And timeless/endless mode would drastically improved the functionality of these games and also enable my 5 year old to play more games then just belly. It also awards xp/ word mastery way too quickly. I downloaded it yesterday I think I've finished 5 lessons. The words I didn't already know are definitely not master after that short time frame it gave for lessons and I've spent just as much in review mode. This is slightly made up for by the fact you can rest individual lessons in settings instead of having to reset the whole game. I wish that 'the' was displayed with each noun but when it's not it is spoken after you match. So it's at least there's that. I'm kind of upset that it give the option for multiple users and then Requires each person to pay to unlock the app :/ the other people in my house can just play in review mode. I'd buy it again but it could use a few upgrades.

Because of this I know more so it makes it a little easier to understand some of my family members that speak only German. But just today when I tried to get on it said that I couldn’t because it needed an update. Well I tried to update it but it didn’t work all because it doesn’t work on my type apple system. Now it is taking up space and is no use to me.

My issue regarding some of the games I've unlocked is how fast the games speed up. So far the easiest game to play is Belly. The water in Swell drains so fast that my kid doesn't want to play it and I find Swell more frustrating than fun for the same reason. I recently started conversation words and the time I get to spell in bird doesn't seem to increase. Bloon is okay. I use it more to keep me from panicking when there are so many balloons it becomes overwhelming, but my kid doesn't enjoy that one. I've only ever played Slide a couple of times because the game ends too fast. Today a conversation game with a parrot popped up and I enjoyed it except for the fact that it was difficult to control the up and down motion of the parrot. It would be nice if the games had better user control and maybe a way to make difficulty easier or more challenging based on individual preference in settings.

A few years back I paid the 20 or so dollars for the full set of languages to be unlocked, and it's really been worth it. As you continue on it gradually gets more challenging, but I'm currently just using the numbers level to make sure I know up to 20 at the drop of a hat for my test in German. It's super fun, and those who say that games aren't helpful are probably not enjoying themselves. The rapid recall needed to preform well in most of these games is invaluable when you're attempting to do anything at speed

I learned SO much from it and was able to have simple “conversations “ with my friends from Germany. They were SUPER impressed with how much I knew!! I also have the Spanish and French versions. I did just see that I cannot play because there is no new update available.. 😭😫. very sad as I am going to Spain in March and wanted to play.

Both Swell & Balloon should include der/die/das with the nouns. All German language learning discussions make clear Masc, Fem & Neut make no sense, only memorization works. Please include them as this app works for memorization learning. Also, slowing down the points/xp gained in the lessons would be great. I'm not great at memorization, but I am through the lessons way too fast at current xp awarding rates.

Originally I wasn't interested because this looked like a kids game. I'm in my 40's and that didn't appeal to me. But I was looking for an app that included genders for German nouns, and this one did so I tried it. Best learning app I've used. The games speed up my learning, approaches my memory from different angles, and is just fun to play. And my kids gather around and want to play to. So it works for both of us.

This app gives you several different games to play, keeping it fun and interesting and giving you lots of ways to challenge yourself. One of the best features is that it includes the article of all nouns. The nouns are drilled into your head along with their articles. My only real complaint is that on the Balloon game, some words appear almost every time while others that are just as important come up very rarely. They should be equally random. This app has really expanded my vocabulary. My only complaint is that they haven't added any new words.

This is a great and fun way to get started in a different language with minimum effort (it's fun games ).It teaches you basic words/phrases you'll hear in conversation and help you understand the grammar. It honestly helps and gives you a strong foothold in German language.

Totally worth the money. It's by far my favorite language app I own. All the games are fun and keep me playing. Update after a year and a half- Still an awesome app. Very good quality. Hindi would be an awesome add. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Only makes sense since it's like the 3rd most spoken language in the world lol
