All my paid purchased languages disappeared.

Hello
I change my phone. Got all my apps transferred to the new phone automatically.
I tried to use the app and it had all my paid purchased languages but all would error out saying it was corrupted and that I had to re- download.
I tryed to re-download but I could not find d how. Selected every option on the app and nothing.
Finally I decided to delete the app and re-install.
Then I could see no languages available to f download including the ones that I had previously bought and paid for.
I tried to restore purchase but nothing happens.
I had German 1-5 Italian 1-5 and Spanish 1.
Now all I can see is Spanish 1 which now seems to work.
But I can’t re-download the other languages that I had bought and paid for.

Excellent app for learning many different languages. It’s also lots of fun.

Paid for nothing

Developers stopped updating for advances with iPad, so the app is now useless.

Great Content Horrible Interface

So I like the learning approach but it was so difficult to navigate this app. I gave up and deleted it.

Who needs another app for Spanish

I want Vietnamese, the only thing that I can see is So
Spanish. What a dud!
