User Reviews
It’s goes step by step to tell you what each thing means and it’s really great. They even got mini games to help you understand the language and pick the right words. It would be great if they had more free lessons besides one but they really are a great app.
This app would be perfect if it allowed me to choose whether I wanted to focus on formal address instead of informal. Instead most of the drilling is for between friends or for usage between young people. I’m going to travel and 1) no no one and 2) I’m older so most Italians will speak to me in the more polite formal address, which Pimsleur basically just mentions in passing rather than drilling. That’s disappointing.
The lessons are fun, which makes staying consistent easier. I actually look forward to doing the lesson each day. The way the lessons are structured aids retention.
The way this program has you interact and formats it’s lessons helps me understand and retain more than I could with any others. I woke up half awake in the middle of the night and thought to try and recall some words/phrases I learned and I got them with no struggle. Practice daily and revisit lessons to keep your vocabulary full and fluent
Very simple to follow, enjoy the daily activities…
This is exactly what I needed. I have tried for years to learn with Rosetta Stone with very limited success. I thought I was incapable of learning a foreign language. This method is what works best for my brain type, intelligent, logical, and creative.

i wanna learn a new language without having to spend all my money on a FREE app
I like that you have multiple ways of learning the lesson from the flash cards to repeating the sentences/phrases! It’s really been a great way to understand Spanish.
App keeps forgetting my all-access purchase and restore constantly fails. Extremely buggy and unusable. This app needs to be updated asap.
Good
After three lessons . Should be optional!
