Ratings and Reviews
Better way to learn language
This app has a great approach to learning language. The short articles are a great way to get immersed in the language and the ability to highlight words in the articles and see their definition is SO helpful. I’m used to having to open another translation app when reading which has been inconvenient.
2 things I would love to see in future iterations:
1. Being able to more fluidly switch between languages. Right now, if I want to switch from French articles to Spanish articles, I have to go Settings and change my language.
2. The quiz feature is great for learning comprehension, however there have been words in the questions that I don’t know that weren’t in the article either. I would love to be able to have the highlight word feature in the quiz questions, as well. For now, I have to reference another translation app.
Ideal state for this app is to add in video entertainment and have it sectioned by language level as the articles are. Videos could be pre-existing series/movies in that language (dubbed or native). The video entertainment feature can be a tier subscription above just reading.

Best Language Learning App
I have been looking for an app that offers a large library of graded reading, and this app is perfect. I get nothing out of apps that focus on memorizing random words/sentences and grammar drills. Having the content be in the form of short stories helps so much more to acquire the language in a way I can actually use it. Please don’t ever take this app down.
I will mention: there is a UI issue I find frustrating. When I click on a level (like A1) and choose a story, when I get done and click back, the app takes me back to the Home Screen instead of where I was before. This means I have to click on A1 again, Hide Learned again, and scroll back down, which is annoying.

Almost perfect - 4.5 stars
I haven’t used a lot of language apps but I’ve tried a few and this one has been terrific. The short paragraphs really allow me to understand them without losing the overall picture. The option to select words to be learned later is great. The ability to have the app read either a sentence or the entire para is wonderful. If I was to have a suggestion I’d like the app to be able to pronounce the word as found in the sentence. Sure, you can highlight the word and have it read but if it’s a verb, for example, it will read the verb in the infinitive rather than as found in the sentence. Not a big gripe but it would help with pronunciation in context. Otherwise, so far, I’ve found this app to be flawless and I can’t wait to use it each evening.
