Areas that need improvement: English Pronunciation - Otterwave is a great app, but one
major drawback is its price: it costs 10 dollars. In addition, the user interface looks a bit
childish and could be improve majorly. However, if you don't mind the price tag and the
interface, it's still a great app to use at its core.
