Really nice app helping me learning new languages easily. But some improvements need to be considered: 1- The word part is super account is too simple. Make words clickable that shows more examples with that word and other forms of it by pronouns difference (verbs). 2- The leaderboard sometimes gets to competitive and can have negative effect on learning process. Emphasis less on it. 3- Time boosters are really expensive and Jem is hard to get.

I've been using the app for several weeks to learn Spanish. It's a moderately amusing way to get exposure to basic content on a consistent basis, but once I realized the matching games they give on the side are designed to only be possible with micro transactions, it killed all of the interest I had in continuing. I don't mind ads, I don't mind them offering little doodads for money, but don't make an exercise impossible without a time boost or other purchase. It's absurd and exposes their aims.

Enjoying the excercises, i think it is effective. There are some nuances in regards to listening excercises that should be improved. When you press the word to hear it again you have to do it once or twice to hear a full annunciation. Otherwise its partial and you could pick the wrong word. Once you know that, its pretty smooth, this is a really innovative learning method. A solid 4 stars!
