Ratings and reviews

This is app wonderful. I feel like I'm learning a lot more than I did when using Duolingo. That being said, I took off a star because the audio questions are always marked wrong because the app says I said it incorrectly, which is not the case. Not sure what's wrong with that part of the app but a fix would be appreciated.

Mainly learning Russian on this app, it is very quick and I love the way that it hurries me on instead of making be remember and spit out the same 3 words per lesson. It was very engaging, but I lost interest and didn't have the motivation to keep doing my Russian lessons once I got to #1 in the Opal League. I want more Leagues, maybe a reward or something, more competition, something like that.

This app seems dated at first, but it's the best that I've found for teaching Russian grammar. Others emphasize vocabulary, but don't spend nearly enough time on using it properly. The best feature is receiving feedback from native speakers. I took away a star because I used the app without issue for nearly a month, but now the speaking portions of lessons do not work. I can give verbal feedback to other users, but the microphone does not work within lessons. Therefore I can never receive 100%.
