The main issue I have so far, and I’ve only done the first lessons, is that they have a lot of questions with the same answers twice. For example on the flash cards it states “Feliz” and selection A and E are both “Happy”. I select option A, Happy, and it says it’s wrong but I select the E, Happy, and it’s right, that is annoying.

I’m grateful to have this app, to go along with several McGraw-Hill books I’ve purchased. However, even after a few days of use, there are certain glaring irritations then I’m hoping we’ll be addressed in the next update: If somebody is studying language they shouldn’t have to run a gauntlet through six different languages and umpteen books, and X chapters every single freaking time they open up the app. The app needs a little bit of intelligence to remember where I was last time I used it and it should just take me there! That is my only real complaint at the moment. This is really irritating, and if someone at McGraw-Hill thinks that they are selling more books by shoving their books in peoples faces unnecessarily they are severely mistaken and maybe need a check up from the neck up? Again, I am grateful for this app. Please work on making me experience little bit more smooth. If you make the experience and books great, most of the “advertising” will take care of itself. It probably isn’t one person in 1000 who is interested in learning six languages at the same time. So please don’t put German, French, etc., etc., etc., etc. in front of the one language I’m trying to get to.

I like the library of books that is up there and I find the quizzes to be helpful in practicing the different lessons. My issue with the app is that sometimes the answer choices will not show up for some of the quizzes. If that was taken care of, I could add a star. Aside from that it’s just not the most interactive or fun app to use but it’s functional (when the quiz choices are there)
