### 3/5 — Italien

*2026-08-17*

Erreur dans le leçon 10

**Developer response:** Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous signaler ce point sur la leçon 10 d'italien. Pour que nous puissions vérifier et corriger si nécessaire, pourriez-vous nous décrire précisément l'erreur repérée via https://feedback.assimil.app ? Votre œil attentif nous aide à améliorer le contenu, et nous reviendrons vers vous dès que possible. L'équipe Assimil

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2026-08-04*

I’m already starting to read quite a bit more than I expected already. Phenomenal app.

### 4/5 — Bonne méthode

*2026-08-02*

La méthode est bonne cependant l’application l’est un peu moins. Par exemple quand j’ai changé, le thème m’a progression a été perdue.

Il est aussi parfois assez ardu de voir quelle est la prochaine étape de la leçon en cours ! Mais avec le temps, on s’y fait. Ça pourrait quand même être plus clair !

### 5/5 — Great Product Backed by Great Support

*2026-08-01*

Great product leveraging a very good training technique (a vast improvement on language software I have used in the past). This software is clean (substance over unnecessary “frills”) and simple to use and on the very few occasions I’ve had a problem their team has responded incredibly quickly and have earned my respect.

Now I wish I could learn German as fast as these folks respond to my questions.

### 3/5 — Finally an update!!!!

*2026-07-30, version 5.3.4*

Review update 07/2026. It looks like all the major glitches and crashes are fixed, it was a long waited and necessary update, overall with each update the app become more pleasant and smoother to use, assimil promptly fix new update crash, they are working hard to deliver a beautiful product. Cons : Bring back the pinch in/out feature For the pros :  Our progress is finally saved across multi devices, we can use the app in portrait or landscape mode and we can zoom in/out from the menu even on pc, we can  use  the  pen finally, they fixed the highlight in the vocabulary section and we can finally select/copy word… What would be amazing  : more progress stats, maybe a simple widget  it helpful neurodivergents to stay consistent, the possibility to compare speech waveform in the repeat practice, show/hide translation on the whole text to have an overview, SRS/space repetitions flashcards would be nice addition. Assimil can be so much more worldwide in the language learning community…and the app is the way to go to diffuse the methods and make it more accessible

### 4/5 — All good!

*2026-07-27*

L’application s’est nettement améliorée depuis la dernière mise à jour. Concernant le problème que j’avais rencontré, j’ai finalement pu récupérer mes livres après plusieurs échanges avec le service client.

Quant à la méthode Assimil et à la qualité des livres, je les recommande sans hésiter. Cette méthode m’a permis de devenir bilingue assez facilement.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre message, et toutes nos excuses pour cette réponse qui vous parvient bien tard. Ne pas retrouver quatre cours pourtant réglés, c'est compréhensiblement exaspérant — mais soyez rassuré : ces achats n'ont jamais disparu, une licence Assimil est acquise à vie et reste rattachée à votre compte. L'application a depuis été entièrement repensée (version 5, mai 2026) : elle repose désormais sur un compte utilisateur et une fonction de restauration qui font réapparaître vos cours sur tous vos appareils. Avez-vous pu la retester depuis ? Si vos quatre livres ne réapparaissaient pas, écrivez-nous via https://feedback.assimil.app avec le mail de votre commande : nous les recréditerons directement sur votre compte.

### 5/5 — Kritik

*2026-07-27*

Es wäre schön wenn man Satzweise auch die, wiederholen könnte. Z.B. wenn man einen Satz mehrmals üben möchte und nicht die ganze Lektion. Aber trotzdem eine 5 Sterne, verdient Assimil sowieso!

### 4/5 — Good app!

*2026-07-26, version 5.2.0*

App has been updated and now works well. I have the book but the app is a better way to follow the lessons.

### 1/5 — Keine Sprachauswahl

*2026-07-23*

Leider für deutsche Muttersprachler kaum Sprachen verfügbar! Stand 07/2026 nur Französisch verfügbar.

**Developer response:** Guten Tag, tatsächlich bieten wir derzeit nur Französisch an. Das hat jedoch nichts mit der Qualität der App selbst zu tun, die die von Ihnen vergebene Bewertung sicherlich nicht verdient.

### 5/5 — Super appli

*2026-05-27*

Super pour apprendre progressivement. J’en suis à la leçon 5 en swahili. Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas plus de grammaire explicative et surtout les «  plus » ont disparus avec la dernière version ( du coup les chiffres aussi 🥲)

**Developer response:** Les points de grammaire arriveront au fil des leçons, ne vous inquiétez pas. Quant au dysfonctionnement de la rubrique "les plus", il vient d'être corrigé dans la dernière version disponible depuis aujourd'hui. Encore toutes nos excuses pour le désagrément.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.4.0 — 2026-08-27

When you first open a lesson, its dialogue is veiled: it clears line by line as you listen.
Notes now appear beneath the sentence they explain — or wait until you ask for them.
At the bottom of a section, just keep scrolling: the next one rises under your finger.
In an exercise, you see at a glance which sentences are left to do.
A lesson's vocabulary shows its translations right away.

### 5.3.5 — 2026-08-15

Your exercises are graded fairly: the grade now matches what you actually wrote, an exercise you haven't graded no longer shows a zero, and "Start over" really starts over. A note no longer covers the sentence it explains. Creating an account after a guest purchase is no longer a dead end. Your feedback, via the Help menu, guides every version.

### 5.3.4 — 2026-07-30

Your exercise answers are now safe: in some cases, marking a lesson as complete could erase the answers you had typed. Lessons no longer show an exercise they don't contain, so revision lessons appear correctly. Your feedback, via the Help menu, guides every version.

### 5.3.3 — 2026-07-29

Picking your progress back up on a new device is more reliable, even when the network is slow on first launch. Purchases that used to fail now go through. Freezes and slowdowns fixed, and a much faster start without an internet connection. Your feedback, via the Help menu, guides every version.

### 5.3.2 — 2026-07-29

This version makes the app noticeably lighter: faster to download and less space used, with nothing removed from the courses. On computers, everything can now be operated from the keyboard. Starting up without an internet connection is more reliable too. Your feedback, via the Help menu, guides every version.
