A few problems

Lots to like here but the Welsh audio is incomprehensible. Also, I can’t seem to skip the basic levels. I’m an advanced learner and don’t need to drill days of the week or verbs like eat, run, go, etc, though I’m stuck on them.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest review! On levels: the placement quiz used to cap out early in A2. The next update lets it place you straight into B1 or B2, so an advanced learner skips the basics. If you have already been placed too low, email info@blasapp.com with the Apple ID you use and I'll move you forward by hand; apologies for this! I am trying to strike a better balance between beginner learners and more advanced ones. On the Welsh audio: it comes from a Welsh-specific voice. It handles sentences well but garbles some single words, and we're replacing the worst of those. If you send me a word or two that sounded wrong, I'll fix them first.

Scottish Gaelic - Great!

Beginner to Scottish Gaelic and am using Blas. in conjunction with Speak Gaelic - Blas. complements learning well with questions, puzzles, and practice formats, and I especially like that you have to type out some answers rather than just choose a multiple choice answer from recognition.

Thanks for the great review!

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
