Resources are excellent, app can be a little unreliable

The resource “Complete Cantonese” I use is excellent and I love listening to the dialogues while walking around. The app can be a little unreliable such as restarting a dialogue if you open it while the app is playing and Bluetooth restart shortcut from my earphones won’t work (although previous, next and pause are perfect). I think with a few tweaks this would be 5 stars, but in the meantime this is still my favourite language learning app and would give a recommendation

Good book, poor app

I love the complete book series. I’ve been using them since years. However, the app is a DISASTER!!!! Once you bought the book you can only open it on mobile devices, not on laptops...
The layout is not compatible with IPads, can’t play any of the audio content as it keeps taking me back to the previous page. I can listen to them on my phone, but who wants to have phone, iPad out and navigating between two devices?!
The other problem is, someone already mentioned it before, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE APP. There is no way around it. You can’t download anything. Can’t import audio anywhere to listen and practice. But have to scroll through the app to find the next one and keep pressing play. (If it works for you...
Didn’t for me).
Overall, don’t buy the app or any of the ebooks. If you can, get the actual hard copy which comes with a CD. There you actually have control over the content that you paid for...

Poor app design let’s down an excellent course

The TY Complete Japanese book has the audio for the course in this app. The book is fantastic and well planned and the audio tracks are excellent. Unfortunately the app is a mess. The screen layout and navigation is unclear and compares badly with other published audio language components. You can’t download the audio to iTunes or your media player and can only access it through this app. Listening and re-listening to a track (a basic facility in any language course) is not intuitive and by no means a pleasure to use. I am sorry to say this as the course book is superbly designed. I hope TY will do something to bring the audio app library up to the high standards of its course books.
