

Works great

### 3/5 — Fix please

*2026-08-26*

I just downloaded the app but it won’t let me do it for free like It won’t let me learn without getting the membership.

**Developer response:** We're sorry the membership screen made it difficult to get started, Gabriella. We understand that a subscription isn't what you were looking for. Please email support@learnkori.com and we'll help clarify the available learning options and any trial offer shown in the app. Thank you for sharing this feedback; knowing where the experience falls short helps us improve Kori.

### 5/5 — Excelente

### 5/5 — Sound doesn’t work (UPDATE: dev fixed promptly)

*2026-08-18*

UPDATE: the developer fixed the issue promptly, so I have amended my review. The app is enjoyable now that the sound bug is fixed. Thank you for fixing it!

Immediately upon downloading the app, the sound button was broken which makes it impossible to do the lessons. I looked for a way to contact developer through the app before making this review, but wasn’t able to find a way to contact them.

**Developer response:** we're sorry you encountered this edge case. we've fixed it in the latest version, so please update Kori from the App Store and the lesson audio should work. you can always email support@learnkori.com. Please do get in touch if anything is still not working and we'll make it right.
