Spanish! App Reviews

36 add

Good app but lots of room for improvement.

The app itself is descent but I need better options on what words Im reviewing. Like have the words you enter in as another catagory other than just nouns verbs adverbs and ajuctives. I would like to be able to focus on just my current vocab that I customize, not just all the words all the time. Also, when entering in customized words, a auto search feature would be nice so if the word is already in the data base you dont have to type it all in. Good concept, decent app, poor insite as far as individual users.

Way great for .99

Theres a lot I like about this app. Right off thw bat, for the .99 you get a hell of deal. Basically, a stack of spanish flashcards with audio included. I didnt have to do a thing to get going. You hit the practice button, and its ready to go. A lot of the flashcard programs make it too complicated. This one is simple and to the point. I use it for about 10 minutes at a time max. But everytime I go back to it, I definitely can tell I know more and more words by the score I get. Great deal for the price.

Not worth it for free.

Gave up using this app. It has obscure words that I dont even know in English. Then I found that on a few occassions it gave me definitions for Spanish words that were incorrect; my wife who speaks Spanish picked this up and then I checked a Spanish-English dictionary to confirm her opinion.

Great potential, needs a little modification.

The interface is great. What would make this a great App is if the had a category "Practice your words" Where you can add words that you put in and choose words that are already in the program. I am a beginner and I cant imagine learning 1,100 words all at the same time. as well as many of the words I never use in english let alone spanish. If you can pick out of the 1100 words what you want to practice and then practice them, that would be great. One other thing. If you add a word, it would be nice to be able to add voice to the flash card. Great potential needs a little tweaking to make it a great program

So much potential

This app has so much potential, but as it is right now, it is useless. Please break up the massive amount of vocabulary into manageable sets rather than having them in one pool.

Dont waste your money - the good reviews are probably seeded

This product is useless. You CANNOT navigate - which means you cannot search for a word to learn. You cannot go to a word by its leading alphabet. This appl groups Spanish words by categories such as Noun, Verb. So if you pick Noun it throws out Spanish nouns for you to learn. And it does not remember well where you have been if you switch category. Bottomline - you "learn" whatever word this appl throws at you. That does not cut it for me.

A Best Buy!

Thank you for an excellent application! Im now at a point where I need to hear more as I learn more. I appreciate the fact it is available as a stand alone app and can be used with my iPod Touch any where.

Good bang for the buck!

I love how often Ive used this app. If I stopped using it today, I would have totally gotten my moneys worth. Its so addictive I just grab it whenever Im bored and BAM! Learning words! The simple format is very attractive to me because there was little to nothing to get used to; just launch app and learn Spanish!! Ive done some beginner Spanish so this is helping me expand my vocabulary in a fun way. Thanks for a great app!! PS: Id be tickled pink if there were a couple small books or articles based off these words. For me, thats always the next step when brushing up on a language, but its hard to find content.

Great job! Very helpful app!

While it would be nice to have sub-categories of words (by topic) to practice instead of all nouns or verbs, etc., whats really great is how it focuses on words youre having trouble with and brings in new words gradually and lightly revisits words youve got the hang of. Fantastic! So much better than a random draw from a stack of flash cards. And of course you get the spoken pronunciation to boot. Well done!

A nice idea buuut...

There is a lot of trash in this app, a lot of words that Ive never heard of in english. Who uses "pacifistically" or "factionally" anyway? Its so impractical because you go through a lot of useless stuff before you get to the useful everyday words that could really speed up learning. Cut out the fancy-shmancy words and just go with practicality.

Bad

Piece of junk.

buy it now

this has got to be the best vocab-building spanish app there is. its 1000 words now and they got rid of some of the more difficult words. if you want to build you vocabulary fast, this is probably the best way to do it. this is the best purchase i made for my ipod

Bad

It tells you the wrong words and says them wrong. It said pen was something else and abril was said wrong.

Great app from a great developer :)

Really pleased. Most useful app I have. Most negative scores arent using the app right.. Sounds like theyre stuck in "Quiz" mode and dont know it.

Not good for beginning Spanish

I learn best by using flashcards so I downloaded this app. I like how you can add your own words (only reason I may keep it) but their words are way over the top for new Spanish learners. Loiter? Lubricate? Who learns these when starting out?? Porn stars I guess...

$0.99 cent gone

Really dont waste your money or time. Try to put in word and app freezes. Audio is horrible.
