### 1/5 — Deceptive

*2025-04-26*

The app is listed for $0.99 but selecting to buy it will charge your account $10.81. I am not sure how Apple allows such a blatant fraud but I am currently trying to have this investigated.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Our app is a one-time purchase listed clearly at $0.99 in the US App Store, and even with applicable taxes, the total should never exceed approximately $1.10. Apple strictly handles billing, leaving developers no ability to alter charged amounts.

We kindly suggest double-checking your Apple receipt to verify the exact source of this charge, as this discrepancy seems highly unusual and likely unrelated to our app. If you find it was an error or misunderstanding, we would greatly appreciate your reconsideration or updating of your review.

If you need further assistance, please contact Apple Support directly—they can quickly clarify this issue. Thanks again!

### 1/5 — I don’t even know

*2025-03-02*

I gave it one star because whenever I try to say it, it doesn’t hear what I’m trying to say. I don’t know if it’s so,etching wrong with my phone or something else.

**Developer response:** Hi! Could you please open the app settings and grant the app permission to access speech recognition? Alternatively, please update to the latest version.

### 2/5 — 오류 개선

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2025-02-25*

Fun game to play. It would be 5 stars if the pronunciation sound was louder. It’s so quiet even with my volume on full volume.

**Developer response:** We’ll fix the volume issue in the next update. Thanks for the feedback!

### 5/5 — So fun!

*2025-07-06*

Need more levels! Please!

**Developer response:** Thank you! We've just added new levels and features.

### 5/5 — Simple and helpful

*2025-04-06*

They actually have English and a couple of Japanese as well. It’s in an early stage now but it’s pretty cool. It’s a good idea and they seem to be updating it pretty regularly. 

I hope they continue to develop this.

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2025-02-19*

I like how this app pushes me to speak while learning Chinese. So far I like and hope to see it grow into something more, may reciting phrases to get past an obstacle. Keep up the great work!

**Developer response:** Thank you! We are planning future updates with new features and improvements!
