Unsupported App no-go on iOS8

Mike Spike

Don't purchase until it's working

The app could use an update-iPad compatibility at the minimum. The app is pretty good. It's very helpful at learning the language (French). The woman on the recording makes me feel a little bit like I'm wasting my money because it takes her so long to get it and I'm just sitting there screaming "COME ON!" at her. I'm shocked the other guy on the recording isn't doing that. He picks it up quickly.

Great App

I had bought the "Start" program from Amazon for both Japanese (has its own app) and French (included in this app) and enjoyed both of them and the way it taught. When I began to look for options to continue the course they seemed way too expensive for me ($110+ at the time of writing) until I found this app. The app itself is free which is the first great thing, and then the in app purchases are by the hour up till hours 4-8. So for me, having bought the Start program which is an hour long, I was able to skip buying the first hour again and go straight to the second hour immediately. It picks up right where the Start leaves off and the first hour is the Start for those who have yet to begin their language learning journey. Each hour also comes broken down into parts with each part focusing on different grammar rules or new words. These parts also contain flash cards to help review what you've learned as you go along so you don't have to repeat the lesson to know what words or phrases were learned in that section. All in all, the app goes a little past the Total program for each of the four languages contained in this app (Spanish, French, German, and Italian) and is a great way to learn on the go at a price that I find way more affordable. I really love what they've done and can't wait for them to either expand their language options or make it even better. 5 out of 5

User Interface Height Issue with the New Update . . . Please Fix

YahnNikolás

I love this language app, BUT the most recent update appears to only be designed with the new iPod touch in mind, as the app’s user interface extends longer than the screen height of my iPod touch 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.6. I am no longer able to play any of my purchased lessons because the start/play button is completely off the screen, and there isn’t a scroll bar to scroll down. The previous version was fully functional on my iPod, but this most recent update has made the app nonfunctional for me … please fix this!

Must constantly reload content

I foolishly downloaded the update last week. Since then, whenever I close the app and open it again, all my content is gone and must be re-downloaded. This is a major pain. Please fix ASAP.

Caveat emptor...

Even though my wifi works perfectly, this app is unable to download the hours I have purchased. Do not make the mistake I made. I will revise my rating when the app is fixed. Until then, stay away!

This version is useless... But the app is great

Me8653257

Resuming my Spanish studies, the first thing I did was return to the app. I love the method and how it has me building sentences in my head right from the start. This version solves the multitasking issue (I can lock my phone or open another app and it keeps playing- yay!), but has a bigger bug. Every time I open the app, I have to re-download all of the lessons. On the days that I'm not around wi-fi at all, this means that I can't even use the app. Please fix this and I can write the stunning review this app needs. While you're at it... I like to listen with my headphones while I'm cleaning. However, I can't pause the app with the buttons on my headphones. If I could do this, the app would be awesome.

The purchased content for the app stopped working. I get a message that I need wifi but the wifi is working. I tried contacting them but got no reply. The purchase prices are very high for a product that has no support when it fails I tried deleting and reloading but it's the same problem

Cannot download previous purchases

Cannot download previous purchases I purchased entire series and switched Iphones. Now I cannot re-download. Please help

Good App

It would be nicer if you could fix it so it will play in the background. Passive learning is very effective. Can we get rid of the beeps in the other languages. Only the Spanish one is nice without terrible loud beeps.
