Technically works, but buggy and janky – FluentU: Learn Language Videos Review

Don’t expect any UI polish. - Images pop in and out as you scroll. - Audio will only sometimes play while the app is in the background. - Forward/backward controls put the subtitles out of sync with the audio. - Dragging the week slider has random effects on the player, including jumping you right past the quiz to the next lesson. - At the end of a video, the final subtitle is replaced with the first subtitle. - Sometimes videos play twice and I’m not sure it’s on purpose. - Tapping a word makes the whole screen jump left for no perceivable reason, then it shows the definition after a pause. - No clear instruction on what to do when a course is up for review… everything just turns orange, but only some orange buttons make it blue again. - Subtly different interaction than on the web, so switching between the two is confusing. (For example, some videos on the web are audio-only on iOS.) - Two loading spinners appear on the screen at a time sometimes. - No loading spinners have cancel buttons. - Going back one screen often resets your scroll position so you lose your place. - Etc. But hey, it hasn’t crashed yet, and it gets the job done.
