Not very good
I regret to say that this app is not very good. It forces you to progress on their terms, not yours. For example, maybe I want to study Hungarian pronouns first. I can’t do it. I have to go through a sequence of other lessons first.
But there is a bigger problem here. Like most other language learning apps, there is little explanation of wording and grammar. For example, they tell you “Jó reggelt kívánok” means “Good morning.” Why three Hungarian words but only two English ones? It’s because kívánok means “I wish.” The app doesn’t tell you that.
The Hungarian word for “morning” is “reggel”. The -t is necessary in the phrase. Why? Again, the app doesn’t tell you that. These are things you need to know to really learn a language.
Note to the developers: A language app that gave even brief explanations would be very popular. Please consider making one.

Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that. Yes, you are right. We force you to go step by step because we think it is the right way to get better results. What you mention as a bigger problem, part of that we solved, maybe we could have done it in a better way. There is an additional explanation for kívánok that it means "I wish." It could be found in Pharases - Level 2 - "light bulb" (Tips for level). Thanks again for your feedback. We will try to improve it as much as we can. Best regards
