Truly perfect for intermediate Spanish
I love it. The word puzzles are fun, the vocab review/flash cards are so handy, learning about different Spanish-speaking communities, *and* listening to those stories from the people who wrote them?! *Aaand* a lot of the vocab is highlighted and you can click and read the definition in Spanish and English.
It’s awesome. It’s awesome! I wish I had this years ago.

Nearly perfect—especially if you’re short on time
I work 60+ hours a week but don’t want to give up on reaching full conversational fluency (and having interesting, culturally-informed things to talk about). I’m not terribly far from that goal, but my learning had reached a plateau. Unedo has reinvigorated my progress, and I can feel the difference in my comfortability woth Spanish. Also, the articles are an awesome length; I can read one quietly on a break or listen while I’m doing chores or read one aloud before bed to practice pronunciation. Cheers and gratitude to the whole development team.
After a few weeks of use though, what I notice is that I feel super overwhelmed by the sheer volume of new vocabulary in each article. I love learning new words, that’s not the problem, but the Flashcard and Library features doesn’t provide any context about how and when a word is used. For example, articles use a lot of different versions of “however/although” like sin embargo, pese a, a pesar de, si bien, etc. Since the writing team is from all over the world, I can’t tell which form is common, formal, or region-specific, and it feels paralyzing to not know which one to start using in daily life. The Library and Flash Card features are cool, but since each article is so zoomed-in to its own topic, what my education is missing is a zoomed-out contextual understanding of a word or phrase. Basically I need the SpanishDict App as a companion to this one to get a comprehensive learning experience and that’s a lot. It can become a barrier for me.
Lastly — I’m always wondering if the graphics at the top of each article are made by humans or AI. I hope humans, and if so, it would be cool to have their work credited so we can support them outside of Unedo, too.

Great app, sad to see AI being used.
As a few other reviewers have said, it’s sad to see AI being used for some of the images. This app has huge potential. I just downloaded it today and really love it. If the AI stuff is removed in the future I’d 100% pay for the subscription. App feels way more useful than something like Duolingo. Happy to see the developers replying to reviews and not just denying the AI stuff. Hopefully this app explodes in popularity and you can do updates removing the Ai.

Enjoyable
Fun games and good for extending intermediate vocabulary. Would be nice to have more control over the flash cards but maybe that’s what the ‘smart review’ feature will involve
