Ratings and reviews

I bought the phrasebook in a store and downloaded the app. The app allows you to listen to the actual sound of the words, which is essential when learning French (sounds are just crazy innit). It does exactly what it says, so I'll give it a 5. However, I wish it had a flashcard function! That would really make this book-and-app combo très bien!

Bought a physical copy of the French phrase book and followed the instructions provided to download the audio files. But I can't even download any of them. Emailed to the address provided in this app, but I was notified that the message could not be delivered due to the recipient email address possibly incorrect. Terribly disappointed!! [Updates] Managed to download the audio files after a week, so changing the rating from 1 to 4.

Since the last update, the none of the Phrase books I downloaded appear in the library, so I cannot switch between them. Also, the scan function does not work- the camera will not focus on the barcode on the back of the books.
