What is going on with this app?? It's pretty amazing in theory, but I can't seem to log in again no matter which way I try. Have I lost all my favourites and pronunciations I contributed? Is there a way to contact anyone for support regarding this? Please let me know who to address this complaint to. Otherwise, like I said, it really would be a very useful app.

I love the idea of this app and hearing native speakers pronounce words is awesome. However, I'm encountering a bug when I try to record pronunciations - as soon as the app stops recording, it force-closes.

Only for majour languages and there is no real discover or learning feature.. It doesn't even differentiate between majour groups of dialects in English, for example. There could be at least the dialect groups British, US and AUS or smth like that, but no, there is just English. The function to add a language/ dialect is missing anyway.
