(French) Only tried the free version so far, but... It doesn't detect short words well. "J'" and "bus" are never understood, regardless of how many times I try. Many playbacks also cut off the first or last part of the sound, just just fail to play. This is true with or without Bluetooth audio. The characters in the app are annoying, but that's a personal opinion. Good progression and addition of new vocabulary words, but a dictionary of words would be nice for review purposes.

I used to really love this app, but with each new "improvement/update" it's gotten helpful and more frustrating. I am a broke college student and can no longer pay for the subscription. Now unless I want to spend hours watching videos to get energy or spend a lot of diamonds to buy energy, they only give you enough for one round. I am seriously considering letting my 1175 day streak go and uninstall the app altogether. I will wait to see if they make any changes to fix this issue.

Excellently gamifies habitual practice, which increases my confidence speaking conversational Spanish, so it's worthwhile. Have had paid membership and free membership. Enjoyed both. There have been several times in the last several weeks where I'll be doing a lesson, and have either no options to select, or no question whatsoever to respond to. Have gotten no responses from developers about these issues when I report them, and they continue to happen. 3/5 stars for me - good when it's good.
