A mobile version of the '504 Essential Words' textbook in flashcard format. Cards include words, example sentences, and TTS pronunciation. The problem is that TTS is unreliable a critical flaw for a language learning app. An update also locked the second half of the book behind a subscription without notifying existing users.
