Vocabulary not representative of native speakers

I got this app to improve my Spanish vocabulary as I am married to a Spanish speaker. Within the first 15 minutes the app had me learn “cabro” for goat. It just so happens that one of our jokes is to call each other goats. So I used cabro in conversation and my wife had no idea what I was talking about (in fact, cabro is slang for queer). Native speakers never use cabro, the masculine form of cabra, to describe goats. I’ve asked several native speakers and they’ve never even heard the word cabro. Always cabra.
I feel like it’s important to get these details right, especially for new learners of the language. Otherwise, we are set off the wrong path from the beginning. Imagine we are in conversation and start using words that native speakers have no clue what we are saying.

Hey 1900 player, Thank you for letting us know that there are wrong words. We have done some scans and corrected them (of course the “cabro” corrected too!) Besides, we have added new categories and words along with sample sentence for each words. Thanks again for your kind support and we hope you continue using the app. Cheers! Warmest Regards, DL.

Ok

Has good vocabulary but doesn’t give the masculine or feminine of the noun. It also glitches and turns off on the practice section every time. You have to say how long until you want to practice the word and when you choose the app quits, every single time!

Needs noun gender

This app is exactly what I was looking for. Simple interface with thousands of vocab but it doesn’t contain the gender of the words.

Hi, Thanks for your review. The gender will be released in the upcoming version. Warmest Regards.

No gender for the nouns????

The app is pretty but doesn't have a way to test/tell the app the words you already know. I'm also not sure how you can "teach" spanish nouns without teaching which gender they take, it's basically useless for actually practicing spanish.

Hi, Thanks for your review. The gender will be released in the upcoming version. Regarding the words that you already know, there are 2 ways to tell the app: - If you learn from the home screen, just press “skip” for those words. - You could also learn from your favorite list. Only add the words that you want to learn to that list, navigate to the favorite tab and start learning. I hope that helps!

Spanish

Graphics are beautiful and I’m enjoying it so far.

Very neat app, great for learning new words and memorizing them. I would love to buy the full version, however everytime I attempt to, the app crashes.

Many thanks for your kind words and the rating. Regarding the crash, would you mind removing the app and reinstalling it to make sure you use the latest version? Please don’t hesitate to contact us if it keeps happening, cheers!!

Nice interface

It is a great way to learn vocabulary. The images and audio of native speaker pronuciation are helpful.

Overall good and useful

The gamification of vocabulary building is helpful.
The animations during exercises could be faster.

Dear K9264, Thank you! We’ve extended the game time, and we’ll also speed up the animations as you suggested. Thanks again! Warmest regards, DL

Love love love

As an intermediate Spanish learner, I love this app. It’s helping me fill in the gaps where I missed with stuffing myself after college and high school. I just wish I could maybe do the learning games longer or not timed, but with “lives” instead. Is there a way to do that? Thanks for such a great app otherwise!!!

Dear Brirrrri, Thanks for the kind words - we’re really happy to hear you’re enjoying the app. I also appreciate your suggestion to use “Lives” instead of a time limit. In the latest update, we’ve extended the game time for now, but we’ll add the “Lives” option soon. Thanks again! Warmest Regards, DL.
