Uses exactly the same few words, in the same order, and only allows an infinite loop. It has potential, but I think it wasn't ready to be released and much less to charge (and quite costly) for this very basic app with so much work pending.

Wants review and I've hardly used it. I like the AI-generated artwork. (Only one set) quizzes me on Spanish words and phrases, to which I response I know/I don't know. Still need to know how to CREATE flashcards. I can create but cannot add them to folders, so I can't quiz myself on the cards I create. UI is too hard to figure out and there are no instructions. Definitely not worth the full price (got for free today)!

Thanks to a heads-up by ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐๐ฑ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒโ๐ ๐ผ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ listings, after downloading I was able to immediately partake in an upgrade to Pro via a free Lifetime IAP (๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ด๐ข๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ญ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ-๐ฑ๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฆ$๐ต๐ต.๐ต๐ต).
After upgrading, I got the โEverythingโs all setโ message, and I gave it a whirl.

After adding four (maybe five) words for further flash card studying, Iโm receiving a message to โUpgrade to see the translationโ โ However โ โถ I already have already upgraded (remember the free IAP?), and โท Thereโs no option showing anywhere in the app to do (or, in my case, re-do) the upgrade.
After making your initial selections (namely your native language, the language you are trying to learn, why you are trying to learn, and your current level of knowledge regarding the language you are trying to learn), there is no way to change any of those things again.
Another annoyance is that once the on-screen keyboard appears, you cannot read / see / action anything in the bottom-most portion of the screen, because the indismissable keyboard never goes away.

Even without the above issues, I donโt like the app interface, nor itโs teaching approach.
All the app seems to do is show you a flash card session of phrases / sentences, and prompts you to tap โ๐ถ๐๐ป๐ผ๐,โ or โ๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ปโ๐.โ Either way, thereโs no feedback whatsoever, or any further teaching. At the end of the session, you are shown a score of how many โ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ๐ดโ you tapped on versus the โ๐๐ฟ๐ค๐ฃโ๐ฉ๐ด.โ
During my testing, the app made no attempt to break the phrases / sentences that you donโt know into smaller pieces, give you a dictionary definition, nor mention which words are nouns vs. verbs, adverbs, etc. Shows no synonyms, or antonyms, or anything.
The audio pronunciations of everything also left much to be desired. Itโs obvious that a low quality text to speech conversion is occurring. The voice sounds tinny, like from the 2000โs, and the enunciation is practically nil. There are no voices (or HQ voices) to choose from. There are no playback controls other than tapping the tiny speaker glyph to play it again โ most notably that the playback speed cannot be changed โ and itโs stuck on fast.
Sure you can add more flash cards, and organize them into folders, but itโs far to little for more than a flat price of US$0.99.

๐๐ฒ๐๐ โ Youโre very welcome for the free Beta testing by this Pสแด๊ฐแดssษชแดษดแดส Sแด๊ฐแดแดกแดสแด Dแดแด แดสแดแดแดส.
Please try harder. Much harder.
Change the price to a flat rate (itโs currently not worth paying more than US$0.99 for it).
๐ข๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ โ If the dev doesnโt make fixes and add much needed improvements, just avoid this app!
