*2025-09-08, version 1.5.15*

Hello, first thank you for this game it helped a lot but i’m stuck on the level of hotel, i can’t find the last word of reception please help

### 1/5 — Audio is not working from the start

*2025-08-10, version 1.5.15*

I downloaded the app and couldn’t solve the exercises from the beginning due to sound/audio bug.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-29, version 1.5.14*

One of the most useless app I have ever seen in my life. If you want to learn German, it won't help you at all. Obviously, the Goethe-Institut just received budget money and did useless work.

### 1/5 — Problemi di compatibilità con IPhone

*2025-04-30, version 1.5.14*

### 1/5 — Lastima

*2025-01-06, version 1.5.14*

No se oye el audio es inpracticable.

### 1/5 — CAPITAL LETTER “I” PROBLEM

*2024-12-13, version 1.5.14*

THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM AT KEYBOARD. WHEN IT SWITCHED TO CAPITAL LETTERS, THE “i” DOES NOT TURN TO “I”. AS A RESULT, WE CAN NOT WRITE THE WORDS “INFORMATION” AND “INFOTAFEL”. SO, WE GET STUCK AT THAT LEVEL AND WE CAN NOT MOVE FORWARD. SOME USERS SAID ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO. BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT STILL SOLVED. WHY IS NOT THE PROBLEM SOLVED?
