### 5/5 — Follow the BEC language guide

*2024-12-15*

unofficial companion app to the BEC language learning curriculum. use that!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-03-09*

It has been so helpful in learning the language. Once learning how to set it up, and do the recordings, it’s been extremely helpful for me.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-12-15*

There is no value in it, refrain from downloading it.

### 5/5 — I’m Learning!

*2023-12-02*

This is a fantastic app. I never thought I could learn another language, especially at my age. Spanish was my worst subject in school. This tool has allowed me to learn way more in 1.5 years than 3 years of HS Spanish.

### 1/5 — No clear explanation on how use

*2023-11-10*

This app starts with you  uploading photos and and doesn’t have any clear instructions on how to start actually speaking a language.  The concept seems like it could be good.  The execution needs tremendous work

### 5/5 — Excellent language learning app

*2023-09-18*

I find this app extremely helpful in helping language learners accomplish desired learning outcomes

### 5/5 — Life Saver

*2023-02-23*

This app saves so much time when preparing language lessons and vocab sets. The prompts, the guided revision, and the integration with the textbook all take a lot of the stress out of the constant cycle of preparing lessons. 

For a small team, the app is really well featured and at the moment the update frequency is really good. There are still bugs to be fixed, but the app is really new and I'm confident that they'll be tackled soon based on the recent pile sof fixes they've pushed.

### 5/5 — GREAT app :) So thankful for it.

*2022-12-23*

I really do love this app. It has been so helpful for learning a language. It has made learning a bit more fun, especially since I can easily add funny gifs to learn verbs. It’s really customizable to what you want to learn while also adding structure for what topics you should try to learn. 

I love how easy it is to input pictures of words I want to learn. I also enjoy that when I find something interesting about the culture, I can take a quick photo within the app and ask my local friend about to tell me the name for it later. 

I really appreciate how easy it is to keep track of the various review steps I’ve completed for each new word, as well as how quick it is to mark whether my transcription has been checked/corrected. So helpful.

I also love how easy syncing across devices is. I’ve had problems/concerns syncing other apps across my iPad and my iPhone, fearing that data would be incorrectly written over. But this app does a phenomenal job of not losing my data, my recordings, my photos. 

I would highly recommend giving this app a try!

### 5/5 — Easy to use, well designed, and a time saver!

*2022-08-24*

I’m very impressed with the design and user friendly layout of the app. If you want to learn a language well, I highly recommend this app! This learner-oriented language learning app cuts your prep time down and maximizes your review time, allowing you to be more efficient while learning. Great work!
