The AI couldn't guess my accent correctly which is OK as it's fairly non-standard. However, the onboarding flow needs work. I feel like it took too long to ask too little and it made the wrong assumptions.

The app also crashed towards the end.

re:assumptions I realize my experience is outside the norm. But there are "native" english speakers in most countries on Earth. Immigrants and expatriates are an example of one such community.

The app assumes that there's only one kind of "native" speaker i.e. Americans, British folks and Australians. That's not the case. Over 80 countries have native english speakers. Many of them have accents that are outside the American and British norm.
