Ratings and reviews

Its kind of fun and easy to understand, but you need premium access to do alot of stuff it seems. Only just starting also, I saw how random the words were. There was no rhyme or reason. I have been doing Norwegian on Duolingo for a while and sought out another option to further the learning, but i don't feel challenged with this app either. I think its good if you are interested in learning Norwegian, but maybe not as a commitment.

Im using drops for Norwegian and my biggest gripe is not including some indication one whether the word is masculine, feminine, or neuter. Even if you added en/et/ei or just an indicator, that would be better! In languages where gendered words matter it's really important to teach that, not just the word itself assuming the learner is coming from English. Otherwise, the app is great alongside Duolingo or other apps like it to build vocabulary if you don't have any reading material or etc!

Update April 13, 2022: The latest update made learning more difficult. You are constantly getting interupted with noises and "5 word streak" etc. Please remove. I don't need to know how I've done throughout the session. Just let me learn the words without interuption. There is a lot of delay and hang ups and the program no longer works smoothly. Gets more glitchy with each update. I'd rather have a simpler program that works smoothly then all the additions you've made in the last few years.
