Too many things wrong with this app. I start off with the Russian lesson. To a new person starting the lesson, it makes no sense. You would have to know some Russian to even begin. On audio questions when you have to speak, it will always say your correct, even if you've said something else entirely. You could hum it and it still goes through like you passed. Also, when you have to type, I used a Russian keyboard and still got it wrong. This app needs a whole lot of work. Duolingo was soo better

The content itself is pretty good and helps to retain info. However, that's only when all the features of the app are working. Lately, the review section no longer works and all accumulated words are gone. The paid version is quite expensive so I don't appreciate not having full functionality. I was told there was no time frame for this issue but also, when I mentioned refund I was told they will "provide compensation if the issue takes longer than expected"...but there's no time frame...so...

i love this app loads, duolingo but better. short repetitive lessons that thoroughly explain everything, real people for the audios, and it teaches it in a good order at a good pace. it does prompt you to buy the subscription version often, but the free version is probably the best i've seen of any language app. it still gives you the same thorough lessons, but the premium version does have things like vocab + grammar practice that would help loads as well. i highly recommend it! :)👍
