It's the best Japanese language learning app, but I've had to downgrade to 1* as after all these months it's STILL broken! When you get an ad, wait for it to play out, click the 'x', most of the time you get a small blue spinner and nothing happens. You have to kill the app and try again. And again. And again.. so you're being forced to watch ads over and over. Eventually you get the larger spinner and it will work. Until fixed I'm leaving this as 1*.

UPDATE: Serves ads but course content no longer loads! Useless! Better than Duo, but over a mere week they've become so aggressive about advertising Premium at every opportunity I am no longer considering purchasing a subscription, especially considering they can't be bothered to create speech segments that actually work. It doesn't matter how simple the word or sentence, how fast or slow I speak, whether there's background noise, it just fails me every time. Also takes forever to load.

Hello Kilgore, Thank you for the detailed feedback about ads and other issues. Please try reinstalling the app or updating the app to its latest version as the problem with speech recognition was solved. Best regards. Busuu team,

I would change my review to 5 once it is fixed so the problem is whenever i'm doing a lesson in the review tab or on a different level for suppose in German i'm doing A2 Level lessons and once i finish the lesson it always goes back to the A1 Lessons although i already finished the certification of that. It is same with the Review lessons too once i finish it , it goes back to that A1 Lessons. It should stay where ever i'm and also the data loading on review screen takes a lot of time everytime.
