But in order to use the app you need to touch every phrase and you can’t do anything focused like working or doing sport. It’s very urgent and needed that they add an auto play feature for each category and for favourite too. Please add it as it would make very easy to listen with hands free. ### 4/5 — Great for some basics *2020-07-16* This is pretty great for some of the basic words and phrases, especially if you’re going to travel. It has been coinciding with my Russian language class so I’ve been using it to study, but it definitely has its limitations. Regarding the flashcards (favorites), I really wish you had the ability to swipe them away when you get them correct or put them back into the rotation if you don’t. Instead you have to go through the whole stack and start over. You don’t get much repetition that way unless your pile is small. I don’t want to keep going in and selecting favorites because it takes time. A great review tool for learning, just wish it had more options. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2020-06-05, version 4.0* This is a great, straight forward app. Good use of categories and good range of vocab. ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2020-05-04, version 4.0* Súper bien para aprender ruso ☺️ ### 5/5 — GOOD language app *2020-02-20, version 4.0* Very helpful and intuitive and understands how a beginner can best learn a language. And fast! LOVE THIS APP above all others except for PIMSLEUR. ### 5/5 — Spaceeba!!! *2020-01-10, version 4.0* I am learning a phrase or two a day! My new girlfriend and Love is from Ukraine! And now we share our two languages! ### 5/5 — Very good app *2020-01-08, version 4.0* A lot of good content, fully translated with a narrator ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2019-11-10, version 4.0* This is a really great app and it has helped me a lot with my Russian. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-07-20, version 4.0* Отлично ### 5/5 — Excellent for tourists & brushing up *2019-07-12, version 4.0* I first started using the free version then upgraded later. Great app for on-the-go phrase learning. I like the organization by topic. The search function is very useful too. ### 5/5 — Atleechna *2019-03-25, version 4.0* Absolutely the best app out there to learn basic Russian phrases. This app has made me want to try leaning Russian as a second language. I also met a Russian here in Canada and was told that my accent was so spot on they thought I actually spoke the language when greeting them, from phrases I had leaned from this app. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2019-02-07, version 4.0* This app has been very useful and logically presented. ### 5/5 — Good app for beginner. *2019-01-17, version 4.0* Good and fun app for this beginner getting his feet wet with Russian. The slow down function on the pronunciation is very helpful. ### 5/5 — THE BEST APP I FOUND! *2018-12-28* I never write reviews, but i need to thank the creators of the app and website, this has the best pronunciation, interface, most importantly its user friendly. All the words have the translations and transliteration (how the words sound but using english letters)! For example “Да я понимаю”(yes, I understand)( Da- Ya-pa-nee-má-yu) this is EXTREMELY HELPFUL PEOPLE, if you want to learn Russian, GET THIS APP NOW! Any language requires multiple resources, this is perfect to add on my agenda ### 5/5 — Learning a lot *2018-12-23, version 4.0* I am satisfied with this app, so far I can recall phases, number, and alphabet. I want see a grammar/ sentence building for conversion version of this app. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good *2018-11-04* I've been learning Russian for the past 3 years. One major reason is that I work in an all Russian company. So I hear it all the time. But now it's great not to have to ask my friends how to say this, or how do I write this. This app shows me easily! But can you please add more Friend phrases? Like I am with my friend, friend, or Who is your friend? Greatly appreciate it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Exceptional App *2018-10-17, version 4.0* This app is a great learning tool. The Flashcards are exceptional. I use them every time I have a spare moment. The only suggestion I could make is that it be made possible to add basic words to the flashcards that are not on the app such as fast or slow other than that I give it 5 stars ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2014-05-17, version 3.2* Got suckered into paying $4.00. It has no depth in its words and is lacking a lot. I had to download other apps while in Russia after I paid for this one. ### 1/5 — Dr *2012-07-14, version 2.60* Poor ! Whenever one seeks a word one is referred to yet another linguistic app to purchase!! ### 1/5 — Awful *2011-12-06, version 2.50* Very poor, simplistic, and one has to pay for additional words! ### 1/5 — Flawed *2010-07-27, version 0* App will never be updated with extra words, any extra words will always be paid extra for. It be much better if app was higher in price than keep paying for extras, like all other apps. Still waiting for a male voice, no doubt will be a paid extra and not an update! If I knew all this I would if never bought it. ### 2/5 — Meh *2018-03-20, version 4.0* Phonetics good to help pronounce the words , but it’s all wrong when it comes to the actual letters... ### 2/5 — Don't buy the additional packs *2011-10-09, version 2.50* The free version is good. It provides useful phrases for all sort of situations and ideas. I bought the additional packs based on this convenience and usefulness. That was a mistake! Unlike the free version, the packs are merely short lists of words in various categories, not additional phrases... I feel it is misleading and a rip off. ### 2/5 — Yes, flawed *2011-01-18, version 2.3* The pronounciation is incorrect. People who know of the voiced/voiceless rules will know this. You'll have to figure out for yourself how to pronounce them correctly. To the developers: Please fix this rather than delete my review again or I will complain. I'm being VERY polite here. 2 stars because it has a wide variety and is usefull once I figure out the correct pronounciations for myself. ### 3/5 — More wordy *2022-12-16, version 4.3* You have to out more work on this app. Add some extra words in there. ### 3/5 — Full version a bit lite *2012-01-12, version 2.50* I bought this after being impressed with the free lite version. Was more than a little disappointed to find even after purchasing the "full" version that you need to pay for the additional phrase packs. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-01-19, version 4.3* I love it, I learned fast too !!! ### 5/5 — Very good! *2021-12-31, version 4.0* Loving it, I’ll give it 5 stars when I see more content added. Would like to see some military terms added ### 5/5 — Mb *2021-12-03, version 4.0* I have found this to be very straightforward and simple to use. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-06-26, version 4.0* I love the app and for only four dollars, it's a good way to learn Russian phrases and study! ### 5/5 — Great resource! *2021-05-31* This app has been a useful companion with my (very) novice Russian language studies. I started with the alphabet and through frequent use in tandem with listening and speaking exercises, I’ve made encouraging progress. If you’re willing to put in the study work, this app will be everything you need to get started as a beginner. Very grateful to have it. ### 5/5 — I youuu use I UUIDs *2021-04-21, version 4.0* J ### 5/5 — Grate app *2020-12-12, version 4.0* This app is grate for grasping the vocabulary of the Russian language individual words ... however this app doesn’t help you with sentences or conversations that you may have so this can be quite frustrating when putting worded together. ### 5/5 — Very informative *2020-08-26, version 4.0* Practical education of foreign language. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-07-27* I just now discovered that, while I can listen to a phrase spoken more or less normally by tapping it, I can have it spoken slowly by pressing and holding. This is fantastic, and very helpful to me. And the pronunciations I’ve used so far are very clear and, as far as I can tell, accurate. I think I’m going to be relying on this high-quality app more in the near future. ### 5/5 — If you like a bit of Russian this one’s for you *2020-06-27, version 4.0* Submit --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
