### 5/5 — Try to tap the screen

*2024-12-18*

It just looks like freezing on ios 18. Try to tap on the screen or slide on it.

### 1/5 — Not working.

*2024-05-29*

Says ‘transmission error’ when you click on a module. Unable to use and paid for the module.

### 5/5 — Helpfully

*2024-04-27*

Perfect App to help me learn the Tibetan Language.

### 2/5 — Can’t access purchased module

*2023-11-15*

It just freezes the app

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2022-11-12*

Last updated 2 years ago. Very “sticky” on iPhone 14. Finally, very rudimentary. Could not find common phrases along with Tibetan spelling an pronunciation.

### 1/5 — It used to be good. Now it’s garbage.

*2022-05-28*

You have to pay for every module and download it, but the navigation and app doesn’t work well. It’s also become confusing and convoluted. 
They have become greedy and ruined a previously good and useful app. 
Too bad. Do not buy.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-07-16*

Excellent app. Thank you for your effort 🙏

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2020-08-15*

Súper app

### 2/5 — There is a but

*2020-05-10*

I generally like the app, but am giving 2 stars as I can’t access my already 
purchased additonal modules from 2nd device. I think it’s ludicrous that I have to purchase and pay again simply to see the same thing from iPad.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work 😞

*2019-03-13*

Sadly, can’t get the app to do anything.
