### 4/5 — Good, useful, but..

*2019-09-17*

The I have had the free version for a while. Bought a new IPad and the word library transferred without any issues which is great. The app shows and says the words as well as allows to record how I say the words and compare. 
However, below words are sentences, which sometimes don’t match, such that the word, is not the one in the sentence below it. The words in the word bank, don’t allow me to press n the speaker to hear the pronunciation or the sentences, there are some words repeated. 
If you go to a lesson you can hear the pronunciation, but not all the words are there. In the 1200+ words I have, there are many of the parts of the body, but in the body lesson there are far less parts. 
It says £9.99 for an upgrade, and with all these issues I won’t pay! If it was half the price I might think about it, but it really, really needs the bugs fixed!
Shame that a good idea is not invested in to make it worth it

### 4/5 — Sample Sentences

*2016-10-12*

One of my favorite features was Word of the Day with the Sample Sentences. Why was this feature removed or reduced?

### 3/5 — No daily word audio

*2016-01-01, version 4.8.1*

Have been using this app for several months and advancing in learning new words until the audio stopped playing. Customer support was very helpful but in the end I had to reinstall the app and now at the beginning again repeating words already learned. Despite this problem like the app very much.

### 2/5 — Basic too limited

*2015-10-07, version 4.7*

The app might be great but the Basic just doesn't work well. Flash cards don't work as well as on other intro apps.  
Just doesn't equal other similar intro apps.

### 4/5 — Current version has a bug

*2015-06-29, version 4.6*

For some reason my word of the day has been the same for the past few weeks. Also the app locks up on opening.

### 4/5 — A word a day.

*2015-04-28, version 4.1.1*

I like this app because it not only gives you a word; it shows you how to use it in a complete sentence.

### 4/5 — Bella

*2015-04-12*

Helped me big time while travelling in Italy!

### 5/5 — Outlaws_66

*2015-03-15*

Love it very good

### 5/5 — Brain Trainer

*2015-02-07, version 4.1.1*

Thanks for the great Italian language app- it helps keep my brain sharp as I recuperate from a major medical condition. It's the best Italian language teaching app I've tried!

### 5/5 — :)

### 1/5 — Something's Wrong

*2015-11-06, version 4.8.1*

For at least the last two weeks the word of the day does not provide audio.

### 1/5 — Crashes since ios 9 update

*2015-09-25, version 4.7*

9/25/2015, app stopped working after update to ios 9 on ipad mini. Went to genius bar, reset, and restored ipad. Still doesnt work. Crashes on startup.

### 1/5 — Awesome Vocabulary Learning Tool (revised)

*2015-04-22*

(Revision based on April 2015 update)
This app used to work great. Then the update in April 2015 came. Now my daily words do not come over, even when I have a notification of a new word, the app keeps requiring additional downloads for multimedia files and it just appears glitchy. Hope the fix it soon. 

I really enjoy this app as a vocabulary building tool. I love the flashcards; and the ability to repeat daily the previously learned words helps lock them into memory. The only reason this app did not get a 5-star rating is the flashcard option for random order causes the app to crash. They tell me they are working on the fix.

### 1/5 — Disappointing!!!

*2013-09-06, version 4.1.1*

It's definitely not the best!! Wanted to give the 'no stars' it deserves but you have to rate at least one?

### 1/5 — Could be much much better

*2013-06-15*

The idea of this is to learn words but it needs a little (a lot) more imagination with the words. Basic words most people know but do we really need to be told words like: no, Berlino for Berlin, autobus, calendario, CD for CD, jogging, manager, computer, zebra, ketchup, parco, ornitorinco for platypus. The list goes on. Please let us have some words we can use and not the exact English word.

### 1/5 — Needs to have Disclosure on using your data plan

*2012-03-21, version 3.2*

i woke up this morning and there was this message on my phone to update to the full version.  Who the heck are they to use my data time without my knowledge.  I think that any company that does this SHOULD be made to put their HIDDEN feature in there information so as to give full disclosure of their product.  I have deleted this app and will NOT use any of their apps in the future, good or otherwise.

### 1/5 — Useless and worthless.

*2011-10-24*

I did everything what they say about opening a new account twice, but still I can't get in. It says that that user name and email already exists and nothing here is for free for sure.

### 1/5 — Still lame

*2011-07-23*

Downloaded during the week, only had one word on it, we were sent another word but you can't get a feel for how good the app could be. Will be deleting it.

### 1/5 — BAD upgrade-My word bank was erased!

*2011-06-13, version 3.0.1*

I have enjoyed this app and have found it efficient though quite  stingy on the words. Basically, a new word is "given" to you every day. If you forget to download it, you miss that chance. But I had been quite devoted, downloading almost every day and accruing a large list of words (200 to 300) and then I upgraded-my ENTIRE list vanished overnight. 
I love some of it's features-but erasing the word bank is a deal breaker.

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2011-06-10*

All apps from this developer seem to be riddled with problems. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere.

### 5/5 — Rating

*2017-07-10*

I always enjoy working with the app and it gives me a great advantage in the learning process. Plus I'm living in Italian (Tuscany) now and trying to communicate....Word power is a great help....maybe you have some suggestions

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-02-02*

I like this App because it's basic and not too complicated for beginners. I'm an American living in Italy for a few years and this is a great start.

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2016-11-25*

What a fun way to pick up more Italian!

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2015-06-06, version 4.5.1*

Vocab getting better with this app

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2015-05-28, version 4.5.1*

Great for developing an "ear" for spoken Italian.

### 5/5 — Endlich das richtige für mich.

*2015-05-15*

Ich habe verschiedene apps probiert und keine gefällt mir bis jetzt so gut wie diese.

Die Mischung aus einem einfachen Layout und ausgesprochenen Texte finde ich ideal.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-04-22, version 4.5.1*

Fantastic app that gives you the opportunity to work through common phrases. Love the word of the day!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2015-03-17, version 4.1.1*

Useful phrases to go with the vocabulary helps one to remember the vocabulary.
