Not working on samsung galaxy edge. Openning app takes more than 2 minutes. When you get to the menu then it is unreadable, just all buttons and text lines looks like one big mess. Expected much more for this price and from that brand. It would be nice to see technical description how to use tounge, lips etc, to make sounds. Not recommended this app.

Not meant for Samsung as it's overlapping and you can't see the entire list on the screen, very annoying. So basic for a paid App. I have learned the Phonetics in the UK and this app has a weird Phonetics sounds in my opinion. Shame I paid already for it, If I had known this i definitely wouldn't have bought it.

Hands down the best pronunciation content in any app. Unfortunately, the app itself is very shoddy. Half the time fields and buttons overlap so you can't access them. The whole thing crashes every 5 minutes. Still the best tool out there for this particular purpose.

It's great. I am using it for my studies and it has helped me a lot. Had a problem installing on a new phone and it customer care responded quickly. My problem is solved. Room for improvement - work on start up speed. Is it the best phonics app out there? Yeah

I'm shocked at how lacking this app is. Don't get me wrong, there's a ton of words, which is a good plus. However, anyone can use Quizlet, FOR FREE, and the learning functions are so much more adaptive and helpful. In its present state, I'd say not to waste the money. It's a real shame. It seems very much that Macmillan are using the name in order to overcharge for an inferior product

I have just changed phones from a Samsung Galaxy S5 to an S8. The weds now overlap and it is not easy to find the packages I have purchased. As an ESL teacher, I found this app very useful. Please make it compatible with contemporary smartphones.
