Comments on Bilingual News: Transcripts for Android

★★★★☆ Plamena Koleva · Jun 29, 2020
While I love the podcasts and have been listening to them for years, I have had trouble with this app more than once. There have been multiple occasions where the transcripts just won't open. It would give me a different error like "episode not available" or "damaged or invalid PDF" which is disappointing considering I'm paying a monthly subscription fee and wish to be able to access the files whenever I please, and not whenever the app decides it will allow me to. Still love Mami and Michael.
★★★★☆ Caitlin B · Aug 25, 2020
Love the podcast and happy the transcripts are here! I have trouble looking up words in the transcript mode which has been discouraging. I've figured out how, but the translation screen is a bit confusing with the mix of results. Would also really appreciate the reading included for kanji there! Thanks for all you do.
★☆☆☆☆ Matthew Knowles · Sep 28, 2018
Freezes on a loading screen after rejecting permissions to make and manage phone calls and SMS messages. Why was it asking for these permissions?
★★☆☆☆ Stefan Pröll-大石 · Mar 3, 2016
The Podcast is great the app not Scrolling and reading the texts is awful (you know the thing you would need an app for). Selecting single words for saving them to a note doesn't work at all. In addition, you can't export your saved words, so there isn't really much of a point of doing it the first place. In short, you would be better off with a simple PDF, an Excel or csv file for vocabulary would also go a long way.
