Luka Reading

I encountered the same issue with another reviewer that my Luka couldn’t upload for one book. I tried different wifi, switch to cellular, leave the upload window for quite a long time. I searched online too but couldn’t find anything related to the trouble shooting. Eventually I decided to re-uninstall the app. After that, I’m finally able to upload the pictures. I recall when the issue happened, I just switched cellular to wifi in the middle of the uploading process. Maybe that was the cause.

There was one book my kids like most and Luka can’t read yet, so I tried to upload it myself! The uploading didn’t work at all. It stucked at 3% or 4% and it didn’t make any progress even I left it overnight. Can’t comment on the recording part as it would be the step after uploading the pics. Tried to contact the WeChat help. 0 response! Very upset.

As a mom raising kids studying Chinese, I have downloaded several Chinese educational apps and bought and borrowed several Chinese educational toys. Luka has been the most valuable of these resources by far, and, though the app is not completely in English, the developers have at least put the headings and key sections in English, so, I can navigate it as a non-native Chinese speaker. I love that I can see how many books my kids have read each day and that we can even use Luka away from home with books we have in our “owned book list”. I also love that I can use Luka to say messages in Chinese for me without worrying that I am messing up my kids’ pronunciation. I would love to see more Chinese educational products be as user friendly for non-native parents as this app and the Luka device are.
