weak app of you haven't learnt all noun genders by heart - you'll need a second app for the gender (der/die/das) of nouns to be able to complete any grammar exercise as the app doesn't consider this useful information when teaching grammar (not even in grammar summaries!?). easy to use interface, some bugs. app does not allow you to tailor the order in which you learn things either, and limits the amount of grammar summaries you can see. basic books are superior to this app. friendly app though.

Great content, OK app. The option to purchase lifetime access, reduced gamification, and grammar tips in lesson are all great. The podcasts are also helpful, but the player doesn't track your progress well and stops playing if you go to another part of the app. Transcripts are great, but not integrated into the app. For now I'll just use a podcast app to listen. The app is sometimes laggy when loading lessons even with auto-download enabled. Looking forward to improvements.

There is currently no way to simply learn vocabulary again. They only give you certain words. I want to be able to learn all words I already know again. As soon as the app says: "you should know this!" I can't use a word for repeated learning anymore. That possibility is there in the browser, why not in the app? Also the browser function does not let you shuffle words, it always gives you the same words in the same order.
