No audio
Victoria_Liane
For some reason my audio doesn’t work so I can’t follow along with the exercises that require me to listen to the audio tapes. The book was wonderful though!
Unbelievably awesome resource

Simple app with self-graded flash cards. At the end of each set you are rewarded with a colorful screen, your self-determined score and a fun little music clip. So far no glitches.
No Sound on Easy French Reader Premium 3rd Edition

I was excited to hear the stories in this book read to me with correct pronunciation, however there is absolutely no sound. When I go to listen to them I can see the play bar moving but no words even though my volume is all the way turned up. This is terribly annoying because it means I have to go and type the stories in elsewhere to ensure I am pronouncing the words correctly in French. I hope this problem can be fixed as it was something I looked forward to when I purchased the book.
Record function doesn’t play back.

Record my pronunciations, but can’t play them back. Also, after record function is used I lose the ability to use the speaker and have to restart program. Could be a great app if it worked as described.
The audio for Easy French Reader does not play!

I was very excited about my purchase of Easy French Reader, 3rd edition, because of this companion app. Alas, the audio files within the app do not play. I see that others have posted the same comment. It is frustrating that a major publisher like McGraw Hill hasn’t fixed the problem yet. Please honor your commitment to your customers and get the audio working.
Unusable
AllieLiddell
Doesn’t remember where you left off, so every time you open it, you have to pick a language and then scroll through all the books published for that language. Audio doesn’t work for Spanish verb tenses. App is also incredibly slow both when I have to scroll through the books and when it is grading. It’s not even worth opening this app as it is now.
Sparse But Useful – Scrolling Had Been Broken Since the Last Update

This app is very useful and I hope more books are added in the future. It definitely feels like a 1.0 app that and behaves like an app from 10 years ago. Since the last update scrolling has been erratic in the app.
Desperately needs some TLC

This app has a lot of potential but someone really needs to work out the kinks. *The scrolling is horrible. The app basically scrolls one section at a time and it’s very frustrating. *Your progress is not really saved. It’s supposed to save but there appears to be a glitch making it hit-or-miss. I also wish there was a shortcut to pick up where you left off rather than locating it through several menus *The book I purchased, Easy French Step-by-Step, is not listed anywhere in the menu. I was really hoping for an audio accompaniment to the book, especially after seeing this app advertised in the back cover. Perhaps it is there but the scrolling is too glitchy to locate it. *Sometimes the audio does not work and sometimes you hear multiple strings of audio played all at once Please take the time to refine the app. It would be so helpful if it were working properly. I know it’s a free app and all but I would honestly be willing to pay a few dollars (a one time, small, flat fee) if it meant the app was streamlined and fully functional.
