Massively overpriced subscription
You can get the same style of subtitled French content for free on Youtube.
Macht viel Spaß
Perfekt wenn man eine Sprache lernen möchte indem man Leuten beim alltäglichen sprechen zuhört. Die Spiele machen mir viel Spaß und ich lerne gerne damit. Einige Videos sind etwas schwierig zu verstehen ohne Grundkenntnisse aber es gibt verschiedene Schwierigkeitsstufen.
Great Work On the App Design
Quit this application I subscribe to the monthly so I’m really on and off this sometimes I find it really useful and sometimes I find it not that useful but I have to say that using it on the iPad is incredibly intuitive and it’s easy for me to go back-and-forth and Luke different sections.I’m really surprised how much I like using it on the iPad great work whoever designed the controls being able to tap back-and-forth it’s really great.

This app needs all learner’s attention!
The teaching “idea” and realization is amazing, i would also add the option of “memory cards” for those words I’d like to practice more. The only thing is that it’s a bit expensive and there is now “one time purchase” option, cause for me, it would be easier to pay once and use forever, but except that it’s a really great app if which almost replace you a real language immersion, good job!

App freezes
There’s a point where the app freezes and won’t let me finish the vocabulary review. Not acceptable in a paid app! Otherwise I really like it.
Lacks Basic Functionality, Poor UI
The UI is incredibly clunky and poorly designed. Each video lacks 50% of the controls provided in the web interface. Just use the online version; it works fine on mobile.
No update for iPhone XS Max yet☹️

Best app, best methods for language learning
This app is exceptionally good. The combination of the short videos and word quizzes is perfect. The videos are interesting and available at many different levels. If you’re traveling, you can download the videos to watch offline. I would give them 10 stars if I could!
Good bit lacks mNy features
Would like to sort out my videos based on Beginner and then from Least difficult.
Fun during down time
Intuitive learning system that is enjoyable during down time.
10x Improved
Took years and years, but they finally updated the app! We’re no longer stuck in the past. I love the new design! So much cleaner. I do agree with one other reviewer... When they film the videos, they need to tell these people to slow down. It can sometimes be so fast, that you get frustrated, and eventually cancel your subscription. Why do the french always feel they need to rush through their sentences?

Trash
If you are a student downloading this, DON'T unless your french teacher forces you to. It will make you worse at French.
If you are a teacher wanting to try something new, DON'T. It will not help your students, the people in the videos speak way to fast to understand and learn.

Liking this App
Small bites of French, with learning games and many different levels. Perhaps not for a total beginner, but to take you to the next level I find it very good. Had a slight problem with App at first, but contact with the support team had it sorted out very quickly
BRILLIANT!
Entertaining and effective way of expanding your language skills - without any effort!
Not easy to download all videos.(both ios version) Video size too small(ipad version)
iphone-version:
can not download videos directly, but have to click inside the video to check if it is downloadable or to download it. It's really not user-friendly, and can you consider add a "download all" button to each category(like bookmarked) to both ios apps(ipad version and iphone version)?
ipad-version:
video is too small, not even reach left and right edge, please fix this. And in offline-mode, can you also add a button to hide the white area(the area used to search words)

Excellent App!
My Mom recommended this app, and I think she was onto something. I can now watch videos and learn about subjects I really enjoy learning about in the language I want. This is an excellent app for anyone at any level from advanced to intermediate.
Good for learning new languages!
I downloaded for reminding my French, which works out really well, I can practice my listening through watching different topic videos with or without subtitles, as long as you have patient then this app will help u a lot!
Great for a portable version
As has been pointed out, the PC web version has more features, as is almost always the case. I have been using this app for several weeks and have not had any problems using it on my iPad mini. It has the normal speed player, loop and pause and game features. As a language geek, I have used Yabla for years and find this app is a great adjunct to it.

Needs more features
The web version of Yabla has more features -- notably a list of user identified vocabulary drawn from each video by the user and retained for later use by the user. This vocabulary feature supports/reinforces each video experience so that the experience lasts into future exchanges with similar events/places/people. The app should be expanded to perform like the web version. Otherwise a very good app.

Tabla
Spoken dialog not always in sync with the written dialog. Also, voices sound hollow during "slow" play. Otherwise, a great learning tool.
