App

It is an excellent APP for learning English

American English support desired

This is a really nice app and if it supported American English as an option, I'd prefer it to some of the other apps out there. But it doesn't and seeing how the American English IPA has different symbols for different sounds, it isn't very useful to me. I would've appreciated some indication American English wasn't an option when I purchased the app. If you're looking for British English, you can't go wrong here.
