New to app
I’m new to the app so this isn’t much of a review, but instead a suggestion. I noticed that the words are based off of your age, and this is upsetting to know. You guys should maybe do a test on how many words we know instead.
United StatesIt’s pretty cool
I love the idea but I don’t like that I can’t customize the word list. And if there is a way, idk how to access it.
United StatesPaid Subscription automatically resets to free version
I was in love with the Aap until few days back. My son has been using Puku for over an year and had completed 900 words. Few days back my puku account automatically got reset to free version and all the categories got locked although I have subscrition till Dec 28 2021. All my attempt went in vain and I had to delete the Aap to reover my paid version. My son was very upset his work was lost and puku got short. I cheered him up saying he can rebuild puku while he revised the words. But again the Aap got reset to free version. I have emailed Puku team and has not heard back from hem yet. I am really looking forward for a solution and in the best case scenario recover my son's lost puku work to love the App again and I can update my review.
United StatesGreat but ……….
My son really likes this app however he’s commented that Puku is kind of weird and gross looking. I mean…. there really wasn’t a better mascot idea??????
United StatesAlmost perfect!
The app itself is great, and I would totally recommend it. Although, it would be great if the vocabulary words could be read aloud to convey proper pronunciation and dictation. Additionally, there should be a feature where you can review your words from previous lists in one lesson. Thanks for reading my suggestions!
United StatesWorst app in the universe I hate it
Practically everything is for the premium why is there a subscription I hate this app
United StatesGood idea, but never any updates
I paid $7.99 for a 1-year subscription in October 2019. Since then, I've never seen a word-list update, and the last update to the app was almost a year ago. This should absolutely have been a one-time purchase if there were no plans for ongoing development. Charging for a recurring subscription is malicious.
