The biggest complaint I see people posting about is the lack of languages. The website/app is in beta and eventually more will be added. That in itself isnt worth basing your judgement on.
As a person learning French I find this app immensely helpful! Granted, I wish it taught grammar concepts/how to form sentences rather than individual words; combining this app with ones like Duolingo helps fill in the gaps.
The app also lacks the ability to view more than one previous flashcard (this is on the website as well) and it also lacks the ability to star words you want to appear more often. With that is also is lacking in a way to stop words from appearing. Yes, I know what seul and noir mean please stop showing me them!
The time feature is great! Lingvist promises that youll learn a language in 200 hours and Ill be excited to see where Im at then. It also helps if youre trying out the First 20 Hours Challenge. Seeing how much you can learn in 20 hours as thats when the majority of learning occurs.
Im at 11 hours with the app currently but have spent far more time working on French outside of Lingvist.
I dont usually write reviews but this little app deserves more credit than its getting. Would recommend it in my French Starter Kit anyday!
