Good app.
Excellent for repetition, recall and memorization

Good Refresher
I've used as a refresher and to build vocabulary as having lived in the Netherlands several years (worked in an English environment) this is a great way to supplement and refresh. I've used the Czech program with good success to complement other learning tools with great success as here I get reading as well. I enjoy the application.

Good but a few bugs and flaws
My husband is from the Netherlands and as I have been using this app to learn Dutch he has been helping me and has pointed out a few translations that were off. He has corrected them for me so I learn the correct translations but someone who might be using this on their own without a Dutch husband to explain incorrect translations will be learning a few wrong things. Overall the app is great, I love the design, the ease of use and simplicity, plus lots to learn. Another thing I've noticed is the audio translation doesn't always work. One out of five times it works, otherwise I don't know what the trick is bc my phone settings are always the same so it has to be something that occasionally messes up within the app itself, not a huge deal but learning how to say the words correctly is a pretty important part and without a Dutch person helping you, you could be learning the wrong pronunciations and as my husband has stressed, pronunciation when learning Dutch is very important. This is honestly the best teaching app for Dutch that I've downloaded so far. I'm hoping that the things that are buggy will be fixed and maybe even the off translations fixed, then this app would be amazing!

Rubbish last two updates a catastrophe
Have used this app since 2 1/2 years first on iPod touch which no longer receives updates and 2 years on iPad.
Full of mistakes and too America centric. If I'm learning Dutch I want to hear Dutch voices even when speaking English. I want to see and hear things relevant to Dutch culture.
There are many stupid errors in spelling, words spoken different from word printed plus numerous other ridiculous or lazy mistakes.
I updated last week, first in a long time. All it does is crash. Deleted it and reloaded older version from my back up. Now another update. Was sceptical so avoided it. But I'm no longer getting notifications for new word. So I just tried the new update. Same crap. So now I'm done. Pity!

Please Update!!
I've been using wordpower for over a year and out of the five languages I have, this is the only one in the old format. I understand that Dutch may not be their highest priority but the audio sample sentences are what makes the other apps so great and I hope they update it soon.
