### 4/5 — No update profile

*2026-04-10, version 4.3.3*

Neither units nor new skills update the progress in the activity box—it still shows zero for all tasks, with no green ticks even after completing the unit. There is still no update in my personal profile, just like in the activity box.

Hello SAYA team,

I downloaded this app because my mother found an ad for it somewhere and told me about it. The short reading articles seem interesting and the topics included in the C1 course are interesting. However, the fact that the free content is extremely limited and that you cannot have a free trial (unlike other apps) is completely unfair. 
In addition, the advertised content claims to teach all 4 skills but the free content doesn’t include Listening and Speaking. This should be notified in the description.
Another concern is that it doesn’t include CEFR levels of A1 and C2; both of which are important in learning to speak/read/write/listen/comprehend English.
Otherwise, this seems like an amazing app! If I decide to get the premium I’m confident it will teach me a lot. Thank you for reading through the entire thing!

From M (student using the app)
