Ratings and reviews

Although this covers A1 material well, there is a significant programming error in this app. Specifically when you type an answer if you press the space bar after the last letter the app will mark your answer wrong due to the space. This app is not ready for prime time! I don't think I'm wrong for expecting better out of the organization that is recognized as the gold standard in certifying the ability to speak German.

The content and the exercises are great but... the app is poorly designed. Some options are outside the screen and one cannot reach it. When there is a long text to fill the gaps, there is no scrollbar, so one cannot scroll to read the complete phrase. A few fixes and worth 5 stars.

Good. Will give 5 if you fix the bug. Why don't you have other levels? But developer should go to hell. If you switch the app and wait long enough (so that activity will be destroyed or with Do not keep activities flag in developer settings) and switch back it will crash. And it's annoying to start task from the beginning. It's also not so gut that you don't have 'Next' button instead of 'done' the keyboard when you need to input text in boxes.
