Very disappointed. This app needs work.
WORDY REVIEW WARNING! The gist is this: This app needs improvements (suggested below). DO NOT BUY IT IN ITS CURRENT STATE. Devs, if you’re reading, please either make the changes I suggest or stop trying to make a profit from this app. When I spent my $8, I was expecting something like Duolingo, but specifically for Hausa. This app is NOTHING like that. Once you complete all the “games”, it’s almost as if you’re done learning the language… except that’s not how language-learning works! There are no helps, no review sessions, no reminders for accountability, nothing. People learning Hausa need lessons, not games. On another note, in the food and countries section, why is there no inclusion of foods that would be familiar to speakers of Hausa (e.g., fufu, egusi, chin-chin, suya, cassava) or countries where Hausa would be spoken (e.g., NIGERIA)? Seriously, this app needs to be stripped and reworked. I might as well have bought a dictionary. If Duolingo taught Hausa, I’d use that instead because it would be FREE. I regret spending money on this. All that said, if the developers are reading my review (they probably aren’t) PLEASE MAKE THESE IMPROVEMENTS. If you want to profit on your product, make it a product that’s actually worth something. Otherwise, make it a free download, because that’s what it’s worth in its current state.
