### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-09-17, version 1.3.3*

I like very much! It’s s very soon to value all the app but in general I find very it useful. Would be great with the pronunciation that’s why I give 4 stars

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-12-23*

A good resource to use in conjunction with other learning materials.

### 5/5 — Vokabular und Grammatik zum Üben

*2022-02-13*

Erst spät entdeckt, aber gleich gemocht. Vokabeln und grammatische Formen sind bei multiple-choice richtig auswählen. Schön wäre noch, wenn die Vokabeln auch vorgelesen würden.

### 5/5 — Genau was ich gesucht habe

*2020-08-17, version 1.3.2*

Also einfache Übungen, um Deklinationen, Konjugieren oder Vokabular zu üben, wobei man für jedes Wort oder Verb zwischen vier Optionen die richtige wählen kann.

### 5/5 — Great for vocab and cases

*2017-08-25*

This app provides 200 levels of vocab learning with English-Russian and Russian-English practice. Syllabic stress is indicated for correct pronunciation. Other helpful settings on the app delve further into case declination. I have found it to be a useful tool for a dedicated language learner.

### 1/5 — Just a guessing game.

*2016-12-14*

There is no actual teaching, nor is there any audio pronunciation. Simply keep guessing, getting it wrong, and try to memorize it as best as you can.

Not worth it. Do not buy.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal app

*2016-10-16*

This app is separates itself from all other Russian language apps in the sense it takes the learner a many steps further from privyet and kak delo.  It teaches the leaner how to conjugate verbs and most importantly drills you on the conjugations of nouns.    I am so glad it teaches me different cases of nouns.  It is very clear that the developer knows exactly how the grammatical structure of the Russian language works, and as an experienced learner of Russian I am very happy with the technical grammatical drills.

To be honest the app needs some more work.  I would like the words and lessons to be better categorized.  Otherwise splendid work and as an advanced leaner of several languages I highly recommend if you are an intermediate or advanced learner.  
Большой спасибо!

### 5/5 — Perfection through repetition

*2015-03-03*

I have been using this app for a little bit (couple of months) and it has greatly improved my Russian. Whenever I have a free moment I can get through a few questions or an entire level. I particularly enjoy the cumulative review levels which really reinforce the vocabulary you have learned. Over all, I think this is a fantastic app that can only go up!

### 5/5 — Great Review Package

*2014-11-26*

I was a military linguist in the late 80s-early 90s and I am trying to revamp my Russian skills for use with a faith based charity and this app is perfect for my needs.  The vocabulary is arranged into ten word blocks that present words in a similar order to those learned in a basic course.  The grammar reviews are similarly arranged to allow for reviews of verb forms or grammatical cases.  Note that this app is best for those who have already studied the language.  It can be used to supplement an ongoing course or text, but it does assume a basic working knowledge of the language.
