Frequently asked questions

A video does not play

Check your internet connection and swipe to the next clip. Videos are streamed from YouTube, so a video may become unavailable if its owner removes or restricts it. If a clip keeps failing, let us know its title.

I found a wrong translation or explanation

Please email us the clip title and the word or sentence. We fix content in the next update.

How do I change my explanation language?

Go to Profile → Explanation language. English and Turkish are available.

How do I retake the level test?

Go to Profile → Retake the level test.

How do I change or turn off reminders?

Go to Profile → Reminders. If reminders are blocked, allow notifications for Dackel in iOS Settings → Notifications.

Why are there ads?

Ads keep Dackel free. They appear as a separate page between clips, never while a video is playing, and you can swipe past them.

How do I change my ad privacy choices?

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, go to Profile → Privacy choices. To change tracking permission on iOS, go to iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

How do I delete my data?

Your progress is stored only on your device. Deleting the app deletes it. For data processed by Google, see the Privacy Policy.
