Almost perfect!
There is a lot to like about this flashcard-style alphabet learning app for Georgian. Some features that elevate it above similar apps are the option to choose which letters you want to study for more tailored learning and the ability to listen to multiple words beginning with that letter, which helps to contextualize the sound and it's variance. The designer could improve an already great feature by providing the word examples in a variety of voices.
The words learning tab is really great- combining listening recognition, vocab memorization, and alphabet familiarity, and having to fully spell it yourself involves more mental engagement than regular multiple choice.
However, the way the letters keep jumping around while spelling words is very distracting and does not further learning. I wonder if it would be better to let the user use their own keyboard, or have an in app keyboard, so the user is also learning the keyboard layout of Georgian letters (something I'm struggling with a lot.) Obviously this would apply more to the full version, but at least a stable layout of the 12 available letters would be a huge step up for this app.
It's my favorite Georgian alphabet app, and I like it enough that I'm inclined to buy the full version, but the keyboard frustrations are making me hesitate.
