1. I wholeheartedly recommend this app for people who are complete beginners or advanced beginners because it teaches you pronunciation tips (which is invaluable) , but if you're advanced, then it is likely just going to be an app where you review vocabulary.Great app so far! I haven't used every functionality yet, but the basic review and card-making process works great.
2. With this app, I have just reached fluency level 2, Limited Working Profiency after about 54 hours of work!!!!!! The app isn't perfect, the searches for words embedded in sentences often give images for other words in the sentence and some word searches don't work at all.
3. When making cards using the "grammar" tab, the suggested pictures often pertain to the whole sentence, not to the individual word that I'm making a card for (with the exception of the original word from the word list).
4. So I've had multiple times when I've been staring intently at my phone to memorize something, then the screen starts to go to sleep because I haven't touched it, so I tap somewhere to keep it awake, which triggers an unintended swipe or selection of something.
5. Guys you cannot charge me for every day of a month where I don't have access to what I paid for this is really frustrating early into trying to build a daily practice.Much better than making all my own flash cards in Anki, but the app has some rough edges and quality of life improvements.
6. There's no "back" button, so I tried pressing the "X" at the top to undo what I'd just done, but that completely closed the entire card-making apparatus, and deleted all the cards I had already made in the session because I was using the "grammar" tab.
7. Extremely frustrating! If there was a back button both for card-making and for card review, and the screen didn't go to sleep when the app was open, that would go a long way.
8. I know that there wouldn't be a recording of the words being spoken, but I think that's a small price to pay for the flexibility in language learning it would provide.
9. Having the word I spelled next to the answer and preferably highlighted differences would be helpful, especially for users with dislexia.
10. Often slows to being unresponsive, and internet access is patchy even when other apps are using it without trouble.
11. Also, decide whether you want people to swipe, or to tap a button on card reviews.
