This is not a cheap app, so I was very surprised at the horrible sound qualty of the spoken Chinese phrases! I have many apps on my iPhone, but this the worse by far.

Lousy sound quality
Doesn
It is a large application: 350MB and the concept is good but it just doesnt work. The voice / speech stutters and it does not continue on to next phrase. If you manually try to go to next phrase the app closes and you have to reopen it. Basically only works for (1) phrase and then you have to reopen the app. The speech is hard to understand and stutters at the end of the phrase.
Outstanding effort to assist the cultural exchange
I have had the program for two years and have learned much when working with my co-workers from Shanghai. Thank you for the program!
