Nearly perfect

This app exceeded my expectations. I got this app just because I wanted the audio for IPA sounds, but found videos which can have the playback edited, as well as a fun and helpful matching game. My only criticisms are minor, and those are: 1. The interface, though very functional, could benefit from some more organization (for instance, the matching game is not distinct from the general playback area, and only serves to as a tool for confirmation). 2. It would be nice to be able to be able to choice a language and have only those phonemes from that language be accessible, so as to make things more simple and goal-oriented. Also it would serve as a helpful visual. 3. It would be nice also to be able to loop videos, or to choose your own pair of videos to loop so that you can choose a contrast of sounds and really get to know the differences. However, these suggestions are minor, and this app does what it claims to do, and does it well.
Very excellent

It's very convenient not to have to go to Wikipedia every time I want to go and look up sounds. The zoomable pdf-like display that you can tap on is a very nice interface for tapping out sounds, and going beyond that to show vocal qualities as well is extremely handy.
Very helpful

Just be aware that you may encounter some down-throat videos of vocal folds when using the matching quiz, or if you tap any of the glottal consonant sounds. Not a complaint, just a warning.
Audio not working

The audio isn't working anymore though the video is. Was really helpful but not so much now. Please fix.
