the interface could be a lot better of course like the other reviews say, but the material is leagues above other german learning apps so i cannot give it anything under a three-star. it has helped me more than any other method or application since i dont have access to physical german classes, this is the next best alternative. i hope the bugs, ESPECIALLY those with the 'improve entry' feature bugging out, are fixed so i can actually reccomend this app :)

I'm afraid this app has gotten worse. The lower levels are presented in English. The intermediate levels are people speaking at full speed recorded in "realistic" situations, meaning poor sound quality. The music is louder than the voices. Once a video lesson finishes, you have to step back through several links to get the link to the next one, and then find the tiny play button on the video. Before, it was full of articles on different topics, recorded at several speeds.
