Helped me a lot , improving my accent

Extremely handy!! B4 I got ma hands on it , I barely understood d difference between i & I sound at all , be it hearing or saying , I failed in both . Now I can differentiate. And it's very well said that " if one can't hear d sound , might not even say it ...

Wrong symbols and sounds

The IPA symbols for the diphthongs are wrong where the I is should be switched with the other letter and the e that is placed there on some should be a o. The sound that is a monophthong and looks like a m on its side should be e as in egg. The rhotacized vowels should have upside down Vs above them to indicate the r sound. And the a in path with that same symbol should be that sound not the e as in egg that is in this app. Please people these systems are super nice, but get it right please.

Vowels not accurate

I'm an American linguist and language teacher. I can't understand why there are so many problems with the monophthong (single vowels). The problems are various:
1. Wrong recording (for example turned "c" has /r/ at the end).
2. Wrong spellings of words ("onion")
3. Misunderstanding of the difference between American and British pronunciation (gives a different recording for every phoneme but should show change in IPA instead).
