  • Helpful but needs usability

    update: found another bug. revising to only 1 star as there has not been a single update in six months

    bugs:
    1. sometimes the back buttons after completing exercise does not work in the following screens
    2. sometimes the first card may show blank if you touch it twice to translate it back
    3. sometimes not possible to push missed it on the last card

    requests:
    1. my book "basic spanish" suggested this app, however there are no cards in it for my book. please add basic spanish

    2. it has a lot of helpful cards, but it only gives you a question and answer, does not let you interactively choose, please add choosing answer option

    3. does not pronounce for you, this is a major flaw. please add sound

    4. please indicate which exercise was done last in the long exercise list ( so I accidentally dont choose the one I just did)

    5. and last, but not the least, I cannot stand the casino play and music at end of each exercise, it is annoying as hell, how do I disable that? please remove completely!!! or at least let me disable it in a setup so I dont have to see it again.

    6. update app more often. Wrote this review several months ago and still not a single update

    7. sometimes I translate w another word than the one used. I have no idea whether I was right or wrong when I see the answer. not sure how to improve, Maybe you simply need a comments page for every card, and make the app more collaborative!

    thank you for reading!

  • Might be a great app, if you can see...

    I was really looking forward to using this app, to help me study with the Spanish vocabulary book. Unfortunately, the developers appear not to have put any effort into making this app accessible. So, for me, a Voiceover user, this app is completely useless. I hope others have better luck.

    Lest anyone think I'm being unreasonable, I happen to be a software engineer myself and Apple has made adding accessibility to mobile applications extremely simple. There are plenty of guides and resources available to any developers who care to use them. Furthermore, I don't think it's a stretch to expect an educational publisher to be aware of the issues of accessibility.

  • Good for more advanced learners

    I'm a long time fan of the Ultimate Review and Practice Makes Perfect series of language learning books. This app is the first flashcard app that I've found that contains material suitable for intermediate and advanced learners. Thanks!
