2024-11-13	kr*****	Have to update you guys on this app! First and farmost i am so aggravatingly happy that his responses to issues are so swift, not forgetting at all to mention that the app is also a treat/gem to listen to anywhere with headset/earbuds using different short stories with transcript to read at your pace! For the money you cant beat this enjoyable experience for the true learners who just want to kick back but stay in the spanish vibe/culture/espiritu! Thanks Eldon!

2023-03-28	Ke*****	This is a great way to learn spanish. The app takes a more realistic and entertaining approach to how you can learn a 2nd language. Many of the "academic" apps are boring with recycled dialog that is often copied through all software. This had me throughly entertained, and I am impressed with the creativity that went into the application. The app takes you through a multi-step process to help you read, understand, and speak spanish. I would definitely recommend 👌 5 stars 🌟.

2023-02-15	Ap*****	So far, so good. I'm only on the Basics program. However, I've noticed a few discrepancies with the dialogue and some of the underlined grammar and their corresponding explanations in the Breaking Down section. This could be confusing for some people if they don't pay attention closely to what is said and written. I would hope that someone would go through and catch these mistakes and update for future downloads.

2021-02-04	Ek*****	I love not only this app but this whole program is phenomenal. I love how this program teaches every day conversations and with so many different situations. I have never come across a program quite like this. I love it so much. It's so helpful and customer service is also great. I did have a small problem with the app but emailed them and they got back to me within a day with a solution to my problem. If he comes out with more gritty spanish episodes i will definitely buy them.

2020-07-24	T.*****	Useless. Too long to download episode. Then no graphics or text show; only audio plays UPDATE: uninstalled yesterday. Reinstalled today (24th). Works perfectly! Hence revision of 1 star to 5.

2020-07-05	Jo*****	80+ MB download. Only after you open the app are you informed you MUST sign up for an online account, and then even that interface does not work. Emailed developer who did not respond. Highly NOT RECOMMENSED.

2020-06-22	Da*****	App does not work! Complete waste of money if the download issue can't be fixed. All i get is a flashing message saying it is downloading pdf 1/4. It is a high price to to pay when the app doesn't function. And yes i know i can use a computer, but that doesn't help if I'm not near one.

2019-12-16	A *****	What a waste of time. I downloaded the app, registered and then realized there are only 3 free lessons. Unfortunately I could access any lesson as a result of being stuck in the "1/4 downloading" pop up. I haven't even had this app one night and I'm already going to delete it.

2019-11-29	A *****	Been a fan of Gritty Spanish since 2015 and I love all of then. Its hands down, the most realistic Spanish you will hear in a Spanish learning program. The app is a great companion when on the run. I typically use the webapp via the browser from a computer.... That two seconds rewind button is gold. I love the ability to play a slower version of the audios too... A+
