Nice app

Really good

Good free app!

No ads, lets you practice without the internet. After trying this I got the full version since it works so well. Спасибо!

Time waster.

Useless app, 132 words only a dozen or so you'll actually require.

Wow

This app is impressive, and I have to say the spaced repetition feature is FANTASTIC. I haven't yet found a faster way to memorize words. :) It's well worth trying and (as long as you understand Russian lettering) I promise you won't be disappointed. Now excuse me while I go ahead and buy the full version! :D

AcellaStudy

Very good for learning enough to get by. Learning the Russian, the Turkish in the same series really helped. It's very helpful for the pronunciation and associating words with the alphabet.

Really bad

Seems that the good reviews probably written by the developer....or sympathetic friends.
The app is badly designed...shouldn't have been released until the problems worked out

Horrible

Absolutely horrible.

Not a serious study aid

I think this would only be interesting to someone who has done a bit of study already and would like to check his/her basic vocabulary against the dictionary in this app - and even for that purpose, i would recommend looking for a different app.This app is really just a collection of words each with a single translation, an audio for pronunciation and a few options that are more or less variations on the flash card approach. They are not grouped into topics (e.g. Ordering in a restaurant, at the airport, meeting someone, asking for directions) and they are not arranged into lessons of increasing difficulty. There are no examples of how they are used, they are given only in the nominative case, the letter ё is written only as е, and more. If the paid-for version removes all of these limitations then the free app does a bad job of encouraging you to upgrade because there are no hints of a better tool in this version. The marketing blurb says "award-winning": I seriously doubt any awards were given to this actual app.

It's okay

It is a good app but could use grammar lessons and emotion/describing words

Eh.

I would suggest not getting this app, it could be a lot better. This is in the words of university student.

Great App!

This goes well while watching tv, or lying around. Great compliment to Rosetta Stone and best app I've found so far.
Would of given it, 5 stars if you could add learning packs to it.

Great App

I love this app! I'm starting out with Russian and this is helping me a lot! Great app!

Nice program, easy to use

Well thought out study course with several learning options.

no good for me

no tomany word

Ditto

Just downloaded this; a screen saying AccelaStudy appears for a few seconds then it goes right back to my iPhone screen! App won't open. Good thing this was free. How about fixing it so it actually runs?

Last update

It won't work since the last update. I had really liked this too and the built in translator was helpful. Please fix the bugs. Giving it a three because it used to work beautifully.
