Ratings and reviews

So grateful to Jehovah for such a wonderful gift. It's not easy to learn another language but this is absolutely what we needed. Update 5/14/2024 The app continues to crash on my new Samsung Galaxy S24+. I deleted the data before uninstalling and reinstalling it but it's not working. It skips the part of language selection. When i try to go to its settings to try to select the language that way it doesn't even show the settings menu it just crashes. Please fix!

Excellent app. I really like the feature where I can passively view flashcards while doing something else. It has a way to learn for everybody. Great way to get familiar with Biblical terms for someone trying to learn a second language. Has helped me a lot with Spanish. The only thing that would help a lot is a daily reminders option, but not a big deal since I put a Google reminder. Keep up the great work Brothers.

Persistent issues with app on android devices. Wonderful program when it works, but I've had issues on both tablets and phones that run on Android. I recently tried to download on a new android phone, and the app does not display primary language options or languages to learn upon first opening. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling numerous times without success.
