Not exactly what I thought it’d be

I paid $10 for the animated anatomy feature thinking it’d be like a video explaining the pronunciation. It’s just a picture with an animated line. I tried to restore the purchase but it doesn’t do anything when selected. Personally this app hasn’t been helpful to me

Fixed

I provided a 1 star review regarding pricing. Today I opened it and all was working. Thus far I wish there were more videos, but at least is helpful in showing how to place the tongue. Some recording and confirmation of sound with a percentage would improve this app.
Apologies that I cannot revise my previous review and change the rating or delete.

Be aware

I paid to unlock the videos, started with the letter b, when I checked letter z, asked me to pay again to unlock the videos. So far seems that you pay 13$ for 4 letters… if I had known I would have not even bothered. If this is a bug, I can change my review if fixed.

Useful app. Pity no updates.

Very useful for pronunciation. Some errors with the pinyin with tone marks on the wrong letters. No updates to the app which is a shame. Would be great if the paid animations would show the pronunciation for the complete word and not just the individual sounds.

Love it

Easy to use, practical, simple and focused
