### 5/5 — By Iran

Iranology

### 4/5 — How to say the words

*2025-03-16*

It all great but I can’t be sure how to say them

### 1/5 — NAO FUNCIONA

*2024-04-18*

The app doesnt work at all, i want my money back

### 1/5 — Bought it, doesn’t work on ios16.3.01,

*2023-04-06*

Bought it, doesn’t work on ios16.3.01, 
Am. I Scammed out of money , or waiting forthis appto get fixed? Not sure. Infuriating nevertheless.

### 3/5 — Interesting, but...

*2022-03-16*

...it would be helpful to have a way to search for words in English or German as well.

### 1/5 — Dishonest App Description

*2020-10-11*

None of what is written in the description on the store is true. This app is nothing but a list of words and their derivation, using the usual dictionary jargon. The quizzes are no more than random entries, not even a question. 

Waste of money.

### 5/5 — Notes needed

*2019-04-03*

The app is fantastic but please add an option to create notes!

### 3/5 — Problem

*2017-08-05*

It's an interesting app, but there is a huge issue, most of the time when I scroll down it flips the card I am reading over. Just get rid of the feature, having arrows to flip a card front and back should suffice
