Fun but could use improvement

Critters girl

Games that are time dependent start out painful slow and then speed up to insanely fast way to quickly. There's only a short time span of optimal speed. And timeless/endless mode would drastically improved the functionality of these games and also enable my 5 year old to play more games then just belly. It also awards xp/ word mastery way too quickly. I downloaded it yesterday I think I've finished 5 lessons. The words I didn't already know are definitely not master after that short time frame it gave for lessons and I've spent just as much in review mode. This is slightly made up for by the fact you can rest individual lessons in settings instead of having to reset the whole game. I wish that 'the' was displayed with each noun but when it's not it is spoken after you match. So it's at least there's that. I'm kind of upset that it give the option for multiple users and then Requires each person to pay to unlock the app :/ the other people in my house can just play in review mode. I'd buy it again but it could use a few upgrades.


No longer upgrading

Askle

This app used to be awesome however, they are no longer upgrading it for the new iOS. So nobody new should buy it. They are also deceptive because they don't mention that on their main website. It's in a post on their blog that was hard to find. It WAS the best language learning software that was found.


Great app, but...

This app works great for learning key terms and objects, but the developer hasn’t updated it for iOS 11. I’ve had the full version for over three years now and I’ve never been disappointed, it’s sad that I have to give it a bad review. PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM... otherwise it’s 5 stars!


Please update!

How sad- obsolete and not being updated? Sad


Still fun but needs updating

I still use this after a couple of years. It's still fun and helpful...but it hasn't been updated for a few years. It would be nice if they added more lessons.


Needs update

As soon as I opened the app, It said it will slow down my iPhone and the app needs an update. Not working. Can't even login with Facebook. -.-


Great app

I'm leaning German fast and having fun while doing it. I like the way it's being presented building more vocab gradually and not focusing on grammar in the beginning "which is usually the boring part" it's cleaver, building more vocab every day


Can't add new users.

Seems a little clunky. Followed online instruction for adding new user, that doesn't work.


Language learning game

I like playing games to help reinforce learning vocabulary. The games makes it easier for my child to want to learn too. My issue regarding some of the games I've unlocked is how fast the games speed up. So far the easiest game to play is Belly. The water in Swell drains so fast that my kid doesn't want to play it and I find Swell more frustrating than fun for the same reason. I recently started conversation words and the time I get to spell in bird doesn't seem to increase. Bloon is okay. I use it more to keep me from panicking when there are so many balloons it becomes overwhelming, but my kid doesn't enjoy that one. I've only ever played Slide a couple of times because the game ends too fast. Today a conversation game with a parrot popped up and I enjoyed it except for the fact that it was difficult to control the up and down motion of the parrot. It would be nice if the games had better user control and maybe a way to make difficulty easier or more challenging based on individual preference in settings.


Great App, minor improvements requested

#1 I love this app in addition to Duolingo! I finally found out how to practice all past lessons - otherwise I might rate at 3 stars. Both Swell & Balloon should include der/die/das with the nouns. All German language learning discussions make clear Masc, Fem & Neut make no sense, only memorization works. Please include them as this app works for memorization learning. Also, slowing down the points/xp gained in the lessons would be great. I'm not great at memorization, but I am through the lessons way too fast at current xp awarding rates.
