This app is honestly really good I’ve tried to learn German before on Duolingo but I have never had the drive to do it. But this app makes me want to learn German everyday cause it’s way better at teaching beginners especially with the two sided cards and the voice thing where you can record yourself then hear them back. And the thing where you can hear them pronounce the words slowly so you can get down the accent perfectly. I really love this app I’ve learned more German words in the week I’ve had this app than I did in the 5 months I used Duolingo. Duo is good for some but personally I learn better visually and with hearing stuff. But that’s just me I would definitely recommend for anyone trying to learn German.

The app is okay but the price is insane!! Other than that here are recommendations for the developers:
1) Nouns should be shown with their article. For example, it should say “der Apfel” instead of “Apfel” and then a little “m” underneath it. That small change would help people memorize the article so much better and articles are everything in German.

2) Non-nouns should be shown uncapitalized. It makes it more clear that it is not a noun and is a adjective/adverb/noun/whatever and will help people more quickly process it.

3) The bottom bar that you move to show your familiarity with a certain vocab word is hard to access with newer phones, as it thinks you are trying to close the app. Make it bigger and/or move it somewhere else. Also don’t make the bar so exact; three notches of not familar, somewhat familiar, and mastered would suffice.

4. Create a more efficient mode of learning the vocab. Make one where you don’t have to do one word at a time, like a list of vocab words or something. Show a word in German that you have to type in English. Put mini-quizzes like matching words.

5. Make it free, you’ve earned enough money by now and have certainly payed off all the costs of making the app. Universalize education.

Feel free to steal my ideas I want this app to finally be worth the money I paid!!

I can’t believe how fast I’m learning to speak German. Was able to carry a 10-min conversation with a native speaker this weekend after using the app for only 2 months. Was I perfect with my grammar and pronunciation? Not yet, but I made myself understood and I could follow their responses (or ask for clarification) without too much trouble. Love the way the app gives me control of the pace of learning, daily stats to motivate and reflect on my process, and makes it so convenient to squeeze in a few minutes of practice throughout my busy day. My only worry is what I will do once I have mastered all 1200 words in the app.
