Cheer up it's ok
It's a wonderful app and great for starting from scratch, I picked up alot of phrases and words using it! I would reccomend it to anyone. The only problem is after the update everything became clancky and buggy, it would not show any exercises while the timer is running out. And it would not respond to anything. Please fix it, I love this app and heavily depend on it!

The motivational screens are so shady. Interrupting the flow of the app and continue ticking down the timer of the free sessions. Shameful. You need to add a setting to remove them. Plus the ads now seen to launch delayed in the middle of questions instead of before/after them and for over 15 seconds without skip functionality, which is against current play store policy. It's become an unpleasant experience using this app.

I was enjoying this app and was considering getting premium until the recent updates. Half the time the app won't even load when opening, just stays stuck on the logo screen. Then when it does open it takes ages for all the content to load, showing a blank screen. And on top of all that, it will lag and freeze mid-lesson with no way to exit the screen. These technical issues have ruined what used to be a fun learning tool. As of 8/7/22 despite their updates the bugs have not been fixed.

Since the newest update, it seems buggier like my phone is to slow to render the menu - I literally see blank spaces when scrolling, content only appearing after a second or so. Earlier updates already affected performace, as the "encouragung texts" between words make it slower and for a few updates now it's stalling for a few seconds when the time reaches zero. Like I know updating is important and it is a thing to "improve" the layout - but this made everything worse. An app I used to like

Although UI is gorgeous and makes it exciting to want to learn, it's rather unfortunate that this app has been very repetitive. I've learnt words that I'd seldom use in a real life setting. Lastly, it keeps encouraging me to subscribe every 30 seconds while browsing the app, which is really annoying. I've opted to delete my account and move on.

I wouldn't say this should be used solely on its own, since it doesn't teach grammer or sentence structure (mind you I've only used it a couple days now), BUT if used in conjunction with other lessons, it helps A LOT. Repetitive, but still enjoyable, chunks of memorization for individual words makes lessons on grammer easier to swallow so you aren't struggling with individual words. The app is clean, straightforward, and easy to use.

I love this app. I learned a lot. But after a while i would like to start also learning more verbs, or to have more opportunities to form sentences. I got a lot of vocabulary..and i'm able to understand simple conversations. But i am stuck when it's time to put words together to form a sentence. I am wondering if you guys are also capable of offer that aspect as well. I paid for the application and i'm not regret it at all. But i wish you can provide more tools..easy and clear like this. Thanks

I enjoyed it very much and was not expecting it to be an interactive experince! I really like that it is challenging and speaks in the language you are learning rather than English. The colors of the app are fun and entertaining as well as the bubbly bright mood set. Yet I hope no payements come up and I would rather be given a reward knowing I'm doing well in the course.

Too basic, I wanted this app to consolidate my knowledge of Italian. Unfortunately I have to start from the very beginning and wish that there were a way of assessing the level of knowledge. I like the way drops works in way of learning more and more vocabulary but not starting from having to learn hello yes and no a thousand times over. I want to bypass the basics but can't.

The app is well made and I was fully enjoying it until a couple of days ago, when it stopped opening. The welcoming purple screen with drawings appears, stays there for some seconds and after that the app gets closed. No errors. I tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app. Neither of these actions helped. Would be grateful if you could fix the issue. I'm ready to help if any testing/whatever else is needed from my side :)
