Ratings and reviews

It's a very educational app that's filled with helpful lessons, but I'm endlessly frustrated with the placement tests. I've had "fill in the blank" answers marked wrong despite putting the correct answer, or if autocorrect capitalized the right answer. Some sections have you answer multiple questions, but if you get 5/6 correct, the entire section is marked as incorrect and you lose points for that part. And you can't retake the tests. Ever.

Response not successful: Received status code 500 This is the error message when I try vocabulary trainer. In general the app looks like it's from 10-15 years ago and is full of bugs. The most annoying bug is the random logouts: every 2 or 3 days I need to logon again. At least it could do biometrics for that, and not require username and password every time like it's 1999.

Some 6 months ago I tried to use this app. But I couldn't keep my progress has it don't let me sign in. when signing up it says username and password cannot be same. I am not entering them as same. Today I tried again and nothing has improved.
