Good content, but UI is buggy. I like the explanations of grammar and phonetics and realistic conversations. The microphone button needs to be tapped several times to work. I cannot for the life of me get voice recognition to work for single syllable words. I thought I was just terrible at Swedish vowels (despite getting it right for longer phrases), but it seems other users have this issue. I expect a more polished experience for the price.

This app is glitchy. Takes so many tries to tap the answer. Can't find my level. Was a complete waste of money to subscribe. Update - apparently, on android at least, you tap then wait then tap then wait, you can't select the words rapidly like texting. Also figured out when typing words in a sentence, you have to submit each word, I was fighting with it trying to get to the next space. Just not intuitive at all. It might be easier on beginners, maybe more is explained?

There's a lag between pressing the speak button and the app actually working to record audio. Usually it needs to be pressed twice, which is distracting and also causes the app to record short words incorrectly. It's funny sometimes, because those are the easiest and the app thinks you can't pronounce simple words like 'él' but you're just fine with 'igualmente'. Could use an update there...
