It’s actually helping
I took Spanish I school and I learned numbers, some colors, and how to ask for the bathroom 😭. I’m now doing this so I can communicate for my trip to South America. I’ve pared it with watching some of my favorite kid movies in Spanish and yo…I’m actually RETAINING!! I have a learning disability so this is huge for me (ADHD).

Really like this app
So I recently downloaded lingopie with some reservations due to some poor reviews.
I’m going to try to be objective.
So I’m using the Apple app and I’m also using the TV based app available on Amazon fire. These two slightly different apps work together hand in glove. It’s possibly not a great idea to use just the phone app as you are dealing with video, subtitles, rewinding, looking up words and all that jazz. So if you don’t have Amazon fire/ Roku etc then your experience might be suboptimal.
Something else is that this isn’t really a ‘course’. What it is is a really terrific way to get contact with your target language as it is spoken more or less in real life.
Because of this I think that you need to be on about B1 or thereabouts to benefit properly.
All in all this app complements Duolingo ( other systems available !) as Duolingo does all the stuff that this app doesn’t and vice versa. But if you’re starting on a new language I would stick with Duolingo and add lingopie to your armoury sometime later. Most learners are only able to deal with live real life language after the basics are learned.
Anyway, I like the programmes I have seen so far. Generally lively/ funny or otherwise engaging. There’s a range of levels from beginner to advanced. And there’s a fairly cool system that records words that you look up which are then used to play flash card/ recall games.
All in all I’m pretty impressed. Never thought I could use Amazon fire stick to do anything but watch films etc.
