Dreadful update
Hate the latest update. It's almost unusable. Every feature I liked has been trashed. For example touching a word used to take you straight to the wiktionary entry. The "Beautiful new dictionary" which replaces that is quite capable of confidently spewing out random garbage on occasion, making it worse than useless. Deleted the app and switched to the web based version. They haven't ruined that (yet).
As requested I updated the app and replied to the developer response with a detailed description of nine or ten problems with the app. If they resolve any of them I will update my review.

Won’t permit me to re sign in
The app said that I could use it for connection issues but my phone had a strong Internet connection. I tried sign out and resigning in but it didn’t work as the app wouldn’t log me back as it stated it needed me email. I kept retyping it but it didn’t work. I still kept getting the same message regardless of what I did.

They don’t honor the 7 day trial
Multiple mistakes in Portuguese and the 7 day trial period didn’t last 7 days, it was impossible to cancel the billing after 6 days.
Wanted to like it
I wanted to like it but it was clear that they use too much AI for providing explanations for words. It’s just not reliable enough for me to invest in.
Amazing so far
So far everything is working as intended. I am starting to understand the contexts needed to write Polish and Ukrainian words.

It worked after I had tried everything else for 10 years!
I tried a bunch of other apps in order to learn Danish. They helped me learn a word at a time, but I really didn't understand anything when I heard real Danish people speaking full sentences. After 10 years of casual study and multiple trips to Denmark, I was still a beginner. I could read a bunch of Danish, but not understand spoken Danish. Then I tried Clozemaster and it just started working. I highly recommend this for people who I trying to go beyond beginner in a language. The hands-free option (paid) is extra nice because you can use it while doing chores, etc., to pick up exposure to a language without having to set aside extra time. I like to use it hands-free when I am cooking and doing dishes in the kitchen. Thank you, devs. I love this app!

Challenging
Needs some corrections
Of grammar explanations which are incorrect . Otherwise generally it’s very good

Go pro? Go pro? Go pro?
Probably a decent app if you want to go pro.
Limited daily amounts otherwise. Constantly asks you to go pro.

New favorite language app!
A reviewer compared this app very favorably to others so I reluctantly gave it a try. I have used many other apps and websites, some for years. Clozemaster is my new favorite. It's not at all what I expected from the name.
Worth it!
This is a remarkable piece of work. Very useful, well crafted. Just two things to improve. 1: voices in Russian sound non natural, very often robotic. For example, Yandex also uses voices generator, but the result sounds Russian. Whereas in Clozemaster, especially when used on a daily basis, you’re just fed up. 2: the explanations are often inconsistent, incorrect, and incomplete. I’m talking about the Russian language. A more polished version is needed for those who really want to learn deeply, not just superficially.

Response from developer
Hi Vlad, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and for the positive overall comments and rating. We've released an update just today that enhances the explanations, as some were being cut off due to a bug. Regarding voices/ TTS, this will actually depend on the collection. We’ve been using some new, improved, and more natural-sounding voices since March this year; however, sometimes the sentence will default to your device's (Russian or not) built-in voice, which results in this robotic effect. When you see this again, or if you experience it often in a collection, please reach out to hello@clozemaster.com so we can help you enhance it. We'd love to provide you a full 5/5 usage experience.
Hi
Thanks for the instructions, so nice to have a little something for those with little to offer in return, save for promoting Clozemaster loud and long amongst my colleagues and friends. Thank you.
Fantastic app - worth buying
This app has been brilliant in helping me learn. I really like how you can customise the way questions are set up, whether you get 4 choices or have to type the word, whether you do written or audio questions. Really good and far more productive than duolingo, at least in my opinion. Great work and well worth paying for the full version.
One request - a new update has caused the "Teach me/Submit" button to be just above the keyboard when typing an answer. Fine. But the issue is it will reactively change from "Teach me" to then show "Submit" when you have typed the write answer. This effectively makes it a really big hint tool, and sights right in your periphery! And I'm at a point in my learning journey where I have turned off all the hints, but I can't turn this off. Please fix and this app will be perfect again.

Language app for serious learners
No nobrainers, just straight to the point: learning a language. You must have some basic knowledge of the alphabet and sounds before starting a very different language from your native one.
Please Fix Radio Function
I have been using the radio function for months for my custom sentences, but since the last update, it only plays a few sentences, and the app completely shuts down without any reason. Please fix the bug.
helpful for vacabulary, but uses genAI and eats battery
I paid for lifetime access (about the cost of four years, at the time) and would like to see this language-learning tool quantitatively shine for its target audience (beginner to intermediate, I think).
I used it years ago and it's still kinda rough around the edges. Some multiple-choice options are obviously wrong; mistyPed or poorly-choosen, which makes me wonder to what degree a robot did the work that a human would be better at?
There are disturbing, uncanny-valley images generated by robots, and that might help with remembering definitions but at what cost? A bunch of creepy robot slop that costs a lot of electricity to make, rather than time and attention from human artists who are alive and like food and exercise, who love and experience awe?
Lastly, Clozemaster eats the battery on this iPad; why? If the questions are already made, and I seldom use the audio, and the visuals are (appreciably) basic, why does this app need so much juice? Is it generating the image, description, and/or the audio even if I don't use those features?

The best learning app
I enjoyed using this learning new languages and content .
The App Ive been looking for
Thank you for actually explaining why a word in a sentence is there and what it means to the language when translated back to English.
Great language tool
Excellent language practice.
