In the learning mode the student becomes familiar with the IPA symbols, their corresponding speech sounds, their LocuTour spelling, and alternate spellings.
The video mode is most useful when first learning the speech sound, particularly if the target sound is not contained in the learner’s native language (like ”th”) or is a frequently mispronounced sound (like “r”). Videos can be referred to anywhere along the learning curve, from first exposure to imitative practice.
Once the student is familiar with the sounds, use the Settings button to switch to the practice mode. In this mode, the student listens to a target sound and picks a the IPA symbol out of a field of IPA symbols.

Nice app, but needs a home button

Great little app for learning the IPA. However, it lacks a home button or a back button. If you're in the learn or practice mode, there's no way of getting back to the main screen besides going through every screen in the mode, which is time consuming and counterproductive. Add this feature and it will be a much more user-friendly app.
