Ratings and reviews

Love the concept and I think it's working well for me. Just one annoyance in that it will often as you to translate a sentence but it will only accept ONE answer even when there might be multiple possible translations. Especially in Japanese where word order can be very flexible.

I think this app is ideal for intermediate learners trying to improve their vocabulary and strengthen listening skills. I think it would be a bit too difficult for beginners as it does not give sufficient grammar explanation. If other apps are too easy but books and tv are too hard this is the perfect app for bridging the gap. It would be improved greatly if there was an option to submit words to be added to their library.

EDITED: Their content is just short YouTube videos. Obviously, the subtitles are added by native speakers, and thus, they are accurate, and that's very useful. However, YouTube videos these days are awful; it's like watching TV in Bolshevik, Russia, and on that note, learning a language on Youtube, which is 100% ANTI FREE SPEECH, just bothers me. ALSO, there is NO clear way to cancel their free trial. I contacted the company, and they were easy to deal with. They took care of that issue.
