Ratings and reviews

They do seem to have fixed previous bugs. This is a pretty good app through the A1 level, covers the basics well, but the difficulty escalates sharply early in A2 and there aren't enough practice lessons, drills, or explanations. I'm now completely lost in verb tenses and will probably quit at this point. I don't think you could become fluent using this app.

Misleading billing and no reasonable free option. I tried to get the promised 7 day free trial, but it immediately tried to bill my card for a year. Luckily, my payment method in google is expired, so it didn't work. I would have subscribed after a trial period if I liked it. I tried to keep using the free version, but every 10-15 seconds, the screen goes to a "free trial" page, which you then have to skip before going forward. Impossible to use this way.

It has its ups and downs. I like the writing exercises it helps me use the language, but it feels like it's laking content. I gave 1 star because it's so glitching, like It keeps deleting my progress and sometimes the ui completly changes to what it was when I had the app a year or so ago where there are lessons that are completly missing. Then it will randomly go back to the updated look. Also sometimes I complete a lesson and it doesnt even count it. Edit: Haven't seen issued listed 👍
