### 1/5 — Does Not Work-Do Not Buy

*2019-01-19, version 1.0.6*

This app doesn’t function at all. I went to the developers site to comment privately but couldn’t find contact info. In reviewing other apps by same developer it appears this is a pattern with apps that this developer sells. Is there a way of reporting developers to Apple to have them blocked from selling in the App Store when it appears they profit off of non-functioning apps? Only doing one star because it is required. This approach to business deserves no stars.

**Developer response:** I just found your review and yes, my message box was deleted! I have now replaced it. Do let me know if the update works.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2018-09-16, version 1.0.6*

The app has yet to load. It keeps freezing or crashing. This is NOT worth 5 dollars. Please update!!!

**Developer response:** Have you tried the update?

### 1/5 — Audio malfunction

*2018-01-06, version 1.0.6*

Could be useful if the audio was in working condition!

### 1/5 — Sanskrit for beginners

*2016-10-28, version 1.0.5*

It is great in theory but it does not work. I was so disappointed to discover that after I downloaded it. Do not do so until it is fixed!

**Developer response:** Does the update work on your device?
