2024-12-11	Se*****	Why does it say "" We noticed a new sign-in to your Google Account on a Apple iPhone device. If this was you, you don’t need to do anything. If not, we’ll help you secure your account. "" When i logged in with my Redmi phone .. And when i was entering my google account, It said this browser is not secure

2024-09-02	An*****	Excellent app. One tiny peeve is there's no seamless way to go back a card when reviewing

2024-03-30	Ol*****	Quite annoying that it needs an Internet connection. Sometimes it doesn't load the full flash card when one has a connection. Should be really easy to offer an offline version of this app.

2024-03-04	An*****	So much better than using duolingo. I was very excited to learn they had an app. :) Combined with Mandarin Blueprint this has to be the best way to learn Chinese, but I've also started to use it for Spanish too!

2024-01-03	Ma*****	Love this app! Been using it with Mandarin Blueprint and it's a wonderful addition. Just one feature request: i have a bit of a different daily schedule than normal due to late work and would love to set the reset time to later than midnight. Often I'd like to review before bed, but I go to sleep much later than midnight.

2024-01-02	Gi*****	The concept is good, but the app is shockingly sluggish. I'm using it to access cards from Mandarin Blueprint - sometimes it can take multiple minutes to load a deck. Cards routinely take severs seconds to load, removing all the flow and making learning a pain!

2023-08-30	De*****	The app stopped working, and customer support isn't helpful. I was using this for the Mandarin Blueprint course, but if you don't resolve this I'll withdraw from the course.
