2025 Still No Sound (update has sound!!)

Overall it is the same as the book which is nice for me as a student so I don’t have to carry the book to school everyday but it is still upsetting not to have audio. I don't know if that will ever be fixed. The app loads up just fine. Edit: folks we have sound now!!!

Simply a gem

I have had this app since 2014. I still dip into it from time to time. A wonderful complement to the book and the DVD series.

Still no sound on videos but content good.

The audio on the video sections with Richard are still silent. Doesn’t seem to be any way via settings to correct this. The written content is great but the app as far as I can see is broken. And it is the app not my iPad.
