Ratings and reviews

LingQ has a lot of potential; however, the user interface is clunky and feels like it is trying to do too much. The coin system is unnecessarily complicated and it is difficult to figure out how to do basic word reviews. Pricing is also unreasonably steep given the lack of curated content. I'll check back occasionally to see if there are any major updates, otherwise I will not be renewing my subscription.

Mostly great, I'm really enjoying the app for the most part. It's nice to be able to import content I want to use to learn. I will say there are several little hiccups with my target language where the translations get it of sync with the sentence showing on the screen, or in some videos the highlighted words are ahead of what is actually being spoken by a sentence or two. It would be cool to be able to import lyrics from Spotify for songs that have them.

This app seems like it could be really useful, but the free version is so ridiculously limited. I couldn't even get through the first lesson that covers how the app works because I ran out of LingQs. Even after deleting words, it still says that I need Premium. I really hesitate to spend money on the Premium version when I can't get a realistic feel for how I would use it.
