### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2011-11-13*

Overall I like the application, it's just a shame there aren't more words/lessons. It's very easy beginners level. Wish there was more, even if I had to pay a little.

### 3/5 — Audio won't work

*2009-05-04*

This app would be good but my audio won't work. Please fix this then it would be five star.

### 1/5 — Blah

*2012-03-23*

Terrible interface, very difficult to use.

Not possible to pick up and begin learning useful Dutch words/phrases. Deleted this app after 5 mins of trying to make it do something useful. Don't bother.

### 1/5 — Not so good

*2011-06-11*

I cannot begin to figure out how to use it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2011-04-24, version 1.9.0*

No structure, not enough words or challenging levels

### 1/5 — They should pay U 99 cents

*2010-07-04*

Not worth a penny or Euro!

### 1/5 — Don't bother; save your time--look elsewhere

*2009-08-02*

Don't bother. The choice of words is strange. You will not learn much Dutch from using it.

### 2/5 — Nope

*2012-03-01, version 2.1.0*

Nope, not great. Where are the essentials????  Will I really need to know how to say "pacifier" in Dutch?  What I would like to know is how to say "please" and" thank you," maybe a "yes" and a "no" would be helpful.

### 2/5 — Please fix crashing

*2011-06-20, version 2.0.0*

Doesn't even open

### 2/5 — Limited dictionary

*2010-02-21*

Missing common words on free version.

### 2/5 — learn dutch

*2009-10-04, version 0*

poor app wrong words and they are not pronounced properly like the word GREY is spelt GRAY!

### 2/5 — Words lack context

*2009-09-15*

It's fine for general vocabulary but there are no notes on use. For example, lengte does mean length but is also used to describe someones height. Hoogt (height) describes things and altitude. You'd have no idea from this or the pay version. I won't be recommending this for my bf who is trying to learn.

### 5/5 — Best app for learning Dutch!

*2013-03-03, version 2.5.0*

I've tried other apps for learning Dutch and this is the only one that I really saw results with. Until I found this app I didn't know how easy it can be to learn Dutch.  It's really encouraging and I lo e the way it helps me master nouns with their feminine or masculine form - not all other apps do that. I've already upgraded to the full version, it's that great.

### 5/5 — Dutch

*2012-10-17*

First of all I like this app because I am from the Neatherlands so this app Refreshes my memory o the good old days in my homeland.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-02-19, version 2.1.0*

I'm learning Dutch and it works AMAZING! Thanks so much!

### 5/5 — Shane

*2011-12-31*

Easy to use, easy to understand, best of any language app I've used

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2011-09-07, version 2.0.1*

This app helped me learn Dutch in minutes!after 3 minutes I could count in Dutch and say the days in Dutch!:)

### 5/5 — Excellent new feature

*2011-06-20*

That's a great new feature you guys added with auto advance,thanks a lot-this is a very powerful tool here!

### 5/5 — Pretty Good

*2009-05-02*

Hey, for free...I have no complaints. Its elementary Dutch but the options will keep a begining student busy with Flashcards, Audio and Quizes.
Very good for FREE.

### 4/5 — Bloom1600

*2012-04-13, version 2.1.0*

Great start! Gave me confidence to begin learning Dutch.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2011-01-30, version 1.9.0*

Apart from some light crashing and not enough vocabulary or phrases added, it's not bad

### 3/5 — Good for pronunciation

*2013-05-27*

The app is good for learning pronunciation of the words, but doesn't allow the user to organize the study materials as it purports. I tried to create a study set of months, numbers, and colors and got 'baby', 'diaper', and cloudy as well.
