Been using it for a year at a casual pace - for app learning it's way better than duo, but the live part leaves a bit to be desired. I've done 75% of the A2 classes and 50% of the B1 classes and now I only can find 1-2 classes/week that aren't repeats. The in app explanations are good, and it's broken into sections that make practising more efficient. I'll probably finish the app content in the next three months and with the lack of live classes, won't have any reason to stay subscribed.

The program and most features are really great, but I wish I could disable the steak notifications as they're annoying and I mostly only care about the hours spent practicing and the prices I'm making. Having a thing pop-up that says how many days long my steak is after each session becomes really annoying really quickly. **Edited to clarify: I mean the in-app pop-up to congratulate me on my steak after completing a practice or session, not the email or mobile notifications, which are disabled.

It would be harder to imagine a worse language course. Good grammar explanations, but the practice units are slow, unrelated, very basic, and often in English (my mother tongue). One of the characters has a thick American accent. It took me about 2 months to finish the course. Save your money!
