Just what I was looking for to refresh my memory for French…basic words and easy to use at your own pace
by Cl*****, 2026-02-15

I’m enjoying the Nemo app, but would it kill the developers to put in information about how to actually operate it? For instance, there is a bar at the bottom that goes from red to blue, hot to cold. I couldn’t find any information on the app itself about what this means and how to use it. There may be more future features that I’m unaware of which is frustrating.

I was leaving a positive review for this app because I was learning phrases instead of just words. Not 2 seconds after I left the review, they blocked me from using without updating to the “PAID” version. If you don’t plan to buy, don’t bother.
