I did not find this app helpful. It will present a new vocab word, then use it in a sentence that contains zero words I already know (even once I got several lessons in). I just feel like I've had words thrown at me in a pile with no rhyme or reason to how the information is presented. I never feel I have any retention for the vocab or grammar even though I aced the exercises in the app. Really frustrating.

The recording part really struggles to record your voice to check your pronunciation, and the results vary on which words are considered acceptable even though I repeated it the same way 10 times for each phrase. the recording portion irritated me so much I wouldn't pay for this. Thank goodness it's a free trial. Then it offers random numbers to learn, which Duolingo does similarly for other languages, but I find it harder to learn numbers when you don't learn at least to count 1-10.

Master Ling app is good enough only to learn new words, but even then there are translation mistakes. It seems that the words were matched against English source across all languages, which inevitably lead to incorrect translations. It seems that no one bothered to check the context in the native language. Furthermore, the exercise examples consistently get the gender wrong (for example, masculine gender words are translated in their feminine form), they ignore the flexibility of word order or, alternatively, provide word order that, although technically isn't wrong, would never be used by a native speaker. I also don't like that that illustrations quite often don't make any sense (for example, a picture of a boy and a girl is supposed to mean ''cousins'', a random number of 0,29xxxxx is supposed to mean ''7 AM'', and an emoji that looks something like this (x_x) is supposed to mean "to feel"). The voice recognition either recognizes incorrect pronunciation as 100% correct or doesn't register voice at all. It is capable of recognizing only short phrases correctly. Finally, I also don't like that the exercises are very easy. It would be possible to select correct answers only by deduction without actually knowing the word or phrase. It doesn't get harder as the difficulty progresses. The app lists difficulties from beginner to advanced, but actually they all are for beginners and you would have to braindead to fail the modules (or simply not pay attention). One of the most common type of exercises is to fill the gaps, for example, to fill the missing letters or words. The gaps are chosen randomly and sometimes it's so ridiculous that you need to select a bracket '')" to fill the gap. Ah, and the report form doesn't actually work. I guess one can't expect much from these type of applications. But for 10 EUR/a month I would have expected better quality control. As I've said, Master Ling is good enough for learning new words and the interface is conveniet, too. Hence, the two stars instead of one.
