Just downloaded this for my Samsung note and the first impression is amazing. Well done indeed. I’ll have a proper play later and try to leave a review. I think we all owe you a collective :beer:

Hi my mum wants to use the new app on her android phone but she can’t access it because she can’t remember her password. As I have not had this problem myself, I couldn’t help her. Is there a way to reset a new password?
Thanks in advance
Tricia

Hi Tricia! Yes, there is, but it needs to be done on the website - so https://www.saysomethingin.com/forgot_password - and then that password will work with the app… :sunny:

We’re talking about getting a ‘reset’ button in the app now, so thanks for flagging that up :thumbsup:

#45

Thanks Aran for a very quick answer! I shall let her know now!

I have a question: Is it intentionally that there’s no listening practice after Challenge 10 Leven 1 to be found on SSiW ap or is it my error. I could find Listening practice after lChallenge 5 but not that one after Challenge 10.

Thx.

Are you following the southern version?

There’s no listening practice available for that, although I don’t know the reason

Ooo, Gee … I forgot this one. Yes, now I remember I had to listen to Northern version of it. Funny enough, all what I had in mind was that it’s double speed and that once listening to it I actually could understand quite some. All the rest got out of my brains. :slight_smile:

Thank you to remind me.

#49

OK, one more, maybe not so bright question: If I have choosen South Level 1 on the ap once is there any chance to switch to Northern just to be able to download this after Challenge 10 listening practice? I’ve searched for this option but I didn’t find it. Well, I could go to the site through the Chrome and download it this way, but I wanted to have everything in the ap though.

And, previously I’ve read in one post that ap doesn’t have pause button. It has it though (just if it comes handy to someone).

Thx.

It’s been well hidden…

It’s available from the Settings screen. To get there:

  • if your phone has a menu button press that and you should see a list of menu options
  • if it doesn’t then touch the three little dots (to the right of the refresh button) to bring up the menu

Choose the Settings option and from there click on the Region option to change it.

You can switch between regions as much as you like.

Haha! I really am stupid! I thought ap wants me to specify my region (where I reside or something). It really is well hidden then. I didn’t even touch that “region” section at all although it was strange to me why here my residing place would be important at all.

Oh, oh … :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot.

Morning, I wondered if I can ask another silly question about the app please? How do I get the new level 1 listening challenges to appear on my phone?
I can see the first one but not the one after 10/15/20/25.
Thanks

Hi Jenny

Are you following the Southern course?

At the moment only the first listening practice is available for South (I don’t think the later ones have been recorded yet)

Hi James, yes I am doing south but it says that the north practices are still useful so I was going to put those on my phone as well.
But it doesn’t matter as I have just been using the computer to listen to them - good excuse not to be doing chores (I often wander round doing the washing etc while shouting at my phone!)

If you go to the Settings menu you can change your Region to North and then download and play the North versions of lessons. You can switch between regions as much as you like.

Sorry it’s a bit of a pain, but the app was written before the new courses and the new way of arranging lessons.

I’d be interested to hear if many people make use of switching between North and South, or would like to, if it were easier. It will help me understand where best to focus our limited app development resource.

For what it’s worth, I switched from South to North in Level1, but that was because of the temporary lack of South lessons for the rest of the level. I suspect that genuine switching-back-and-fore-by-choice would not be a frequent thing.

Hi Joanie

Have finally figured out what the issue is.

It only happens the very first time you play a lesson after the app starts from scratch (so after you restart your phone or kill the app via a task manager) and play the current lesson using the Play button at the bottom of the lesson list without loading it up using the view lesson screen first.

So long as you load up the view lesson screen at least once the issue goes away until the app is restarted.

The Android world is terra incognita to me. If I am telling someone how to find the app, what do I say? In the phrase 'Go to X and search for Y," what are X and Y?

X = Google Play
Y = SSIW
