Ratings and reviews

I'm a little disappointed with the app. The app itself doesn't have very good recognition when speaking. There are several occasions where the app said I was saying one thing and when I did the repeat I said exactly what I was supposed to say but I was counted wrong. In terms of the content, you really have to like cartoons, the shows The Office and Friends because there is so much content surrounding this content. I'm not saying there's no other content but I wish there was more variation.

This platform delivers the things I was looking for. It has thorough explanations and deep repositories of resources. I love having multiple examples given in context for each word. The platform is also good at explaining and pointing out nuance. Overall this is the site I was looking for, so I decided it was worth subscribing too. You could perhaps cobble all the pros of this site together with multiple free resources, but it would be onerous and ultimately not as good.

Lovely app for intermediate+ learners! Love the video format as it's very engaging. However, it's very difficult to use if you are a complete beginner, because it's nearly impossible to figure out how to make the sounds of a lot of the words/alphabets. Having a chart/guide on how to make certain pronunciation would be very helpful
