Used to like it

I used to like this app. Since September they have made so many changes that every update makes the UI that much less user friendly. As of the most recent update they literally undid all my progress and locked all the lessons I have already completed. Incredibly annoying, disappointing, and infuriating. I won’t be renewing my annual subscription unless they fix this mistake. You want to make changes, fine! To screw your customers by locking lessons and gate keeping is unacceptable. Now they have this stupid points system like duo lingo which is why I stopped using that app. I liked this app because I could move at my own pace, not so anymore. The only thing that is tolerable is the price but the new user interface has made the experience intolerable. Fix it and change it back if you can even undo you huge mistake!

Some short lessons

I just started and paid for a year and a couple of lessons I’ve done the second phrase cuts off at end very annoying. I hope not many are like that.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry some lessons cut off. We've just released an update with several improvements, and playback should now work much better. Please update the app and give those lessons another try. If the issue persists, let us know which lessons are affected so we can look into it.

Good,but….

Absolutely not necessary to have explicit adult content. I WAS considering this for my family but not anymore!

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for pointing this out. I’m sorry about that, I understand why it put you off using the app with your family. We're planning to add an option in Settings to hide songs with explicit lyrics. We also working on a separate app just for kids, with content picked specifically for them. Thanks again for the feedback! UPDATE: Family-friendly mode is now available in the latest version! You can turn it on in Settings to hide songs with explicit lyrics. Please update the app and give it a try. Thanks again for your feedback.

Doesn’t play

I love the idea of this app, downloaded it, but it’s just stuck on the first screen and not loading ?

Response from developer

Hi! Sorry you got stuck on the first screen, and thanks for letting us know. We've improved startup and recovery after connection problems in version 4.2.9. Please update the app and try again.

App does not work

I wanted to start to learn slowly, so I picked the learning path specifically for that and the first two segments of the app were fine and the second two never let me say the second phrase in either of them.

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this and sorry for the frustration! We've fixed this issue in the latest version. Please update the app and give it another try.

Not worth it

You can’t adjust the level and they make you pay without seeing this

Response from developer

Sorry, you're right that this should have been clearer before purchase. I'm a solo developer still figuring out the best onboarding flow, and I've now switched the app back to a 7-day free trial so people can try it first. I'm also working on better level controls.

Music is a LOVELY way to learn!

Music is a really good way to learn- I use music to teach my students with special needs and I LOVE that a language app is using music to teach a new language, too. It really helps the brain memorize new words in a way you can’t while just reading or hearing a spoken word by itself. The songs are very well-made, and I think $50 is a reasonable amount to unlock all lessons.
Some suggestions- can there be a placement quiz? I know a lot of Spanish already and would like to jump ahead to more advanced lessons to see if they are helpful. For example, does the app cover grammar like past or future tenses? Also, during quiz mode can the choices be read aloud? That way you are reinforcing learning of new vocabulary words that were presented, by modeling the correct pronunciation. As an auditory learner, this would be very helpful.
This is app is such a great idea, and I REALLY hope you offer this app in other languages too. I would especially love one in GREEK, and in JAPANESE, next!

Muchas gracias!

Response from developer

Thank you so much, really means a lot! Love that you use music with your students too. Right now we focus more on vocabulary and expressions, but teaching tenses through songs is definitely planned. Placement quiz and reading quiz choices sounds like great ideas, adding them to the roadmap! ¡Gracias! 😄
