unusable. they tried to cram a website into an app, complete with header, bulk footer, and fake browser toolbar. there is no learning path, no quick login, you can "complete" an exercise without answering a single question. navigation with the "back" button for everything is so confusing. none of it makes any sense. the register screen does not show your password and has antiquated security requirements.

It's a very educational app that's filled with helpful lessons, but I'm endlessly frustrated with the placement tests. I've had "fill in the blank" answers marked wrong despite putting the correct answer, or if autocorrect capitalized the right answer. Some sections have you answer multiple questions, but if you get 5/6 correct, the entire section is marked as incorrect and you lose points for that part. And you can't retake the tests. Ever.

I'm afraid this app has gotten worse. The lower levels are presented in English. The intermediate levels are people speaking at full speed recorded in "realistic" situations, meaning poor sound quality. The music is louder than the voices. Once a video lesson finishes, you have to step back through several links to get the link to the next one, and then find the tiny play button on the video. Before, it was full of articles on different topics, recorded at several speeds.
