Please fix the subscription thing. I paid for it and it’s not letting me use the hearts even though it says unlimited. I really like this app.

Great for us American Tongans
LuseaneAk
I was born and raised in America and I’m 100% Tongan. Unfortunately i did not learn the language growing up and now after using the app for a few weeks I’m loving it and using some of my lessons in real life. It’s great for us Tongans who don’t know the language but are proud to be Tongan and sad to not speak our language. The app has some issues in some pronunciations and sometimes it kicks me out between uses but otherwise it’s a great tool. I’m happy something like this is available!
Developer Response
Thank you for your kind review, LuseaneAk.These are exactly the reasons we developed this app, and we’ll keep working on ironing out any issues.Thanks again, and please let us know anytime if there’s something we can help with.
Hearts and lesson fix?
Aua650
So I had bought hearts to go through the lessons, when I finished my 1st lesson I expected to move to lesson 2 with my remaining hearts. However my hearts went to 0 and the following lesson was still locked. I do like the app and I can take an $12 hit but it’s just disappointing that this happened. Will come back tomorrow to see if lesson two opens up.
Developer Response
Hey Aua650,And so sorry for the delay, we have worked hard to provide updates for all these problems, and we have achieve that with the latest version. And I hope our team has completed the refunds and everything has been good, and hopefully you are still using the app. If you have anymore problems contact us directly on contact@asalei.app. We will work hard to improve our rating
Suggestion
MrsM331
This is a really lovely app! I love using this app to learn more of the Tongan language. May I suggest adding a little test or quiz at the end of each unit to test our knowledge on everything we learned?
