### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-12-02, version 3.20180303*

I have an iPhone 7 and it keeps giving me the same error message: Create User Error Couldn’t Connect.

### 4/5 — Awesome app, but there are technical issues

*2025-08-17*

This is the best French learning app I have used. However I have had problems with the app freezing when it tries to save my progress.

### 5/5 — Solid Flashcard App

*2024-11-11*

Does what you need, and works fine if you are honest in rating yourself on how well you answer.

### 3/5 — Not that good

*2023-04-09*

This app helps a lot but I don’t recommend it. #1 it cost a lot #2 it takes forever to load #3 does not teach some things you have to know.  If you have this app I recommend a app called Duolingo that helps a lot with learning ANY language you want.

### 1/5 — Tease

*2023-03-14, version 3.20180303*

Tiny quantity of free content before requiring very expensive upgrades. Forced ti create an account. No way to delete the account.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2023-03-13, version 3.20180303*

Basically this app teaches you vocab and basic phrases but we’lvl see what comes next bc I’ve only just started

### 3/5 — Decent App but Hard to Memorize Words

*2023-01-21*

There is no writing function which would help a lot. Would be nice to see the word and then have to type out the correct answer. Then you could rate how well you knew it. Just seeing the word makes it hard to memorize and study.

### 1/5 — Old App not updated

*2022-12-20, version 3.20180303*

This app hasn't been updated in 4 years now, which is probably why I'm unable to sign in using facebook as that throws errors. Can't recommend this app without being able to sign in.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2022-12-02, version 3.20180303*

Difficult to use, no way to jump ahead to advanced levels. Waste of time

### 1/5 — Unfortunately

*2022-10-08, version 3.20180303*

1 useable section. 14 locked.
