Excellent!!
Excellent! Needs the ability to add additional words.
Incredible tool!
I can’t believe how fast I’m learning to speak German. Was able to carry a 10-min conversation with a native speaker this weekend after using the app for only 2 months. Was I perfect with my grammar and pronunciation? Not yet, but I made myself understood and I could follow their responses (or ask for clarification) without too much trouble. Love the way the app gives me control of the pace of learning, daily stats to motivate and reflect on my process, and makes it so convenient to squeeze in a few minutes of practice throughout my busy day. My only worry is what I will do once I have mastered all 1200 words in the app.

Great resource for learning to speak German!
I think this app is best used in conjunction with an app like Duolingo, as well as a grammar book. That is if your goal is working towards fluency. It’s especially helpful that you can be listening as you drive or walk.
As a stand alone, this app could definitely help you navigate through basic conversations if you choose to visit a German speaking country.
Also, the premium version is work it for sure in my opinion.

Some recommendations
The app is okay but the price is insane!! Other than that here are recommendations for the developers:
1) Nouns should be shown with their article. For example, it should say “der Apfel” instead of “Apfel” and then a little “m” underneath it. That small change would help people memorize the article so much better and articles are everything in German.
2) Non-nouns should be shown uncapitalized. It makes it more clear that it is not a noun and is a adjective/adverb/noun/whatever and will help people more quickly process it.
3) The bottom bar that you move to show your familiarity with a certain vocab word is hard to access with newer phones, as it thinks you are trying to close the app. Make it bigger and/or move it somewhere else. Also don’t make the bar so exact; three notches of not familar, somewhat familiar, and mastered would suffice.
4. Create a more efficient mode of learning the vocab. Make one where you don’t have to do one word at a time, like a list of vocab words or something. Show a word in German that you have to type in English. Put mini-quizzes like matching words.
5. Make it free, you’ve earned enough money by now and have certainly payed off all the costs of making the app. Universalize education.
Feel free to steal my ideas I want this app to finally be worth the money I paid!!

Student
This is such a great app. I am learning basic German so quickly and the format is so accessible it is making the whole process immensely enjoyable. I highly recommend!
Could be a lot better
The audio doesn’t say der/die or das and you have to pay to get around 1200 words which is not a lot.
Worth the Money
This is an amazing supplement - key word, supplement - to formal learning. I say that specifically because of grammar. If the goal is to learn a few phrases if you’re traveling, its perfectly fine but if you are trying to learn German in-depth, you’ll need to study outside of this. However this doesn’t promote itself as a comprehensive guide and if you go in knowing that, this is perfect.
Works great if you are beginning german and trying to learn basic phrases, pronunciation, and spelling and helps build stronger foundations for more advanced study.

What I was looking for
So other German apps make me learn phases and that’s not how I learn. I want to name things, know colors, verbs, nouns and common phrases rolled up into one and I’m pretty proud of how many German words and phases I know now since sept 2nd 2020
Still trying to put sentence together though which is tough for me. If I say something in Spanish or English I also wanna say it in German which is still challenging since nobody around to help. Just me my app and Google translate. Excited to see how long it takes before I know so many words I just start talking like it’s natural.
Danke fur diese app!! Es ist wonderbar

Missing Important words
This app is a good start for people who are just starting. I like the way of the layout which makes it easy to manage, and find things. But what I noticed is that there are some basic words missing, for example aufstehen (to wake up), anmachen (turn on). Just basic words like that. Also it is very important to know the pronoun of the words in German, der, die, das (which in English means “the”). Those are crucial to learn the language. I would really like to give this app a 5⭐️ review, but it’s missing too much in my opinion.

Great for driving to and from work!
I have a very busy schedule, but this app allows me to practice my German to and from work. You just press play and the words automatically show up in English, and then a few seconds later in German. No need to take your eyes off the road!
