### 5/5 — Must have!

*2017-06-08, version 3.6.1*

I use several computer applications to study Italian and Spanish. This one is by far the most useful because it uses a variety of flash card methods. It is a wonderful addendum to other study applications. I highly recommend it.

### 3/5 — Ti amo this

*2013-04-24, version 2.6.0*

Just learned it ti amo a guy at s. is Italian to so... But he's super hot

### 1/5 — Not worth a cent!

*2012-10-06, version 2.4.0*

155 words? Seriously, now...total scam to upgrade (which upon downloading this app, itsuggests you do immediately). Not worth time it took to download. Teaches nothing. Best app is the one for .99 cents that translates words from IT to EN and vice versa. Everything in there from most vulgar words and phrases to everyday prose. Great for travel and expanding vocabulary. Spend the buck and get the one I mention here.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2012-07-29, version 2.3.0*

I downloaded this App yesterday, and am already seeing results. I have currently learned 25 words & phrases, and am planning on buying the full edition. In summary I would recommend this app to those whom are learning or just beginning in this language.

### 2/5 — 155 words

*2012-06-16, version 2.2.0*

The free Portuguese version gives you over 2000 words to study.  This free Italian one gives you ... 155.  What's up with that?  I guess if I paid, I'd get a lot more words.  I ain't paying $10 for that!  Maybe $0.99, but not $10.  Everything else about this app is great, though.

### 4/5 — Good Straight-forward App

*2012-05-29, version 2.2.0*

I like this app, it's not too difficult. Easy to use menu, clear voice overs.
Worth while downloading!

### 1/5 — Only 155 words!

*2012-03-31, version 2.1.0*

There's only 155 words!  That's it!  You only learn how to say 155 words in Italian and then it's done!  No next level.  No harder lesson.  No sentences.  Nothing!  Very very limited...

### 5/5 — John

*2012-03-24, version 2.1.0*

Very good. There are one or two mistakes in translation but it is definitely worth it. I have used the audio auto advance feature to learn lots of words

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2012-03-05, version 2.1.0*

Easy, quick, and awesome. Really easy to learn. Just needs a function to add words that r'nt already in the app 2 special catagories :)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-03-03, version 2.1.0*

This app is awesome it lets you study and quiz yourself in Italian     I think you just Need to people say the words in the app

## 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.

### 3.6.0 — 2017-02-23

### 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.
