Ratings and reviews

While I really like this app, I cannot give it full stars because of a BAFFLING choice to not have a section-by-section way to review vocab. A list of vocab or flash cards would be great, but you will need to make those yourself, unfortunately. EDIT: This is an especially big deal for those not learning a language with a similar alphabet to English (eg Spanish, German, French). For instance, Japanese learners learning the kanji for vocabulary may not be comfortable writing the kanji accurately.

I feel like a paid app can easily be a one stop shop for all my language learning needs. Flashcards, drills, benchmarks, etc. This is nowhere near that. It's like 5% of what you need. You have to find or create the other 95% yourself. A total waste of money when you're going to be putting in the legwork yourself either way. *Your experience may vary with other languages. I'm learning japanese and my daily hiragana practice has almost nothing to do with this app.*

checkpoints are permanently glitched. it keeps saying nice try, but you scored less than 80% when I go to take them. doesn't matter which one I do. it can be one I already passed. it can be one I've never attempted. I've cleared app data so it is a problem with my account being permanently locked from doing checkpoints. if I don't get a response from the developer, I will charge back the 40 dollars I recently spent on lifetime.
