Ratings and reviews

hello so far I like the app for my kids. the downside is audio recording of your voice is too short . I have the latest samsung galaxy phone the recording of my own voice when holding down is too short. 2nd we need wtitng in twi . I'll love you say this app can improve and it has great potential. alot of thought is put into. so don't give up . the better the app the more money 💰 you can make. this is so good us akans in diaspora. when teaching a language.

Updating my review to praise the Efie team's response. I reported a bug where Premium content was locked. Founder Nana Kwame personally reached out, apologized, and provided an immediate workaround while the technical fix was prepared. The update is now live and confirmed working. Their honesty and commitment to resolving issues for paying users are impressive. Thank you for the quick fix! The app is excellent and fully functional.

is good for learning but needs some improvement
