### 3/5 — Fairly basic

*2013-12-31, version 2.6.0*

Probably best used alongside another resource which teaches context and grammar. This presents you with a list of words and pronunciations but no guidance as to how they are used.

### 3/5 — Pronunciation

*2013-06-01, version 2.6.0*

Very good but I am annoyed at the German speaker's (man) pronounciation of (der) He says "deer" instead of "dehr".
I listen to other German sites and this is not correct.

### 1/5 — Wrong

*2012-08-16, version 2.3.0*

Im using this app as a double helper my german teacher taught me that os neun not die neun so i think this app is wrong in teaching you

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-07-01, version 2.3.0*

Good value.  Helps build vocabulary.

### 4/5 — Good app but needs instructions

*2012-06-22, version 2.2.0*

At first this app is confusing because there is no instruction but once you figure it out it is highly useful.

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2012-06-19, version 2.2.0*

I found this app to be very unorganized. Rather than random flash cards, I prefer for the words/lessons to be broken into categories. I like the quizzes and being able to put things aside for further study.

### 1/5 — Big glitches! Don't bother!

*2012-06-05, version 2.2.0*

This App needs help! Der April is the first & only phrase u will get. When u click the advance button, it just keeps repeating the pronunciation for Der April. I deleted this one pretty quickly!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-04-21, version 2.2.0*

Extremely basic, limited vocab

### 5/5 — German made easy

*2012-03-11, version 2.1.0*

Very well presented app 
If you want a free fun easy way to learn German then look no further 
Really great

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-02-13, version 2.1.0*

Where are the instructions? Maybe it's supposed to be intuitive but I'm struggling

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.8.0 — 2019-04-18

- Minor improvements for iOS12.
- Display optimizations for new iOS devices.

### 3.6.1 — 2017-03-08

Version 3.6.1 resolves a crash which occurs when launching the latest version on some devices after not using the application in a long time.

In version 3.6, we've introduced an entirely new sync engine which is faster, more reliable, and more energy-efficient. If you are one of our users with dozens of study sets and hundreds of hours of progress, this update is for you.

Sync backs up your data in the cloud, enables you to see your study sets and progress on more than one device, and allows AccelaStudy to be shared by multiple users on a single device. The new sync engine was over 4 years in the making and we have big plans for it in future releases.

As always, thank you for using AccelaStudy. We're honored that you include our application in your learning efforts.

### 3.5.0 — 2016-11-09

Introducing AccelaStudy 3.5, Space-Saving Edition!  AccelaStudy has always come packaged with professionally-recorded, high-quality audio files.  These files are large and take up a lot of space on the device.  While these audio files are part of what makes AccelaStudy great, not all users need or want them, and they make app updates large and slow to install.  With this release, the audio files are no longer included with the app itself and require a one-time download from the AccelaStudy Cloud.  For those who choose to use AccelaStudy without downloaded audio, AccelaStudy will use one of the great built-in voices that come with iOS.  AccelaStudy has also been updated for iOS 10 and new iPhone models.

### 3.2.0 — 2016-05-25

Performance and stability improvements.

Improved UI support for larger screens.
