User Reviews

Users praise the DW Learn German app for its high-quality, free, beginner-friendly content and concise, context-based lessons. However, recurring issues include stability problems on launch and during sign-up, subtitles that don’t display correctly, persistent registration and sign-in failures, a poor UX with ads, and the sense that the app is largely a web wrapper without offline features.

Pros

High-quality learning content (videos and explanations)
Free access to all materials (no paywalls)
Beginner-friendly and great for starting German
Short, bite-sized lessons for vocabulary and grammar
Context-based learning approach (learns via context, not direct translation)

Cons

Frequent crashes on startup and during sign-up/login (e.g., Application Error 500, blank screen)
Subtitle/caption display problems (visibility, truncation, and placement) across devices
Registration and birthdate validation issues prevent signing up or signing in
Poor UX and intrusive ads degrade usability (cookie notices and ad clutter)
Feels like a web-wrapper with few native app features (no offline access, limited offline progress, no glossary)

This app is cr*p! (Oh look, ich habe gerade ein Gedicht geschrieben…oder zumindest ein Reim.)

It seems they’ve fixed the bugs people were experiencing, the app works fine! Everything I’ve seen so far is completely free thankfully! I would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to learn German!
