Strengths of English Radio
Firstly, it is user-friendly because you don't need to pay for enhancing your English and you can easily getting along with global users and can freely share your daily life.
Surprisingly, there's no need for you to bring your heavy notes and reference books for revision during leisure time as you can finish your self-study on this platform to understand what skills you need to enhance for preparing IELTS writing tasks. Apart from the sample answers, there are some tips and ‘fill in the blanks’ exercises. As a result, you can do practices and try to memorize some key words you may apply in the exam.
Weaknesses of this mobile app
Actually, to a small extent, it is less convenient since you have to download extra apps while you need to use some of the platforms on this app.
In addition, sample questions for IELTS are not adequate since it merely provides resources for writing tasks. If the resources for reading and listening even speaking tasks are offered, it would be better and more comprehensive. And the radio channels only broadcast music but not international news, so it would be more helpful learning English if global news will be broadcasted by the radio.
Review
Overall, I give 4/5 scores to this app~~
