Lakota Vocab Builder

I like the concept. Great way to build vocab if you're starting from zero. I have 3 major problems with this app. 1. You can't get to the next level until you go through ALL the exercises. If I'm working on this in public with no headphones, I'm stuck until I can get someplace quiet to listen -- I can't choose to skip the listening section. 2. Related to #1: I did a factory reset on my phone, and now if I want to use this app, I'm going to have to start again from zero because it didn't save my place. 3. The exercise where you drag the letters into the right order can get annoying -- it won't let you "backspace" on just 1 letter, it resets the whole thing. It's a lot of work and causes physical pain if you have carpal tunnel. And again, the way the app is set up, you can't just elect to skip this exercise. If you're not a total beginner, but want to brush up on vocab in a particular area, this app is *not* for you. They won't let you just choose a vocab set you need to work on --You have to do it all. Simple fix: If they would just unlock the levels so people could choose what they want to learn, I would give this app 5 stars.

I love this app! Being able to hear the word, see the word... Helps me to understand how to correctly place the gutteral sounds. One thing I don't understand is why dog and cat or horse aren't in the animal section. Are the words in a different part of the app? It would be great to have a kid friendly app for my four year old. We live so far from South Dakota and it would be nice for her to learn the same words the kids are learning on the reservation. I'm really glad someone came up with this app. 👍👍👍

I'm excited to see a Lakota flash card app that includes audio. I like the books and CDs from this company, so hopefully this app will improve and be as useful. Not so good points on this app because you have no ability to choose what topic you want to begin with to study; they lock all topics forcing you to follow their predetermined sequence. Don't do that, anyone with a slight interest will find this off putting. Second, not all the words fit on the screen. I don't know if this was accidental or if the cards were scaled to fit a screen larger than a 5s, but I'm not seeing some of the letters in some words. It's a shame because on the same card 1/3 of the screen is vacant spacing around the pic or choices. Scale things to optimize the space available. My rating will improve when the app does.

I would give this app 5 stars--it is a great idea to help learn--but it constantly crashes when press the first step of "people". Every single time. And, since it is set up that you have to complete each step in order to unlock another step or category, even though I paid to unlock all the categories, it's a dead app. I keep hoping that the company will send out an update, because I love this app, and would love to continue using it again. I gave it two stars because it has a good gui, when it works it has great functionality, it is a great idea...and if the problem in their app always freezing as soon as I start the first "people" step, I will happily update this review to five stars.

I really love this app! It's helped me with vocabulary so much. I had problems getting past seasons but after deleting and reinstalling a few times it worked.
