Solid and worthwhile
This is one of the few apps I’ve found that focuses specifically on the Spanish subjunctive. If you’re trying to move beyond basic Spanish and get more comfortable using the subjunctive, it’s a helpful tool.
The app does a good job training you to recognize patterns. Although with fairly minimal explanations, you start to pick things up through repetition. It’s also more useful than the standard explanations Spanish learners usually get about when to use the subjunctive. For this alone, the app is worthwhile.
I do have a couple recommendations that I hope the developer would consider.
Even when your answer is clearly correct, a small typing error may still be marked wrong. It would help to allow for more leeway with minor misspellings or give you a chance to confirm your answer.
The app prefers that you write full sentences rather than just the verb form. I understand why it is set up that way, but typing on phones are frustrating and introduce errors that consequently end up affecting your score and moving to the next level.
The timed quizzes also feel unnecessarily stressful. A bit more flexibility with timing would improve the experience.
It would also be helpful to have the option to turn off vosotros forms, especially for those focusing on Latin American Spanish.
Also, I personally would like a full, iPad version.
Overall, it’s a solid app with a clear purpose and real value, especially for intermediate learners working on the subjunctive. With a few refinements, it could be even more effective.

Nice but could improve
App is good for practicing Spanish subjunctive just wished it explained topics more throughly and included audio. Also for people trying to learn Latin American Spanish, please add a way to remove vosotros.
Great for learning subjunctive
This is a great app for memorizing and practicing when to use the subjunctive in Spanish.
This helped!
This app helped me practice the subjunctive in a new and more efficient manner. I am learning the patterns and flow of the subjunctive in a way other quizzes and drills have not accomplished. I paid for the full version and am content with the value.
Three suggestions:
1. The box where you write your answer isn’t large enough to see the whole sentence you type. I often get dinged for typos because I can’t proofread my whole answer. Please expand the box.
2. The email address for support bounced my message. Is there a different email address?
3. I’d like to be able to turn off the vosotros options.

Very helpful
This app has been super helpful in working on the subjunctive. I find the 5 seconds for the unit test questions to be too short and highly stressful, but I love the rest of the app.
Simple and effective!
I really enjoy this app, the repetition is helping to engrain the rules of subjunctive vs indicative in my brain :)

Completely unusable with ads
Cannot exit out of any ads, have to completely close app. If they decide to do an ad before the lesson, there’s no way you can do the lesson, because the ad wont close and if you force restart it, it will just do the exact same thing.
The best explanations for subjunctive I’ve ever seen
Over 12 years of learning Spanish both in and out of school, I’ve probably been taught about the subjunctive mood at least 4-5 times. Conjugating it is easy, but understanding WHEN to use it is something I have never fully grasped. This app has the clearest explanations for when and why to use subjunctive that I’ve ever seen, and I actually feel like am LEARNING how to use it for the first time. The interface is clear and easy to use, and the lessons are broken up into perfect chunks to learn and build mastery over time. I appreciate that it’s not so gamified that it feels childish (like another well-known language learning app…) For advanced speakers who struggle with the nuances of subjunctive vs. indicative, this is the perfect way to learn!
