Latest reviews of French course: Teach Yourself® app for iPhone and iPad
This is better than the book and CDs by far due to the record and compare your voice with the native option... But the recordings seem to be like 8k aac files or 16k mp3 (pretty low quality) but still good enough to hear whats being said. Id love to see an updated version with better audio Like 32k bit-rate minimum... All in all its a great course to learn how to speak, type, read and comprehend French!! I bought the in app levels and never regretted it...
I bought the first 2 levels before the update. Now the other two are available after the update but I cant buy them because the "buy all" button keeps spinning around. Am I supposed to buy the "pro" version to get them?
The sound quaility is severly lacking. You can hear all sorts of compression artifacts. yet overall it is a good app of a good text book to learn french.
