No human transcription for the stories it's all robot voice. | On the good side you can click on any word and get its definition. And the stories are cool. | This is a personal preference but the narrator of the news speaks British (this should be mentioned in the app description)- I'm looking for American content exclusively to avoid unecessary confusion as a learner.

I like this application, it is very helpful especially for those who want to learn the pronunciation of the British accent. But I'm a little sad because the home menu is easy to read Free is not updated from level A1-B

it is a cool app.. they serve better source for various kind of article based on many niche which is easy reading and also you can tap on the unfamiliar world and sudden can translate it into your nationality language.. the article also has a level based by the difficulty and they refresh it daily.. you can also find many fiction book, but otherwise it collects an oldies book or by the apps preferences.. i can't wait it apps become more like an every-add e-book library..
