Pros and cons of Learn Kurdish Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Learn Kurdish Pro app good for

Only half the audio seems to work. I also found on a couple instances that the audio does not match the word. It could use an update. This app is very helpful.

Its ok for a person who is starting to learn Kurdish. Some parts dont work!

Some bad moments

Icon is there, but nothing happens. I tap the icon, the screen flashes black, then it returns to my iPad home screen. Nothing!

Missing words like "aunt". The pronunciation is clear. Some words on the voice over do not work. Overall I think it is a good starter app for this language.

In general a good app. Just wanted it for the real basics though it has probably over 200 words and phrases. Some technical glitches. Some words the audio doesnt work. Some words, the audio gives the English rather than Kurdish.

When I first got it, the pronunciation was working but with my volume set to max and it was hard to hear what he was saying..... Now I click the pronunciation button and I cant hear anything at all with the volume at its highest and thats a Big Bummer! I want to learn so bad but without the sound its not helping me :((( I wish it could be fixed..... I tried my iPad and iPod .

Its great app but we are waiting for update so we can use it with iOS 8 When you will update it ??

I purchased this app to help teach me Kurdish, and it worked just before ios8 came about. Now with ios8 it wont open at all. I would like a refund.
