I'm no longer able to practice for more than one heart. They also messed with multipliers running out and no more streak freezes from chests. The pop-up ads have become loud, long and intolerable. New exercises have you gambling on what the right answer is, even when there should be multiple possibilities. The free version is no longer what it once was. It's as if they're annoying you to upgrade to the paid version. I have a 3 year streak, yet with the new updates I am no longer a happy user.

It started as a great app to learn a new language for free, but it became an app with one goal: make more and more money off its users. Untill a year ago the amount of adds was okay and the app was functional without paying for it. Now every lesson is followed by 2! adds and if you make a few too many mistakes, you can't continue since you can only recharge to 2 hearts without paying, allowing at most 2 mistakes in the next lesson which will get you stuck. For free learning: look further!

positive: This app makes it very easy, accessible and fun to learn almost any language there is! negative: free version is full of long and annoying ads, on top of that you can also play a limited time and the paid service is quite expensive. would be a definite 5 stars if free version was more accessible for free users, but I get it, it's marketing and people should get paid for the effort they put in. so thank you!
