DK Come On, Please Do Better!

Books Never Stay Downloaded in Library I read a review from 4 years ago and it appears there is still the same issue. Whenever you download a book, it takes a few minutes to download. After it is complete, the book is not in the library. After exiting the app, you can still access the book you were last in, but if you download another one of your books in another language, the previous one will have to be redownloaded. It would be an easy fix. I’ve always thought highly of DK, so it’s a bit surprising they won’t update their apps like they do their books.

Just downloaded and works as advertised

I downloaded the app onto my iPhone 12 Pro. The moment it opened, it asked for access to the camera. Once I accepted, I took a picture of the barcode of a phrase book and within a minute, I was scrolling through 150 pages of phrases. The audio works just fine. Hope it continues to work as it is now!

The barcode doesn’t work

I bought the visual German English book where it says revised and updated with free audio app (this app) on front but it won’t scan or recognize the ISBN barcode when I type it in. Also didn’t realize my book was damaged when I bought it (that’s on the bookstore and whoever damaged it) but definitely not happy with the purchase on all points because of that.

DK travel phrasebook

Worked just fine when I bought the specially designated books and went through the process to load the audio. Didn’t have any difficulty and found the audio to be quite useful. However just tried to get on the app today after a hiatus, and the phrasebook app simply flashes open, then immediately shuts down. I have an iPhone 6 using IOS 12.3.1. Assuming the DK application software hasn’t been updated. Would appreciate developer feedback and upgrade. Thank you!

App has no audio

I should have checked the ratings on the App Store before buying this book. Tried entering ISBN manually and scanning it. Status shows Download Complete for Spanish but nothing shows in the Library. Running iOS 12.2 on iPhone 7.

Did not load books properly

I added the Chinese phrase book and it worked but did not show up in the library. I then tried to add Japanese both by barcode and by typing in the ISBN and neither worked after many efforts. I’m disappointed. The app needs to be fixed.
