### 3/5 — Needs to be updated

*2024-08-29*

Sounds will not play on iOS.

### 3/5 — Great resource but needs updating

*2022-03-11*

When I first got this app it worked perfectly but as another review mentioned the new IOS update removed the pictures and sound so it’s hard to know the proper pronunciation of sounds and symbols. Please update! I’ve been using this to study my language and I’m worried I may not say i g the words correctly.

### 2/5 — Great Idea, doesn't work well

*2021-02-17*

The app doesn't seem to work great. Audio just wont play randomly, and pictures are missing. Sometimes "downloading" all the new words fixes the pictures, sometimes it doesn't. I haven't been able to get the audio back now for awhile so I can't progress through the lessons. 

The previous app by Stoney Education Authority let you search words. That was very useful.

### 3/5 — iOS 12.1.2 messed up the app

*2018-12-31*

This app was great until my iPhone did an auto update to iOS 12.1.2. Now there are no pictures nor sound. So you cannot see what the word is supposed to be nor hear how it is pronounced. Please fix this glitch.
