Hello Bolo

Common questions

Do I need the internet?

No. Every lesson, word and phrase is stored inside the app. It works with no signal at all.

Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay. Open the app and start.

Can I read it in Urdu script instead of Roman?

Yes. Go to Settings and change the writing to Urdu script. Both are always in the app — this only changes which one is shown first.

Can I make the text bigger?

Yes. Settings has a text size control, and the app also follows the text size set in iPhone Settings, up to the largest accessibility sizes. It works with VoiceOver too.

Where is my progress saved?

On your phone only. It is never uploaded. If you delete the app, the progress goes with it and cannot be recovered.

Will you add more situations?

Yes. If there is a conversation you needed and could not find, please tell us — that is the most useful thing you can send.
