Threw things at me too quickly and randomly became too hard for me. I end up having to retake the lessons a bunch or not even trying until the end-of-unit review. Ads (usually unskippable) occur every 2 seconds and happen more often as you advance. I get you need profit, but it's boring and repetitive. The only thing I like is, unlike Duolingo, it teaches more practical things to learn as a beginner. For example: common phrases, questions, greetings, goodbyes, etc.

For the first couple of weeks, this was great! It explained things that Duo didn't. But now it's skipping ahead and quizzing me on things I have no way of knowing. (Example: it just taught me new words in hiragana, but the quiz uses entirely kanji.) I've used the "report issue" button numerous times, but there's simply no way to advance. (Re: developer response: there's nothing more to tell. If I was taught the word in hiragana, that doesn't help me guess the kanji.)

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
