I'm going to Italy in the summer so I thought this was the perfect oppeetunity. IT WAS! this is a good app only when it says u can record your voice (laughs) that's funny cause u CANT!
For first time speakers ( like me) this is the perfect app

Italian Lite
Being able to access the lesson so easily at any time any place. I'm loving it! So much easier than having to set aside time at the PC. I find so many free moments to run through the phrases.
It's free
This is a free app so I was not expecting much. The vocab at times is frustrating when you get a word that is the same in English. It would be nice to have more phrases then words as I feel that would be more helpful. But as others have said it is free can't complain much.
More for fun than for learning
I enjoy it. Has had a few bugs that they have fixed. Makes me angry if the word is something like "email". But it's fun to see what the word is each day and use it all day long. Besides, it's free so can't complain much. Have no interest in buying the full version.
They do mean "lite"
This app is marginally useful. It occasionally reminds me of vocabulary I learned in Italian class and has on five or so occasions over the last year and a half taught me a useful word. However, many of the words that are released to the lite edition are names of places that (unlike some important ones) do not change in Italian. I keep it around more because of inertia than because it's actually worth having. After a major update failure killed its usability for almost a month (but fixed the again-broken Notifications, much to my amusement), the new update begs you to review the app. Hopefully this will teach them not to ask for things they shouldn't want.

It's getting there, but slowly
When I first got this app it, Only gave me 6 words! That was 1 word a day. Then words stop coming in. Other programs are free & they give over a 100 words! Please don't waste your money or time. Update... More words started to come in. Voice sample is not always clear & at times speaks incorrect. To make matters worse last update has made the app go black & returns to home screen. Making it completly useless! If you reinstall you lose all the words you collected & have to start over with words you already learned. Then you still even get a black screen at times. Waiting now to see how long before an update is sent to fix issue. Wrote then the other day to let them know.
NEW, ok so they have given us another update. Yes it seems to have fixed the issues I have stated. I'm getting to the point where I believe others should try this app now. The company seems to be trying to repair there status with pass reviews. By listening to the all so many issues we have said. So far their on the correct road. If things contiune to keep improving I will be buying the full app.

Not Worth It
Even for free I do not recommend. For the asking price of $0.99, I definitely would not purchase.
1) PROMO VERSION - This lite version is really a sample of their expensive $9.99 version. Both versions are overpriced. This should be FREE always and the pro should be no more than $4.
2) ONE WORD DAILY - Not helpful if you want to build vocab. There are better apps that have vocab flashcards grouped by category or an audio phrasebook for better comprehension.
3) UNTRUSTWORTHY - This company has a reputation for errors. I have 2 different apps that have mistakes with gender article concordance, wrong or mispelled words, & non-native translations.
4) BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE - No response to email about correcting errors. Update to fix mistakes seems unlikely.

Does what it says
Gives one word or phrase each day. It may not be the most efficient way to learn a language, but the description is accurate.
Existing users: DO NOT Upgrade until the bug is fixed. You will lose your entire word bank.

I can only get one word;(
I can only get the word 'orange' and it won't go the next word. It's an ok app if it would work
Note to designer
I would desperatly like the Swahili lite app free cos I'm out of cash but really want to learn Swahili
