## Review summary

Users praise the Assimil content and learning approach, noting the material and method align with the books and can be effective. However, the iOS app is plagued by stability issues (crashes, lag, unsaved progress), access/purchase problems and poor cross-device syncing, and a confusing UI. Some updates worsen language settings or raise security warnings. While improvements over older versions are noted, overall reliability and UX need substantial work for the app to be a dependable learning companion.

### Pros

- Assimil content mirrors the book/recordings and is effective for language learning.
- The learning method is praised for its effectiveness and distinct approach compared with gamified apps (not Duolingo).
- Mobile access on iPhone/iPad is convenient and viewed as an improvement over the older Mantano app.

### Cons

- Stability and performance problems, including crashes, laggy typing exercises, and progress not saving across sessions or devices.
- Access and purchasing issues, such as difficulty logging in, downloading purchased courses, and inconsistent or slow support for issues.
- Poor UI/UX and confusing navigation with non-intuitive icons and a lack of in-app documentation.
- Updates sometimes disrupt language settings or trigger security warnings (e.g., invalid certificates).
