Swahili Primer - Learn To Speak And Write Swahili Language: Grammar, Vocabulary & Exercises app good for

Great app to learn phrases. However more picture would be nice. Overall goo add 5 stars.
Love hearing the Swahili words and phrases and then being able to compare my attempt to the native speaker. Very user-friendly, especially the different topics and tests! Hopefully this will help on my trip to Kenya!
This app turned a boring lunch break into an educational adventure!
This app is really detailed when it comes to the grammatical structure of Swahili. Very cool & useful. The developer is also very responsive to reports of issues/bugs.
This is an amazing app. Very detailed and plenty of lessons to either learn, or get better at Swahili. I travel to east Africa every year and use this app to keep my Swahili fresh. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn.
Before I got this app, I had just been floundering around memorizing Swahili words. This app actually explains the grammar behind word and sentence construction, so now I can actually speak sentences and figure out how to properly express things and decode new words. Dont try to learn Swahili without it!!!

Some bad moments

It doesnt work at all, nothing happens, they should give the money back!
Since ive iOS 5 this app crashes on my iPhone 4S as well as on my iPad2! Please fix!!!!!!
Since last update 6 weeks ago (Nov 2011) it is not working anymore. (i am using it on iphone 3gs with ios 5). New installation does not help. How much longer should we wait for a fix? Update March 2012: It worked for some weeks but now it stopped again, failing to start like it did some weeks ago. I give up on this one. Seems unstable and support not existent.
Repair it. Or stop selling an App that is just steeling time.
I regret that I bought it. I did, since it was said, that it will be fine, once it is installed a second time from iTunes - but it still does NOT work. GET THAT PROBLEM FIXED !!! Otherwise I want my money back ….
The sound recorder does not work and it constantly freezes. Waste of money.
