Hi I’m new to thunkable and have been working on an app for kids to learn about climate change. The app has sound so kids know what to do but the sound wont work on my ipad. it works perfectly fine of thunkable live live test on my laptop just not on an ipad. I have also made other projects to test …

Hi it was related to the video problem thunkable doesn’t like spaces i removed the spaces and the sound works now thats for all your help!

There was a known issue with sound playback on iOS devices that was just fixed. Are you using the newest version of the Thunkable Live app?

Yes I updated it last week thinking that was the problem but it didn’t help. Thanks for your help!

I have version 266 of Thunkable Live on iphone SE (the old small one). I’m not getting sound for an app built with the snap to position/legacy interface. Hoping sound works in built apps - guess I’ll need to build one!

Hi @catsarisky and @aandkcodinga , Could you both test out the sounds in this project on iOS for me?

local. I’m not sure about sizes - will check.

I did get sound working in Thunkable Live, @jane . It may have been a coding error? The kids had the sound play block, but weren’t checking if it was loaded first. Oddly, that used to work OK (and still did on Android), but now it doesn’t, so I’ve added the change to playing when the source chang…

I’m glad to hear it! Using the play block without the on source loaded block will work if the sound manages to load on time - looks like it loads faster on Android than iOS. Using the on source loaded block would be considered best practice, since sometimes the source file will take a little longe…
