Subscription required – Rosetta Stone: Learn Languages Review

This app would be absolutely amazing if it wasn’t for the fact that it requires an additional monthly subscription just to be able to use the lessons already available on the PC-based program. I find it extremely poor (and greedy) business practice to have someone pay ~$500 for all levels of a language and then not allow them to take their lessons with them in the form of this app without having to pay even more money for the convenience. I understand the subscription comes with other live-service features besides access to the user’s lesson progress, however I have no interest in those aspects of the service and merely would like to be able to continue my language lessons when I am away from my computer. The app is great, but the subscription service drives me away from any opportunity I periodically might have to continue practicing my vocabulary.
