Ratings and reviews

Great app to learn German, thought really well in any aspect, helps learning the language and getting to know the country. Don't know whether it's my cellphone, lately in the exercises of the type "Ordne den ersten Teil des Dialogs" The sections cannot be viewed completely, even if I rotate the phone there are sentences which are partly or completely hidden, as if the page width hasn't been set by percentage but by a fixed pixel number. Hope it could be adjusted soon. Thanks

Wonderful course! You can choose your level (A1, A2, etc.) and make quick progress in grammar, reading, listening, writing, vocabulary and (partially) speaking (great for learning the pronounciation if you train repeating the sentences out loud). And all for free and without ads!?! The best substitute or complement to German in-person lessons.

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.
