Ratings and reviews

After being in contact with the support because I also encountered the "Oops something went wrong"-problem, I was finally able to sign in. However I typically get now stuck in the data migration screen (which did not get solved with reinstalling the app). The only way that I'm able to use the app, is to first sign in in the browser and there click on the vocabulary trainer, so the app open (and works). All of this renders this potential good app fully useless.

The concept of being able to export vocab from the dictionary is awesome. However: 1. As far as I can tell, all my flash cards are gone ever since the new update was rolled out. 2. Please show all lessons, regardless of which language pairs and direction of translation you choose 3. It would also be cool if this app would automatically adjust the direction of translation. When I still had my flashcards, I had loads of flashcards in my decks where the direction of translation was mixed up.

Pretty much what you expect and want from a vocabulary trainer. I am going to substract a star because I am missing a few quality of life features that would significantly improve the experience. Mainly, since I know that PONS has conjugation lists for verbs online, I'd love to see them implemented in the app somehow. For example, maybe there could be an additional exercise that's only about the conjugation of verbs. Or at the least, let me view the conjugation of the verb inside the app.
