Limited Function
My family downloaded this on 5 devices. Only 2 actually open to be used. Voice recognition and pronunciation is no good on the ones that 'work'
United StatesAdding phrases.
When adding phrases, the phrase isn’t available to study in the category you added it to. (ie..pray) Also when you find the location of your added phrase, it shows that the same phrase has been added 5 times.
United StatesSo Sad!
I wish this app would work so much! But whenever I download it and click on it, it never leaves the loading screen. I was really needing to work on praying in Spanish, and I was hoping this app could help but it doesn’t work! I would just recommend using SpanishDictionary.com to learn any important words or phrases you need to know in Spanish. Have a great day!
United StatesApp does not launch in current build
I have used embark briefly before and it has wonderful resources for learning languages, but as of right now it is literally unusable. I open the app, and it just sits on the first loading screen. If this were fixed, this app would be an easy 5 stars. I am only giving it 3 stars because I know what it is and how good it is for learning languages. Once this issue is fixed, I will adjust my rating accordingly. (EDIT) - BUG HAS BEEN FIXED! The app works phenomenally, just make sure your IOS is updated to the most recent version!
United StatesPrivacy policy sets you up for LDS contact for missionary purposes and more.
If the “Church” or it’s “Church enitity” (aka Utah Corporation) of the same name want to provide a language learning tool to improve communication in the world, it should not come with strings attached to provide information for missionary work.
United StatesApp won’t launch
I’ve downloaded the app reloaded and removed and reinstalled it and it won’t open the app.
United StatesWorked for a while
Before it stopped working altogether, it was helpful. Just like for everyone else, the app just freezes on the splash screen for me now. I wish I could say I was surprised it hasn’t been fixed yet, but the church doesn’t seem to have good app developers.
