Ratings and reviews

Free education is always a winner in my book! The options for courses are endless. I only have 1 issue with the new updated version, my navigation bar is blocking me from exiting ads. And it's quite frustrating because now I have to change my navigation bar settings for just one app. Please check on this.

Do not use this for swedish. It doesn't support special characters, and displays tenses wrongly. After just taking the introductory module, I am discouraged from continuing. Aside from the grammatical issues, the information it gives you is inconsistent and it changes the answers to questions between practice and test. For example: "Jag heter Fredrick" literally means "I am called Fredrick", but the app translates it as "My name is Fredrik", which also changes the name's spelling!

There is a variety of courses, even though you will need to pay for certification once you pass it still works out well given that the course material and assement is free. I have taken 2 courses and may take some more in future. The certification is stored on your account so you do not need to buy it straight away (or at all). I found the courses interesting and the app works better on Android phone than using the desktop version for watching the videos and using the playback controls etc.
