Audio

It’s a good app to learn, although I can’t get past lesson one because the audio isn’t playing. ( phone sounds and notifications sounds and ringer and video audio plays normally) It’s the apps audio that is stopping us from learning.

No Audio

I can't get past the listening section of lesson 1 because the audio does not work on the app (works on everything else on my phone)- and, since you can't skip lessons I can't move past to see if the audio is broke on other subjects as well..
Plus everytime I do a reset to try and get the audio, I have to repeat the first two lessons just to get to the audio and find it still not working. So frustrating, no fun, can't do anything but the same 2 lessons that take 10 minutes first learning, can't go forward on anything because no audio.

Don’t know how to start using it

I don’t know how to start it

No audio

I’m really excited about the app! I am unfortunately having an issue with the audio. The audio is not working at all ....

I also wish I could navigate backwards through the lessons as well. I tried skipping ahead to see if the sound would work in the next part and now I missed that entire part of the lesson.

Good app

I loved this app. It was great to learn with, but after I had not used it for a while the audio portion of the learning would not play. After resetting everything and even deleting and downloading app again, it still did not play the audio. So now I’m going to have to look at other apps

I can’t hear the sound therefore can’t advance.

Re-installed app but on just the third module, I click and click but nothing is produced. Maybe it’s a me thing and if so I’ll change my rating. Good beginner app. But something wrong with sound so helpless

Good idea, but give users more freedom to choose what to learn

I like the concept. Great way to build vocab if you're starting from zero.

I have 3 major problems with this app.

1. You can't get to the next level until you go through ALL the exercises. If I'm working on this in public with no headphones, I'm stuck until I can get someplace quiet to listen -- I can't choose to skip the listening section.

2. Related to #1: I did a factory reset on my phone, and now if I want to use this app, I'm going to have to start again from zero because it didn't save my place.

3. The exercise where you drag the letters into the right order can get annoying -- it won't let you "backspace" on just 1 letter, it resets the whole thing. It's a lot of work and causes physical pain if you have carpal tunnel. And again, the way the app is set up, you can't just elect to skip this exercise.

If you're not a total beginner, but want to brush up on vocab in a particular area, this app is *not* for you. They won't let you just choose a vocab set you need to work on --You have to do it all.

Simple fix: If they would just unlock the levels so people could choose what they want to learn, I would give this app 5 stars.

Audio missing

I would easily give 5 stars to this app, BUT the sound is missing and so it is impossible to move up since the listening section does not work.
Please fix this ASAP! ThanksI

The app crashes

I am only able to get to the “Seasons 1” of the categories. Then the app freezes. Great concept zero delivery. If you can update the software it has a lot of potential.

Doesn’t work on iPhone.

I have this same app on my tablet and it works fine but for some reason it doesn’t work with iPhones.

No audio

The audio won’t work when I use the app, for any word.

Love the concept... but

Along with hochunk vocabulary builder they will work fine but it never fails, they both freeze and I can no longer hear the pronunciation. Please fix

Love this but...

I really love this app! It's helped me with vocabulary so much. I had problems getting past seasons but after deleting and reinstalling a few times it worked.

Great App, But Always Crashes

I would give this app 5 stars--it is a great idea to help learn--but it constantly crashes when press the first step of "people". Every single time. And, since it is set up that you have to complete each step in order to unlock another step or category, even though I paid to unlock all the categories, it's a dead app. I keep hoping that the company will send out an update, because I love this app, and would love to continue using it again.

I gave it two stars because it has a good gui, when it works it has great functionality, it is a great idea...and if the problem in their app always freezing as soon as I start the first "people" step, I will happily update this review to five stars.

CRASHING :(

I seriously love this app. Great learning system.
But every time I try the "Seasons 1" category, it crashes without fail. If I reinstall it, I have to start all over... Bummer. Please fix it! Pilamayaye!

Love!

I love this app! Being able to hear the word, see the word... Helps me to understand how to correctly place the gutteral sounds.
One thing I don't understand is why dog and cat or horse aren't in the animal section. Are the words in a different part of the app?
It would be great to have a kid friendly app for my four year old. We live so far from South Dakota and it would be nice for her to learn the same words the kids are learning on the reservation.
I'm really glad someone came up with this app. 👍👍👍

Wašté, eyáš it still needs some updates

Love this app! Wúh áta! Has some glitches. Made it into the 4th level and it froze up. Had to download twice before it would let me get past the 'Wóyute' section, éééyáš it's pure wašté Chicago 🙌🏽 #Hóka

Good start, needs work

I'm excited to see a Lakota flash card app that includes audio. I like the books and CDs from this company, so hopefully this app will improve and be as useful. Not so good points on this app because you have no ability to choose what topic you want to begin with to study; they lock all topics forcing you to follow their predetermined sequence. Don't do that, anyone with a slight interest will find this off putting. Second, not all the words fit on the screen. I don't know if this was accidental or if the cards were scaled to fit a screen larger than a 5s, but I'm not seeing some of the letters in some words. It's a shame because on the same card 1/3 of the screen is vacant spacing around the pic or choices. Scale things to optimize the space available. My rating will improve when the app does.
