I've used the app for around 6 days and I've enjoyed using it. At first I gave 5 stars, with the only criticism being that the time between exercises was too long. Sadly, I've realized that the speaking feature for pronunciation is sometimes very bad. I thought I was pronouncing it wrong, but then my partner, who is Turkish mother tongue tried and it was still wrong. I was pretty shocked. So until this feature is fixed it's 2 stars for me, as pronunciation is very important.

I like this app better than Duolingo. There's zero gamification or extortion, just solid lessons in a good format. I will probably subscribe to the app. HOWEVER. There is an issue with the speaking exercises, especially with monosyllabic words (many languages), it doesn't register them. Based on numerous posts on reddit, this issue has been around and unfixed for years. It's frustrating, as speaking is a large part of practicing a language. So I'm giving the app 3 stars for stressing me out.

There's a privacy policy on the section about being recorded when I speak, and for whatever reason when I go to read it, "something's wrong" message comes up and I'm unable to read it. Everything's updated. Everything else works on the app except that part, no error messages anywhere else. I NEED TO READ THAT POLICY BEFORE AGREEING TO MY VOICE BEING RECORDED AND STORED ON YOUR PLATFORM. THANK YOU!
