Solid
The only thing I wish it had were more languages. I’m currently studying mandarin now, but more options that’s not community made would be really good.

Simple and Effective
Unfortunately, the last few versions have introduced features that are of dubious value (e.g. answering using numbers), along with many bugs and annoyances. I used to be able to enter answers using romaji or hiragana, and had always wished I could use kanji too. Now, all answers must be entered using romaji. If I try to enter hiragana, very strange things happen (e.g. typing KA inputs あ, and when i hit 'delete' to correct, I end up with ああ). Also, for no apparent reason, the app will now just crash in the middle of a review.
I also wish there were more example sentences to go with each vocabulary word - some have 2 sentences, but most only have 1. Some of the sentences are unique and interesting, while others are quite generic. I feel each word should have at least 5 interesting sentences so that the user can see the word in more contexts, quizzes are more difficult, and learning more active.
Having said all this negative stuff, I have to say that this is one of the few apps I find myself using every day, and that's what makes it so effective. The choice of vocabulary is also generally quite good. I find myself running into these words repeatedly in the real world. I also like that there are different types of quizes.
