DW Learn German Customer Insights

1. The Play button on videos currently doesn't work, so I cannot continue learning:( I hope you'll manage to make it more stable, cause it would be a pity, if I cannot use it anymore.

2. Don't know whether it's my cellphone, lately in the exercises of the type "Ordne den ersten Teil des Dialogs" The sections cannot be viewed completely, even if I rotate the phone there are sentences which are partly or completely hidden, as if the page width hasn't been set by percentage but by a fixed pixel number.

3. another trick that has worked for me to get the videos to play is to log into the website page on my phone (I am using chrome) and to go to the episode I want that way, then it automatically flips me into the app with working videos.

4. Great content, but the UX needs work.The videos are no longer playing and the developers aren't listening.

5. hope that helps!The content is well done, good they took they music group so the lectures are realistic, fun and there is a great variety of topics.

6. PLEASE fix it.Great app to learn German, thought really well in any aspect, helps learning the language and getting to know the country.

7. The lessons depend on the videos, so if they don't play, you can't use the app to progress through the lessons.

8. A solid, challenging, and engaging app for learning German, but not nearly as good as using the website.

9. but if I try to open the app directly, the videos don't work without downloading them from the other tools menu.

10. So now, I can not use the app at all.It's a great app for learning, the stories presented in every chapter keep me interested.

11. The lessons are not necessary in the correct order by difficulty, some lessons are not much happening and some like the bayerish have more new worlds and pronunciations.
