Let me give two examples of what is not working: 1. If it asks you to translate a word or phrase, there is a “speak text aloud” button which works. However, if it simply says “Type what you hear,” — I hear nothing, and a button labeled “Play normal” does nothing. I have tried closing the app, rebooting the phone, and the strike-through gesture. 2. I can practice in the app, but cannot start a new lesson. I can only do this on the MacBook. (Incidentally, on the MacBook, the “Type wht you hear” audio is now not working, and I never have figured out how to have it speak the audio over again. My next attempt is to try a different browser. I would love this app if it didn’t cause so much grief.)
