Old subjunctive focused version was better
Two stars because the good subjunctive content from the old app is still buried in here. But the devs have turned the entire thing into a vibe-coded Duolingo ripoff. Submit the old version as a $10 one-time purchase and I’ll buy it.

Thank you for the honest feedback. We agreed that the letter bank should not be the only input method, so keyboard typing is now back in all Subjunctive game modes. You can now choose whichever input method you prefer. We’ve also expanded the Subjunctive content significantly. In addition to the existing present subjunctive exercises, Modo now includes Advanced Mode with past subjunctive practice and more complex sentence structures. We hope you’ll give the updated version another try.
Just downloaded this app !
Thanks intermediate learners need this kind of practice Preed
The new modo sucks
Response from developer
Thank you for sharing this so honestly, and for previously recommending Modo to others. We’re sorry the update made it feel like the subjunctive practice you valued had disappeared. We’ve continued improving the new version based on feedback like yours. Keyboard typing is now back in all Subjunctive game modes. We’ve also expanded the Subjunctive content with Advanced Mode for practicing the past subjunctive through more complex sentence structures. The goal was never to move away from the focused, progressive subjunctive practice that made Modo useful. We hope you’ll give the updated version another try.
I didn’t download this app to be playing a game
Response from developer
We’re sorry the new version initially felt like a step backwards, especially when the original Modo had been helping you learn. The new Modo is designed to make subjunctive practice more effective. Instead of following the same fixed learning path for every user, the app now adapts the exercises to your level and performance, so you can focus more on what you personally need to improve and progress faster. Based on feedback, we’ve also added more insight into your learning path and progress, so it is clearer what you are practicing and why. Keyboard typing is now back in all Subjunctive game modes, and Advanced Mode adds dedicated past subjunctive practice with more complex sentences. We believe the updated Modo now offers a stronger and more personalized subjunctive learning experience, and we hope you’ll give the latest version another try.
Updated review to match updated app
Response from developer
Thank you for the honest feedback. I’m really sorry the update felt like such a step back after you had been making progress in the earlier subjunctive-focused version. I completely understand how frustrating it must feel to lose the visible map and the sense of progress you had built up. If the old structure was helping you learn, then seeing that change so much can easily feel like the part of Modo you valued most has disappeared. The subjunctive is still a core part of Modo, but the way it is taught has changed. The new Modo uses adaptive practice that adjusts over time based on your answers, mistakes, and learning patterns, rather than following one fixed map for everyone. I’m sorry we disappointed you with this update. I hope you’ll consider giving the new Modo another chance as we continue improving it, because users like you are exactly who we built it for. - James
