Ratings and reviews

took a 12 month break from this app. I like the new format. it's still easy to use and navigate. enjoying the three different language options. *the best part is: they have a feature, where you can skip the speaking/listen for 15 minutes... if you are not in a place to turn up your volume, or if it's the wrong time of day. the pictures used still match the word they are describing. great for beginners and those that need a review.

You can only do a few lessons for free, and then you have to pay a very expensive subscription. There is not enough training in just writing or reading, so it does not help improve those skills very much. The minigames are gimmicky and more about how fast you can react than about your actual language skills. The app is overall a waste of time; there are much better and cheaper options out there.

[Edit 2⭐ down from 5⭐ - They changed everything. Updated lost ALL my progress over years of practice. VERY limited access before they force you to buy. This app used to be amazing 😢.] [OG review ->] Only been through the first two lessons - but everything is clean (uncluttered), efficient and straightforward. It does the thing, which is all you can hope for. Good job, guys! :)
