Finally one of the ads stuck and will not close, so I had to remove it. ### 2/5 — Would give more stars if there was less adds. *2024-08-20* The app is a great little pocket book of vacabulary, definitely there’s a lot of vocabulary here. HOWEVER… there are 30seccinds of ads to do any of the exercises/games. Each of the vocab chapters has a set of exercises/learming games. At least two of the games I. Each set also don’t work, there’s glitches in this way they operate, so are non functional. As it’s free, I don’t mind this, because it’s free, so I can’t complain about it being really basic. This would be a great little free app as an accompaniment to another Russian language course, but on its own the amount of adds really let it down. There are 6-30 seconds of adds before you can play any of the games. It does my head in. I’m probably going to delete this app because of all the adds. It makes it impossible to use,it’s a waste of time to sit through the adds. I do give it 2 stars, because of how annoying the adds are, but I do really appreciate the time it took someone to create this app, there’s a lot of vocabulary, and, it’s free, after all. Спасиба! 😄 ### 1/5 — Too many Adds. *2024-07-29* Doesn’t let you do anything without showing adds. Then once you do an exercise a picture add will stay stuck on the screen that takes up half your screen. ### 2/5 — Why? *2024-06-23* I pay for the app to remove ads and I keep having them !!!! ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2023-09-08* Almost non-functional because of the frequent ads. Just getting started into the app, there aren’t really numbers located under the numbers icon. I didn’t even try to go any further in this app because it was such a waste of time. Looks like most of the ratings were probably put here by people trying to promote the app. ### 1/5 — I hate all the ads *2022-05-08* Too many ads get in the way of an otherwise decent learning tool. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-05-25* Could not even start on lesson 1 because it would play an ad every time I opened it without letting me proceed. ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-04-25* I’m trying to start a lesson and it keeps giving me ads ### 1/5 — Not Accurate *2026-03-27* Even in the beginning lesson, there was a lot of misinformative translations. BTW, lamp does not mean "лес" in Russian, that's a forest. So sad. ### 1/5 — Only ads *2026-03-23* I can’t get to the lessons with all the ads. ### 1/5 — Whenever u click something it’s literally an Ad *2026-02-01* Whenever u click something it’s literally an Ad ### 1/5 — Adds *2025-11-30* Adds over done ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-11-13* The app made it very hard to learn and didn’t check if you even mastered the words ### 1/5 — 🙂 *2025-02-22, version 4.3* This application is an accurate representation of what one receives in a costless transaction… nothing. This joint is wack. ### 1/5 — Paid for ad removal, still get ads *2025-01-18* I paid USD$7 for the ad removal and a huge loud ad still shows up at startup. The app says ads are removed but nope. Restarting app doesn’t help, upgrading app doesn’t help. ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-11-25* Wooo when then say ads they mean ads. This is as bad as it gets. Learning how to pronounce the alphabet HA! That’s a joke. I clicked on the “sound button” it pronounces every letter double. Because you know it shows upper and lower case letters. Next fun one, G it’s sound like it does in the works Go. EXCEPT the audio makes it sound like the word Jeep or how we would actually say the letter G. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super App *2025-09-21* I am very happy with this app. It has the alphabet learning which many of the apps do not. ### 5/5 — Very Good but Needs New Voices *2025-03-21* For a paid app I would like a better selection of voices. I do not hear very well(military) in certain octaves and with the voice available it is sometimes hard to make out what they are saying correctly. I do appreciate that you can change the pitch & speed of the ai voice but sometimes this is not enough. If there is an update with more voice options, it would be a 5 star app! ### 5/5 — You’ve Inspired me To change my Life *2024-05-27* Russia is such an excellent country with lots of discipline and discernment. You are all rich in the spirit and I can tell because Ultimately that Is what I need. I can’t wait to visit one day! ### 5/5 — Russian *2023-02-20, version 1.0* It’s Russian ### 5/5 — An amazing app *2022-08-13, version 1.0* EZ to learn Russian with this app ### 4/5 — Good, but needs improvement *2025-02-22* Has so many good materials for learning. But the Ai voice is really bad at showing the sounds properly. If they can fix that, this would really be a great app for learning Russian ### 3/5 — Eh *2026-04-03, version 5.5* Idk if it actually teaches me anything ### 3/5 — Unsure still *2025-08-18* I really haven’t had the chance to see much as it’s a paid app, Or I have to watch ads I am still confused will update when I use the app for a bit longer ### 3/5 — Close but needs work *2025-04-21* Maybe better for those with more experience in the Russian language. Can be confusing for younger learners or anyone completely new to the language. AI voice cannot determine “zh” sound and instead pronounces each letter individually as “z”, “h”. Capital and small letters are pronounced one right after another, so “B b” had my young learner pronouncing a single “B” as “Ve-ve” instead of just “Ve”. ### 2/5 — Some was incorrect *2026-06-01* When I was looking at the lesson it showed me an example of kite but it translated to book in Russian --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
