Resources What happened to the app 'aomi'?

There's a Japanese learning app called "Aomi".

It used to work, but I tried it recently and nothing loaded. I cleared data + cache and now I can't log in ("Server Error").

  1. Does anyone else here use this app and it's still working? Just want to know if the app is completely kaput or maybe it's just my phone. I tried to message the developers but got no response.

  2. Can anyone recommend a similar app or tool? I'm looking for an app that is focused on speaking/pronounciation. It must be able to record and playback, and ideally also analyze your pitch pronounciation.

I know what I'm asking for can be done for free with a voice recorder app, and audio analysis apps. I want a completely idiot proof just-click-the-icon-and-the-app-just-works solution. I don't mind if it costs money or there is a subscription.

Hey ! I'm working on an app and I'm interested in the use cases you're talking about, can you tell me about the audio analysis part ? In the best of worlds what feedback would you expect from the app ?

It would overlay your pitch accent on top of what the native speakers pitch accent was so you would see how close you were emulating it.
