Horrible app. I got it as a refresher, and there are a lot of flaws. First, it directly translates English to German. If you say "I'm sorry" the way the app does, germans will think whatever happened acctually makes you sad. Also, Germans don't say "Ich mag ___" (I like ___) they say "___ glaubt mich" (___ pleases me). Last, it is just random vocabulary, that you don't know how to use. "Ich adfahren gestern" is not how you would say I arrived yesterday, it is "Ich bin gestern abgefahren," but since there is no actual teaching in this app, nobody would know that. I've only taken a year of German and I saw this in 5 minutes.

I got this app about 3 hours ago so I could start learning some basic phrases for an upcoming trip to Germany and it is useless. I couldn't find basic phrases that were truly basic. "Hello", "Goodbye", "Please" and "Thank you" are all missing, and I didn't even bother looking for other phrases I'd like to know. I'm deleting it as soon as I post this review.

I really like how this app has helped me learn, especially via the "write in" method! Some thoughts: 1. The write in method should not accept non-umlaut characters when the word is spelled with them. For example, the app considers "fur" as a correct answer, when "für" is actually correct. 2. The chime played for correct answers is always at maximum volume. 3. I must learn specific German words for my courses. If this app allowed me to create/upload your own flashcard data, i would gladly pay twice the price of the Vocab & Phrases apps!
