Awful interface

You have to scan the page every time to get the audio or transcripts to come up, and about 80% of the time, the app won’t recognize the page at all. How awful.

Great when it works

Very simple to use which nice, and the exercises are great. But it’s a 50/50 chance that it will actually scan the page so I can do the audio exercises. There are so many listening exercises I can’t do because it won’t work. I would really love it to be fixed so I do them.

No sound

There’s no sound and the app is slow.

I can’t listen to any recordings on my iPhone 13

Recordings in the app and the website can’t be played on iPhones. It’s very annoying to have to switch to the laptop.
