Is there some way to fix this? ### 4/5 — It seems good *2025-08-30, version 4.1* I have downloaded this app to learn about the Sicilian language but it seems to not let me listen to the pronunciation of the words. I’m not sure if it is something wrong on my part but I’ve tried everything I can think of and it still does not work. I wish to be able to learn and this app seems to be specific and I appreciate that, but I just wish this one problem would be fixed ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work. *2024-12-13, version 4.1* Are we supposed to be able to hear the pronunciations, or is that only for paid subscribers? It’s unclear to me. I can see and press the sound buttons next to the words but i don’t hear anything. Will update this review if/when it’s fixed. ### 2/5 — Can’t Scroll *2022-12-08, version 2.0* It’s been good so far but recently, there is a glitch where I can’t scroll up. It’s mostly when I am in the coarse section. The sections for phrases,verbs and words are fine. But when I look at the lessons I can’t scroll to read the bottom of the page. Please fix this issue. I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue but I really hope someone finds an answer. ### 1/5 — No audio *2022-11-23, version 2.0* I bought this app but it has no audio. I scoured the comments to troubleshoot them wrote to the app makers about this but they did not respond. I do not recommend this app because you will basically be giving away $10. ### 3/5 — can’t access premium features *2022-08-15, version 2.0* i was excited to see an app dedicated to learning sicilian, but i subscribed to the premium version and i still can’t access the new features. this app has lots of promise if that could get sorted out! ### 3/5 — App *2022-06-07, version 1.3* Tried the free version but can hear any sound. I’m not so sure about buying the full version is going to help..or am I needing to download something else? I really want to like this app…I picked Trapani as the region, since my dad worked there and we lived in Erice part of the time…. ### 1/5 — Sicilian Translation *2022-06-04, version 1.3* This site needs more translations. ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-03-19, version 1.3* It’s hard to figure out how to use, doesn’t allow me to find simple phrases… good morning, how are you? It’s a waste of time ### 1/5 — frustrazione assoluta *2022-02-18, version 1.3* impossibile accedere all'account per una settimana. nessun supporto, nessuna assistenza, nessuna guida, nessuna risposta in questo momento. tale sgomento delusione ### 1/5 — Poco utile *2021-12-22, version 1.3* Bella l’idea ma poco utile perché poco fornita di contenuti. Oltretutto non si sente la pronuncia pur toccando l’icona corrispondente. Peccato! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible and full of ads *2025-11-10, version 4.1* It has very basic words, probably 40 words in total displayed in the app, and every minute on the app an advertisement pops up. Don’t bother downloading. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Don’t *2025-10-07, version 4.1* It’ll have the words on there but you can’t even listen to the audio of the word you’re trying to learn. I thought it would be a fun app but it’s really not. ### 1/5 — Trouble changing password *2025-06-26, version 4.1* Please help. Have been in contact re a link to change my password. Have heard nothing. Otherwise love the app ### 1/5 — No sound *2025-06-18, version 4.1* I hope I get a response to this, for some reason the audio clips won’t play at all. I just upgraded thinking maybe the audio was locked but it still doesn’t play. I’m pretty upset, not being able to hear pronunciation defeats the whole purpose. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-01-02, version 4.1* What a pile of cxxx. The adds cover the content, when you get past that everything you do goes to ‘ upgrade now’. I’ve learn one thing, the delete function. Shame, could have been fab ### 1/5 — iPad does not recognize my subscription *2024-11-12, version 4.1* Works on iPhone but does not recognize my subscription on iPad. Shows adds on iPad ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2024-10-15, version 4.1* Can’t hear the pronunciation. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — La riproduzione audio non funziona *2023-04-23, version 2.0* Audio non funzionante ### 1/5 — Can’t use app? *2023-02-12, version 2.0* I downloaded the app, but I am stuck on the page that says “Select Language: Choose your preferred language”. There is no languages for me to select: it is a blank screen: and it does not allow me to press the “next” button until I’ve selected a language. I tried uninstalling and downloading it again but the same thing happened. This seems like a cool app so it pains me to leave a negative review when I suspect it’s just a bug. Please help! ### 1/5 — Sound *2022-11-25, version 2.0* I can’t seem to get any sound here. Are there any instructions to find out if I’m doing something wrong? Or is there some kind of flaw?? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — love it ! *2024-12-19, version 4.1* my family is from palermo but i grew up in the states. my mother is fluent but never taught me the language. every time i ask her to speak to me she talks way too fast for me to keep up. this app is AMAZINGLY CONVENIENT!!! i’m so happy & grateful i found this. I was always adamant about learning sicilian & not “regular italian” thank you to the creators of the app, absolute life saver. ### 5/5 — Lose the ads *2024-12-18, version 4.1* I’d rather pay a few bucks for this than be interrupted constantly by ads. It’s really annoying. ### 5/5 — Please help *2024-01-13, version 2.0* Love the app, although the sound don’t always work for the words or phrases! ### 5/5 — Top rated Sicilian *2023-03-06, version 2.0* This site is outstanding! As a B1 level Sicilian speaker, I must say they did their research on this one. It is very comprehensive and dialect specific . Great job! Grazzi assai ### 5/5 — Please help *2022-11-04, version 2.0* Hello I absolutely love this app, me and my fiancée have been learning off this app for the past year. We would really appreciate if you guys added more phrases to do with love and other topics. Specifically in the Palermo section. Add more phrases and words please. We will gladly pay more a year for the extra work or I can simply Venmo or PayPal $. Thank you & God bless, Ciao! ### 5/5 — Issue resolved *2022-10-31, version 2.0* Aforementioned issue resolved. App is working great. ### 5/5 — Learning my culture *2021-10-22, version 1.3* My parents came from Sicily and never taught us kids the language. I always wanted to learn to speak the language they spoke because I feel it’s a part of me I didn’t know. I am finally able to learn this language and hopefully pass this on to my children. ### 5/5 — Pleased with the app! *2021-05-17, version 1.2* I am very pleased with the app! The option to learn different Sicilian dialects is impressive! More than what I expected. This may be a long shot but is there anyway you or someone can help connect me with a Sicilian speaker from caltanisetta? I need to sharpen my skills in this specific dialect,( where my grandma is from) ### 5/5 — Great App ! Very convenient *2020-04-17, version 1.2* I have bought books and tried learning Sicilian on many occasions but have given up because a book cannot talk to you and help you pronounce words properly. Id get bored sitting in front of a book, thinking im saying it right just to find out I am not. Many books ive tried learning from were a mash up of many different Sicilian provinces in one making it even more confusing to learn. They come with lousy CD’s that skip around. With this app you will be able to simply choose a province and begin learning. No more annoying books to carry around or outdated CD’s. Its all in your phone and its so convenient, you can learn anywhere anytime! After practicing words and memorizing you take a course and see how well you retained. This is a wonderful app, I highly recommend it to anyone trying to learn Sicilian. Note: For the people giving this app a bad review, they must have their phone settings on Dark Mode. I did too at first and after I switched it off the App worked just fine. ### 5/5 — Very Informative! *2020-04-12, version 1.2* Just downloaded the app after using the website for sometime. It carries on the informational content in a nicely done app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
