Had to restart my phone. ### 4/5 — Awesome and free *2021-07-15* Pretty good bargain seeing you can learn pretty much everyday phrases for free ### 4/5 — Seems pretty helpful *2017-05-29* Just got this app about an hour ago, but so far it seems pretty darn helpful, and I will definitely learn from it even if it's not a ton. Nicely done 👏🏽 ### 5/5 — Very good *2017-05-23, version 3.20160929* Very good ### 5/5 — perfect *2017-04-25, version 3.20160929* love it! ### 5/5 — Exceptional bien *2017-04-17, version 3.20160929* Bien ### 4/5 — Very Helpful *2017-04-13* So far I find this app very helpful. It's designed to show you words / phrases you're less familiar with more often than the ones you already know. It also lets you decide if you're ready to move on. ### 4/5 — Shaka ba *2017-02-27, version 3.20160929* Awesome , amazing , love it !! ### 5/5 — My rating *2017-02-19, version 3.20160929* This app helped me a lot when trying to learn some easy Spanish for going away ### 5/5 — A perfect teaching app *2017-02-13* So ideal! Brushing up and learning so much new, at the perfect place! ### 5/5 — flash card method *2017-01-22, version 3.20160929* i really am having a hard time writing this review.this app is way easier to use than writing the review for it. this is my fifth or sixth time writing a review because the name i put up keeps getting taken and it doesn't tell you until you've written the review. the it erases your whole review and makes you start over instead of just making you change the name. uhg anyways the flash card method is the best. each lesson is like five to ten min and thats good for me because im so busy. (since ive spent like 20 min trying to write a review i may miss todays lesson.) its repetitive and simple. its shows you the words and pronounces them so i can see and hear what the word or phrase is. you do have to pay to continue past a point but once i get to that point i will pay gladly. great app. def recommend ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2017-01-13* Teaches you very quickly but only teaches you greetings and salutations for free! ### 5/5 — Simple & Instructive *2017-01-02* It allows for repetitive practice! I like how you can continue to study phrases until you have 100% mastery! ### 5/5 — Great app to learn Spanish *2017-01-02, version 3.20160929* Just started using this app to brush up on my Spanish in preparation for a vacation. It's perfect for learning on. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hard to navigate *2022-06-21* This app is useless, keeps bouncing me back to brain scape main page . Almost all the flash cards require a subscription and the one unit that is free I can’t get to. Just pay for one of the real language learning apps. ### 1/5 — No audio *2019-10-18* No audio even with sound adjustment. ### 1/5 — To expensive *2018-04-26* To expensive ### 1/5 — Poor taste notifications *2016-07-21, version 2.20141023* The app was okay but the notifications were disturbing!! " every day you don't study, a cute puppy dies somewhere " How horrible!! I deleted the app ### 1/5 — Offensive unfunny reminders *2015-11-11, version 2.20141023* I allowed reminder notifications & it just sent one that said every time I don't study a cute puppy dies. Seriously?! WTF?! That's not funny or motivating it's just sick and stupid. I'm really disgusted by this & stunned anyone thought that was a good idea. So what kind of morons are working at Brainscape that this was put in the app? ### 1/5 — Brainscape *2015-09-04, version 2.20141023* Why have I got to pay again for up grade please answer ### 1/5 — None of ur bussiness *2013-04-24, version 2.20121108* It was not good bery dissapointed :-( ### 2/5 — Student *2017-04-06* Only one free deck of flash cards, which was VERY basic. Must pay to unlock other decks of flash cards. I need a variety of ways to learn. The flash cards were boring. ### 2/5 — Doesn't work for me *2017-03-30* I liked what I was seeing so I bought the upgrade to unlock the remaining files. I'm headed to Spain tomorrow and wanted to use this app on the plane. Unfortunately it won't unlock the files. It alternately says the purchase was successful and that it can't reach the App Store. When I try again it says I've already purchased and it will download again. So it fails again. Might be a good app if it works. PS when I load it to the main Brainwave app, it has a 30 card per day limit on flash cards reviewed, so even though I bought the upgrade, I can't use it there either. Don't buy unless you have time to go back and forth with the help desk. ### 2/5 — Not great *2017-01-30, version 3.20160929* Downloaded because it seemed to have good reviews. Bad: you have to buy the full app for it to be of any use at all. The format is basic, I could make my own flash cards at home. Good: nothing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! This is probably the best app to learn Spanish. *2021-01-26* I LOVE THIS APP!!! I never write reviews if that says anything!!! ### 5/5 — Love *2020-04-07, version 3.20180228* All good ### 5/5 — Well thought out! *2019-07-30, version 3.20180228* I have about 5 language apps I’m using at the moment; this one is my favourite. No messing about! Fast, efficient, effective. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Learning Spanish *2019-05-25, version 3.20180228* The format is helpful. Repeats some phrases as well as using previously learned ones to help in remembering. Phrase are relevant to every day use. Only used for a short time so hoping I’m still happy the longer I use it. ### 5/5 — MD *2019-04-17, version 3.20180228* Very helpful!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-02-19* Lots of fun ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2018-07-23* I have been learning Spanish for the past 8 months, and I found this app very helpful. Especially since my community and work place is very diverse. ### 5/5 — Very accessible *2017-09-11* Love the interface and format. Easy to use and you can see your progress in real time. Excited to use every day. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2017-06-03, version 3.20160929* Love it ### 5/5 — Yes *2017-05-25, version 3.20160929* Good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
