AI Usage

I’ve been trying really hard to find language apps that work well with me ever since Duolingo’s intense AI usage. This app from first glance seems to be pretty good, but I immediately saw the insane amount of AI art. Disappointed.

Horrible

Downloaded the app and within 15 minutes i uninstalled it. it’s completely ran by AI, not to mention one that’s bad at its job. it was trying to show me new words by using show clips, but not only were the words completely different from what was said on screen, the definitions of the words didn’t even line up. this app is a thrown together cash grab piece of junk
