the content itself is pretty great ! ive been absorbing lessons well unlike with other apps i have tried in the past. however, the app is VERY, VERY excessive about pushing premium onto free users. i understand y'all gotta make money somehow, and i would not mind it if it were every so often, but it is legitimately before and after every. single. lesson. also, sometimes, i will have lessons crash mid-exercise, and i have to start them over from the top. i do still enjoy this app lots, though !

Let me start off by saying, thank you for this app, it's helping way more than duilingo ever has. As someone who is a beginner in studying other languages, specifically Italian, I frequently review earlier lessons. Everytime I complete a lesson, the page refreshes right back to my "current lessons" and have to scroll so far up just to get back to the earlier lessons I am learning. It would be convenient if there was a better way to access my lessons, either a scroll bar or categorized section

I really like this app, but it has a couple of major drawbacks. I'm constantly losing my streak despite daily app use. I guess the clock resets after 24 hours, which means you have to complete your lessons earlier & earlier in order to keep your streak. It's demotivating. Also, the progress bar in each lesson isn't indicative of how close you are to the lesson's end. In my last lesson, I had to complete 3 different segments (3 progress bars) before actually finishing. Makes time management hard.
