The sound switch in settings is off. Sliding it to on does nothing, it moves itself back to off right away.
There were sounds previous to the current update.
Using Japanese, if that is relevant. iPhone X, iOS 12.
No sounds any more
Hi @Mat_Phillips,
Thanks for playing Drops! Weāre sorry for the glitch!
Please, update the app to the latest version now again, and make sure the Pronunciation is switched on in the Profile menu!
If you still have trouble with the sounds, please send us a message from the appās Help section!
Cheers,

Hi Gina, thanks for the reply.
There is no update currently available in the App Store, the installed app shows a version of 29.6.2
Pronunciation was indeed switched off.
If I turn on pronunciation, the sound slider turns on with it.
If pronunciation is on, and I try to turn sound off, the slider moves to off, then bounces right back to on.
I did try to reach out from within the app but couldnāt find a way to do so. Iāve taken another look and have found the ācontact usā button now.
Hi Mat,
Can you please try to update now, and let us know if you still experience trouble with the sounds?
Cheers,

Hi, Still no update showing in the App Store, app still at version 29.6.2
I laughed the App Store and searched for āDropsā and discovered something though. There is an app called āDropsā by PlanB Labs OU, at version 29.6 and it shows a āGETā button, which on the iPhone means the app is not installed.
If I scroll down the results I find āLearn Japanese by Dropsā (also version 29.6), same developer of course, and this app shows the āOpenā button, meaning that the app is installed.
Soā¦ I have the wrong app installed?
If install the one called āDropsā will my purchase be retained, what about progress?
Thanks
Hi Mat,
Sorry, that was my bad, the new version is still in the review process by Apple - itās going to be available soon!
Thereās no āwrongā Drops app. 
We created different apps for different languages because the app store has some limitations when it comes to searching for specific languages.
If you purchase a Premium subscription on a language specific Drops app (in your case, Learn Japanese by Drops), you will have access to all the available languages within that app. Thereās no need to keep multiple Drops apps on your device.
To make sure your progress is saved, please log in to Drops with email, Facebook or Google!
Cheers,

Yup. Iām signed in on the app and it shows that progress is safe and synced.
Iāll wait for the update to appear; Iām sure itāll work fine.
I have what I think is the single license lifetime license, so I donāt think Iād have access to the other languages anyway (besides, Itās hard enough learning one!!)
Thanks for the help.

Do not hesitate to get back to us if you still have issues with the sounds after the update!

Version 29.7.5 available and installed, but the Pronunciation and Sound switches are still tied together.
You can have speech and sound effects, or silence.
I think previously it was possible to have no speech, but still have sound effects. I say this because I didnāt even know that the app had speech until the sounds stopped working!
Hi Mat,
Can you please confirm you hear the pronunciation fine now?
The glitch with the Pronunciation and Sound switches is going to be fixed in the next update! We appreciate your patience!
