To my understanding, I should be able to click on the icon within the ebook to hear the audio but it does not work. I can only seem to listen to the audio by going to the audio playlist. It would be very convenient to be able to use tap on the audio icon in the lesson to listen.
This app is an iPad app that was made available for macos with no extra effort to actually support macos. You can't even use the arrow keys to turn pages! There's nothing in the menus other than stock commands. What little UI exists is a mystery. Clicking near the edges of pages goes forward and back, sure, but there are things in my book that look like buttons, and clicking them...pages forward and back. There's no way to pop directly from the guts of a book to my whole collection (supplemental audio for the book). Visual affordances are utterly lacking. Sometimes clicking on the page makes text appear or disappear on the page instead of paging forward or backwardโI have no idea why! Book content that should really be shown together onscreen is broken across pages, so I have to go back and forth too much. Also, the default font is incredibly tiny, and opening the font settings and clicking the larger A changes the margins and line spacing, but the font remains the exact same size. That's...not helpful. Then I opened the Advanced submenu and suddenly the font got bigger. Yay? Some of the controls on that menu don't do what they promise, but at least I got the font size upped. Reading the book I bought is going to be a struggle, and I doubt I'll be buying any more for use in this app.
Overall this is a great app. It has many different languages that go along with the complete book with the language you are learning. Or you can simply just learn by listening. It has many different options and you can buy things if you so choose. The unfortunate thing is that it is a glitchy app. I have to hit pause twice, sometimes skipping 30 seconds twice, and it is extremely slow. Beyond the overall performance of the app, my reason for docking a star, I give it a four out of five stars.
