Useless

Have never come across an app that has no option to reset a password. The interface needs major updating.

Good different

A fun and different way to learn β€” in a good way.

Gas

Ts is great

Deleted before use due to terns

Read the terms and conditions in relation to payment- they can change the amount charged at any time even after a payment has been made and call it a readjustment if they made an error? We authorise them to take any amount without permission as part of terms of contract? The content looks fabulous but the contract you have to sign to get it looks like I’m handing over my purse and account with a β€˜help yourself’ note stuck on it. Such a shame they don’t want fair and transparent costs and terms in return for services.

App breaks occasionally. Limited features

Its good for learning new words but there is no way to organize word lists and do focused practices. Practice mode just throws random words. Flash card sets paired with the video would be excellent
