Ratings and reviews

I am giving this app a four star because it still need improvement in the captions because of the level do not have captions but apart from that the app is good to go it really amazing and easy to understand the teaching so I will be so glad to recommend this app to many of us that are don't know how to speak Igbo language just try this app and you will see the good result

I really looked forward to learning a language on this app, but the first lesson was a 34 mins video/audio. I don't think this works for someone like me to whom learning an extra language is not compulsory. At the sight of a 34 mins video, it looked extremely tedious. I want to engage in language learning and enjoy it. Please take a cue from Duolingo (I don't mean to put any pressures on you or compare you to them. It's just for reference). The app hangs too, thank you for the initiative still.

The app format seems nice but I am disappointed they do not have the option to learn the edo language (nigerian).
