### 1/5 — Why won’t the settings work?

*2024-07-16*

How do you expect anyone to use this app when there’s background music blaring while trying to listen to the pronunciation of words.
It’s unfortunate as I was looking forward to using this app along side my studying.

**Developer response:** Hello,

We are committed to doing our best to resolve the issue you mentioned. The King Sejong Institute Foundation has recently launched a new integrated Korean language learning app called [손안의 세종학당]. If the issue persists, we recommend that you use the [손안의 세종학당] app for your Korean language studies.

Thank you.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2024-06-15*

I literally just downloaded app and there is no sound. No matter what I do nothing plays. I’m pretty sure this app is amazing to use but I can’t tell because it doesn’t work for me. Ive even reloaded the app and still no sound.

### 4/5 — Text size

*2024-01-21*

Newly downloaded the app and spent about 30 minutes getting it set up and trying my first vocabulary. The text size is small and hard to read for me. At least it would be nice if there was an option to increase the text size on the cards.

**Developer response:** Hello, we are very pleased that you enjoy our app. We will actively reflect your feedback to provide better services. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Sound Issues

*2023-12-02*

The volume only works if I’m using headphones. A fix would be appreciated.

### 4/5 — Audio

*2023-08-30*

Audio buttons are not working, it would be so helpful if I can read and also listen to the audio.

**Developer response:** I apologize for any inconvenience. The availability of features may vary depending on the status of your mobile device, and if you encounter recurring issues, please feel free to contact us via the developer email for further assistance.

### 1/5 — Login/Signup

*2023-01-09, version 2.4*

I have been trying for so long to create an account. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app like 10 times and even restarted my phone. My teacher told us to get the app and gives assignments from here so this is a huge inconvenience. The page where you choose how you want to sign up won’t stop loading. I’ve tried all four choices and I get the same loading icon and I can’t move on. Please help.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your message. Sorry for your inconvenience. We are going to try to make it the best. Regards.

### 3/5 — Please fix music on/off option

*2022-09-18, version 2.4*

Downloaded app and enjoyed 30min of navigating through and I enjoyed myself. Went through the words of the day, recorded my voice to hear how I sounded and everything. 

I log out and come back 4hrs later restart the app and there is music playing on every page through every activity and in the background of my voice record (sometimes louder) 

I want to engage this app as I know it will help but the music is a bit distracting and causes frustration when trying to learn

**Developer response:** Thank you for your message. Sorry for your inconvenience. We are going to try to make it the best. Regards.

### 1/5 — Frustrating!

*2021-08-29*

The content of the app is perfectly fine and works well when you’re using it but it constantly forgets your details and resets your account so it’s impossible to make and track any progress and so slow to be repeatedly having to download the files for it. There is no point in purchasing the upgrades because your account won’t be saved when you next go to open the app anyway.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your message. Sorry for your inconvenience. We are going to try to make it the best. Regards.

### 1/5 — Fix the app

*2021-06-21*

I'm trying to use this app and the features work fine but everytime i exit the app it ALWAYS resets all my progress and I lose my level and all the points i accumulated. This is disappointing so please fix it

**Developer response:** Thank you for your message. Sorry for your inconvenience. We are going to try to make it the best. Regards.

### 4/5 — Thinking and problem
