NOT FOR IRISH

I do not recommend for Irish Language - This app is very good in its concept and design BUT there are too many errors in the answers and it is an extremely repetitious program which might lead beginners learning improperly- also if you are already an high level beginner or lower intermediate learner, you cannot jump to your present level and you are stuck endlessly repeating the same word- I’ve been using 3 days and I have possible had to pick or write “ól” (to drink) one hundred times - try it for free but I don’t recommend purchase until they debug this app of the errors -

Response from developer

Thanks for writing this out. I think there are three different things here. The ól loop is real. It is a core verb that sits in several early units and then comes back in review, so three days can feel like the same card forever. On jumping ahead: there is a short placement at the start. If it still dumped you on the beginner path, that is on us. Email info@blas.app with the Apple ID you use, and I will move you forward. On wrong answers: I do not want anyone drilling mistakes. If you can send one or two examples (a screenshot is perfect), I will correct them. Happy to refund if you paid. All of our language content is from open source resources, so I would heavily vouch for its accuracy.

forced free trial

the app automatically puts you on a premium free trial without letting you explore the standard version AT ALL. i do not want a free trial, as all this will do is get me used to features that will be taken away after a week.

Very great

This app is exactly what I was looking for to learn the Celtic languages. The new dictation feature is amazing - now I can speak into any app and it turns it into Irish text. It’s like taking a practice speaking lesson

Review

This has been really good for me in trying to reconnect with my roots and learn Gaeilge. I like the way it is structured on everything but my main problem is the Pronunciation part. No matter how perfectly I will mimic the pronunciation, it never picks it up and just comes up with ‘A’ ‘A’ or a word not even remotely like that I am speaking. That could do with improving.

Aside from that, keep doing what you are doing it is a good app with great potential

Thanks for the response! Yeah the pronunciation part is quite experimental and so is optional for users, we're working on getting a much better version of this in the future!

Audio Issue and difficulty

I am not hearing any audio phrases when being drilled on listening, though the app itself is making little accomplishment noises, so it isn’t muted. I chose to learn Cornish, and since I have some Welsh under my belt it is easier to guess answers, but the interface is clunky for finding the “lesson” portion (rather than the drills) to start as a pure beginner. I had to use a reply from these reviews to even realize where to start. Morre hand-holding is needed for learning the app’s interface. It also begs too much to start a “premium” plan, and the grammar explanations touted appear to be locked behind this paywall. It is not intuitive nor easy to use for a pure beginner. I am working on Celtic languages specifically, I had high hopes that aren’t yet satisfied by Blas.

Response from developer

The Cornish and Manx courses are free to use as they have no audio. This is because they are very low-resource and don't have a computer voice for them; we are changing this by getting human voice recordings for these languages, but this is a slow process. The app lets you know this when first starting, but perhaps I should add it elsewhere too. I am not sure exactly what you mean by "where to start". The first lesson (and all the rest) are on the first screen, at the top, on the homepage of the app. I think that some more content can be added to help bolster beginners.
