### 5/5 — HORRIBLE APP!

*2026-09-03*

Hi, I am a fluent Hawaiian speaker. I only rated this 5 stars so that you could see this! Anyway I am VERY disappointed in this app because the first time I even opened it I played the audio that is supposed to sound like how the word is supposed to be pronounced and it was SOOOO wrong. I am very disappointed. It sounded VERY VERY bad!

**Developer response:** Thank you for letting us know, and I'm sorry the pronunciation was disappointing. We are investigating the audio quality. Could you tell us which word or phrase you heard and what sounded incorrect? Please contact us through the app's feedback option or at w-yonamine@starcrown.co.jp. Your feedback would help us identify and address the issue.
