But unlike every other app, this one will not play through Bluetooth, only iPhone speaker. This is extremely annoying to anyone around me. ### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK AT ALL *2021-11-22, version 2.1* App content - animations with conversation don’t work at all. As soon as I press play the whole app just quits. Looks like the developers haven’t updated this in years so it no lubbers functions. I used this app about 4 years ago and it worked perfectly but now, I can get nothing at all to work. ### 4/5 — Great app! *2013-10-02* I'm used to different learning technique. So, I'm not sure if this is right for me but it is good. ### 4/5 — Coolieo *2013-08-05* It's a good app. Easy to understand, good voice banks, and nice layout. ### 1/5 — Fix crashes *2013-07-27, version 2.0* You need to fix crashes it's up for a couple of seconds then it crashes I've tried reinstalling it, tried it on different device but nothing works. FIX THIS ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-06-22* This is a awesome app I am learning more and more japanese.plus it's freeeeeeeee!!!!! :) ### 1/5 — Crashes! *2013-06-16, version 2.0* Please fix the crashes, I open the app it's up for 2seconds then it crashes. I've tried reinstalling it and nothing's worked. ### 1/5 — Scam *2013-01-20* I also purchased the app at 15 and as it became free i now had to purchase the lessons if i wante to see them. Avoid this. Use another app. Whata rip! ### 1/5 — False Advertising!! *2012-12-07, version 1.5* only 1 module is free, everything else is. $1.99 per module. ### 1/5 — Scammed out of $15 *2012-09-29* I wouldn't endorse this company. I'd give the app zero stars if I were able. I paid $15 for the app before it was free and it came with all the lessons and flash cards. Then they made the app free and the first lesson free but for someone that already paid the $15 then downloaded the update now it's asking for me to pay another $15 for the lessons I already paid for originally. I like the app and I think it's useful but I got scammed out of $15. I even tried to contact someone by email through the app and that got me nowhere - I never received a response. ## Frequently asked questions about Learn Japanese (Hello ### What is the learning methodology used by Learn Japanese (Hello-Hello)?
