A great app for beginners
I'll recommend this for my German students. The biggest problem with the app is that words that are not nouns are written with a capital letter, eg, Sehr. This can be confusing for a learner when trying to distinguish between the various parts of speech because German nouns always begin with a capital letter. Otherwise, it's a great app.

GroΓartig!
This app is extremely useful. It sends you a notification everyday to learn just a handful of words. It never feels overwhelming. The pronunciation is solid. The pacing is perfect. The topics are relevant. Glad I picked up this app. Go ahead and pay for the full version. You won't be sorry.
Guter Ausgangspunkt. Viel GlΓΌck!

Good App
I'm not in Germany yet so that is why I couldn't give this app 5 stars. I feel that it has been helping me to learn helpful words and phrases that I would use while I'm over there.
This is going to be my 6th trip over there and I have already learned more German from this app than in all of my previous visits. I'll update my review when I return and see how much I actually retain and can use conversationally.

Why doesn't this have more buzz?
Fantastic app. I love that I can control how quickly words are spoken and/or introduced. I love that you can pick subject matter to practice, or just work your way through the whole library with a little from here. A little from there. I love that I can practice hands/eyes free while I'm driving, working out, cleaning the house, etc... Excellent variety of actual useful words & phrases. At $10 for an enormous library - super adorable. Way better for actually learning to speak & comprehend while traveling in a foreign country than Duolingo, imo

So far so gΓΌt
I'm on my fourth day and the ability to listen, repeat, record yourself and compare is a great feature. Also, the ability to choose the number of new words you learn each day is helpful. App is very easy to navigate.
Great app for learning a new language
Hi, I am 30 years old and this is the first time that I've ever tried to learn another language. This app is easy to use and no ads:) and just as another reviewer said " it sticks with you!" I am actually learning a new language and it's really exciting!! It makes learning a new language fun plus I really like how clean the app is! Once I learn the free 101 German words I will definitely be purchasing the full version for the $9

Academic
I am learning German as a requirement for a doctoral program. Unlike other European languages, German is extremely difficult to pronounce or read off from a text. I found this app as God sent. It is outstanding and has a lot of very practical tools. I especially love the ability to slow down the pronunciation of the word. I downloaded it three days ago and since then my seven-year-old daughter also has been playing with it and is outpacing me! Excellent APP!

Stays on you
Reminds you each day to practice your German! The pronunciation by the recorded voice is very good. I especially like that you are able to learn a certain amount of words a day at the users discretion (I choose 8, the suggested amount if I'm not mistaken) and I am grateful the user has the option to go back to previous days "lessons". By comparison, other language apps do not have this option. If you want to learn German this is the app for you. But like anything it will take diligence and patience to truly gain from it.

What to do?
Downloaded the App today and deleted it today. I was using it and was enjoying it, but when I needed to get out of it, it continued to play over and over the first 10 words. There is no way to shut it down when finished doing the lessons. What am I doing wrong? There is no main menu to go to and select to quit. What do you do? And really no instruction on what to do for the entire program.
