Really great app for learning the IPA. Just a couple of things need fixing (I will edit the comment if I find more): (1) please allow phones' built-in back function to work with the app and (2) the tap/flap sounds are mismatched with their symbols in the content and game sections.

I am really liking the app. It is pretty and informative, and very well organised. You should update the IPA chart to the latest version, from 2018. There seems to be an issue with some configuration: My phone crashed completely when I was browsing the app, specifically when looking about the lateral fricative voiced consonant, ɮ.

Absolutely brilliant. Completely outclasses all other apps of this nature. For anyone looking for an international phonetic alphabet reference to keep on their phone, this is perfect. The only thing it is lacking is non-pulmonic consonants.
