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.

I'm afraid this app has gotten worse. The lower levels are presented in English. The intermediate levels are people speaking at full speed recorded in "realistic" situations, meaning poor sound quality. The music is louder than the voices. Once a video lesson finishes, you have to step back through several links to get the link to the next one, and then find the tiny play button on the video. Before, it was full of articles on different topics, recorded at several speeds.
