Intermittent functioning with 10-15 second delays

Installed on iPhone 7s and MacBook Pro

Gave up after 5 minutes.

I’d like a refund please.

Stopped working

I used this app once to practice my speech and it worked fine. It hasn’t worked since. I’ve tried redownloading and restarting my computer and phone but nothings worked. I know it’s only 99¢ but I’m not happy I wasted my money on this.

Doesn't work and website for extra download not loading so useless

That's it! Refund please!

Waste of money

I installed this, followed the instructions to install the software on my MacBook. All it did was freeze using Keynote and try to open Powerpoint (which I prefer not to use).
