Ratings and reviews

Very good app, the content is very good, better than duolingo. The interface needs improvement though. Even so, it teaches you the basics in a structured manner. I'm also thrilled about the amount of languages and especially about the rare ones. Are you working on expanding the languages covered? Any chances of adding kurdish, latin or any celtic languages?

The biggest flaw in the UI is that it defaults to system language, and it can not be changed. This in itself wouldn't be that bad, if the translation was decent. However, I had to think what every single option in the menu could be in English, before I managed to use the app. Instructions and menu options seemed confusing, mostly due to mixed use of imperative and basic forms of verbs. Note to future translator(s): I can think no way "to extract" translates to "lakkauttaa", as the sentence "sanasto lakkautetaan" makes no sense and sounds like something bad is about to happen (the English version of the sentence was "vocabulary will be extracted"). Also, I may be spoiled for more rapid learning, as I found the progression in learning be too slow for my taste. Being interrupted by tips after each step didn't help, even though you can disable them by ticking the box.

I appreciate that this app provides extensive content broken down into short, reliable lessons and that Armenian is one of the languages offered. However, the app itself doesn't seem to provide any method for user feedback, such as when the audio recording and the text displayed don't match, when the translation is inaccurate, or when we have some other suggestion for improvement; this is why I am commenting here now. Overall, I recommend this app for daily language study, even for busy people.
