### 5/5 — Muy útil

*2025-07-14*

La verdad es que es una aplicación muy útil. Para los que no vivimos en Nigeria muchas veces es difícil identificar correctamente una hierba de Ifá para poder usarla en la práctica. Esta aplicación lo resuelve muy fácil. Gracias a ella he podido identificar hierbas de Ifá cerca de mi casa que no sabía que existían. Muchas gracias baba por facilitarnos la práctica, no solo con su conocimiento si no también con herramientas útiles como esta!

### 1/5 — Error interno

*2024-06-18*

Hola Vivo en Cuba y la verdad es que no me puedo registrar!! Constantemente da error interno en la app y no me permite el registro

**Developer response:** Àború Àboyè Àbosíse. 

Sentimos tu frustración y la compartimos. Agradecemos tu reseña, pero debes tener en cuenta que no es un problema de la aplicación, que funciona a la perfección, sino del país en el que vives. Al ser una dictadura no se permite el uso de la app en Cuba. Esperamos que lo tengas en cuenta y rectifiques tu reseña. Si logras salir de Cuba, estaremos encantados que uses la aplicación.
