Unique and powerful features - not a fan of how they handled the upgrades
I’m revising my original review as they’ve since included the Live section of the app in the same subscription and given access to Lifetime subscribers. This is great value now as the Live speaking and review options are truly world-class features. They’ve also significantly improved the Review feature. I massively respect the fact they listened to their users and are constantly making the app better. This app will now be a daily part of my language study routine. Thank you!

First off, the use of speaking to study is a great option.
The conversations are good for grabbing phrases and then inserting them into your own flashcard app. Which you will need to use because the review feature on this app isn’t good enough or customisable enough to truly cement what it is you’re learning.
Pro’s and minor Con’s aside, what I really don’t like is that I bought a Lifetime upgrade (yep, stupid me), and then the app six months later decides they will unveil a Live feature using Ai. But you guessed it - the people who bought lifetime memberships don’t get access to it. Not even a discount as a reward! Which would be very much appreciated as the rates are very expensive and on the level of more well-rounded and established language learning apps.
The experience has soured me from ever buying a lifetime membership again as developers now use lifetime membership upgrades as a temporary cash infusion to fund feature development that they’ll then expect to charge you again for. Better to stick to a time period subscription and then ditch an app if they screw you over.

Response from developer
Wow what a kind review! You really made our day. The cost for AI was lowered by 50% so we decided to include it in all subscriptions/memberships. So happy to hear you like it. All the best!
