Originally, the App had no plurals, declensions and no option to translate. Also you had to pay $1 so you could the game with your favorite words (it was random words otherwise). Now, with all the new features it is perfect for building vocabulary!

This app has helped me learn the gender of some nouns I’m unfamiliar with, but in its current form it’s a little too bare-bones to be helpful. I know the app is not meant mainly to help with vocabulary, but it would be helpful to see the English translation to jog my memory or help with words that I don’t know. Also, the words seem to lean too heavily on words that follow consistent rules in their genders, like words that end with -in or -ung and are always feminine. I can see how this app could help with learning this pattern, but once you know it, it becomes repetitive to have so many nouns with the same endings, especially in the “advanced” and “expert” difficulties, which I hoped would include words that have genders that are more difficult to predict and have to be memorized.

My favorite feature is collecting “favorites” so I can review past mistakes. I’ve definitely seen improvement in a couple months of using the app. It also exposes me to new words but I wish it had more complete translations and/or example sentences. I’d also like to see it tell me more about my progress… what’s my average score, not just my latest score? Within my favorites, how often have I gotten each word correct vs. incorrect?

This has been extremely helpful in memorizing the gender of nouns. I favorite the nouns I am learning and play the game often to instill the gender. I gave it only four stars because I would like to be able to easily see the English translation of the noun. Some words I learned last year, but do not regularly use, I have forgotten their translation. I do, however, remember their gender;)

This seems to be geared toward learners who already have a very large vocabulary, and has little use to beginner or lower-intermediate level learners. The words in question appear on the screen, but if you don’t already know what the word means, you’re left randomly guessing the article and then never knowing what the word meant! How is a student supposed to remember the article association like that? Big oversight by the app developers in my opinion, and the reason I won’t be using it anymore.

I wish it would give you the definition of the word as you practice. I imagine this app is used mostly by people learning German, so it would be helpful for when an unfamiliar word comes up.If it at least showed the definition after you guessed der/die/das, that would be really helpful.I do appreciate that this app exists at all, though! Very good for some practice.
