This is a very good app! But! It stuffers a ridiculous and annoying bug, when I finish listening to an audio, and I want to look at the vocabulary list at the bottom of the page, it suddenly jumps up to the next audio or if I set the settings it starts to real allover again!!! When I finish I want to look at vocabularies!!! That's why you have listed them there!!!

Useful application, this app is a good suggestion for those who want to update latest news from many aspects of the world, short audio and videos with handling info. But problem is I've just purchased VIP account to remove ads but it's ads keeps pop-up on the transcript, which makes me really annoyed 😫, please fix this issue. Thank you so much.

Best Play Store APP I will point out three main reasons for my vote. 1- We can use the dark mode in the application itself or in the text. 2 - Fully integrated with the Google translator, which gives me the chance to hear and read the meaning of words I don't know. 3 - It is possible to turn off the screen and continue listening as a podcast. In my opinion, we just need to think about more current news on more topics. Congratulations from a Brazilian student!

I found this app useful because it taughts me about the thing i was not doing whether consider stuffs like english practicing, news updatation, or influencing vocabulary on day to day basis. I enhanced my accent as well as grammar not only by hearing it but also through practicing and speaking along with autotone. I found it useful and i am damn sure you'll also find it significant. Thanks for such applications.

It's a great application. But there is one little problem. When I select text and choose translate option in dropdown menu, it's always opens google translate in english to english mode. The application dosen't remember my previous choise. Can you fix it please?

I use the app since years and I satisfied with. But after i bought a new phone (Pixel 6) with (android 12) i noticed that i can no longer use Google translate inside the app, also the auto pronunciation doesn't work anymore and the favorite sign ❤️ sometimes doesn't work. I hope it will be fixed soon.

It's a great app to learn English. The articles are currents and informative. They allow me to improve my fluency by allowing to practice pronunciation, that is shadowing. I recommend it for sure.

it's a great app i think it will help me learn a daily English used by native speakers . it liked English@the movie section it's really fantastic but i wish if it could contain more and more scenes and be more than just 2 minutes . 6 minutes will be okay with alot of different scenes or a complete conversation between the actors i think this really helps

This is a excellent application. Have very good content and is very open minded. Have different topics and that made it interesting. The vocabulary and the pronunciation is outstanding I enjoy listening. I hope more people can take benefits from listening.

The application stop when I change the speed of. Conversation, it is not playing and nothing happens, I have to go previous page than start at the beginning of the audible article. This must be fixed. So annoying each time.

Very much like this app. However, I would suggest making the news a bit more complicated as I find them kinda simplified what I understand but I strongly believe it is good to include more advanced language and expressions. Further than that, rhe app is so helpful. Thanks!!

Hi there... The day I updated this application, it's performance dropped to a greater level. Now it takes too much time to load a file and most of the times my screen got all black and it also feels quite jaded. Please do something and make it work properly like before.

Ami. M. Jan 27, 2021     

Using this app for a long time and here is a recommendation. When pushed a word or phrase for a long time, it is expected that there is a google option near translate and copy options but it's not. So i have to copy the phrase and open a browser to look that up. Tnx

The best listening app ever, I spent a lot of time testing several apps for help me to improve my English listening and finally found this one. It's very up to date with new news everyday, short listening news always summaring the latest ones. I'm so grateful it's developers.

Awesome app for practising English listening. The app shows what it speaks, let you to choose the speed, automatically repeats speaking as what you set, and it can run even though you turn off the screen. Love it.

Tried to install it but it isn't actually loading anything. Installed in 2 different Android devices, tested over wifi and cellular data but nothing seemed to change. It worked for a friend of mine that has an iPhone. Is this an issue for the Playstore app version?

Good application for studying. Excellent realisation audio and typing information. But it to slow for me, I want to hear normal speed speech. Maybe developers fix it in a future, I hope. Good for beginners and pre-intermediates, slowly for higher levels.

H. M. Jul 7, 2020     

It's a good app but whenever I turn Wi-Fi on my phone freezes for about a minute and shows a pop-up message that this app isn't responding. I don't have any problems with other apps. Please fix this. Running LineageOS 16 on Xperia Z1. Rating will be revised after fixing the problem.

It has been a great experience with this amazing app. It helped me become a good English speaker. Now, I can speak at length using advance vocabs without any difficulty. Excellent work!!

VOA is a great app. With an easy interface and interesting content, it'll help you a lot if you're a begginer in english and want to improve your results (specially with listening and reading).

The news are short, understandable and the audi is also really helpful. Beside , the new words with definitions have been provided at the end of news which make it more practical.

This app helps me a lot about listening and pronounciation.. I really love it.. I hope this app can add a feature about how we read the whole text so we can fix it if we say incorrectly.

There are so many fabricated and wrong news in this app. If u don't care accuracy rate of the news and just improve your english that's good app. Unless try to tell us right information about countries or nations the rate of stars will be same.
