Potential - Great Game - lots of bugs – Spanish Spy : Learn Spanish Words Review

Pros: Fun; Excellent concept and format and learning tool. I like practicing my vocabulary this way - lots of challenge and reinforcement. Cons: no home button or pause button - only way to pause is to close the app and reopen it. Gets frozen/stuck repeatedly in one game ("Verbs", in the "diffuse a bomb game" where you have 15 or 10 seconds to translate 3 verbs - over and over, I had to close the game and reopen because the buttons simply stopped working (nothing responded - not Reset, not Submit). Game has a lot of potential. The concept/story is wonderfully engaging (you are sent on a mission that is time sensitive). It forces you to learn fast. I actually like that the words are too big for the bombs on the descending nuclear bombs game, because it requires me to listen and use my ears instead of my eyes - good for internalizing the words and their meaning. Also, like that I'm able to ignore pace of the game when I need to and focus on learning the words. Super invention - great graphics. I'm definitely improving my Spanish. Hope you can fix some of the bugs I encountered. I paid for the upgrade.
