Pimsleur Course Manager App

This may be okay for some. But if learning Korean, forget it. I have been studying Korean for about three months. I think the app may work for other languages. But for Korean, it uses honorifics on everything it teaches. If you go to Korea, you would sound like a total idiot. Trust me Not good for Korean at all.

Good method for learning, terrible app. Slow to respond, and often doesn't respond at all. Had problems pausing the lessons consistently on both iPhone and Android.

Opened app to get my free lesson. Went thru all the BS to download the free lesson. Went back to the app to open my free lesson and was informed I needed a code to open my free lesson. Where's the damned code?

This app and the method work great! The update lists intro lessons for each language but there seems to be no way to get to them. Is this a missing feature?

It was great until this last update. I can no longer listen to lessen with the screen off,making the app basically useless. The lessens are excellent though.

Crashes when Android screen sleeps. The app was updated, but the new version still crashes whenever the screen sleeps. ???

Content of Pimsleur is very strong. But this app is really awful. Constantly freezing...have to restart. Slow to respond. Slow to load. Pimsleur should buy a clue about what customers in 2016 really want. Yes the process works if you stick with it. BUT people want visual learning too. So it would behoove Pimsleur to invest in both the visual aspect as well as the app!

The initial volume of the recordings is nut loud enough for the program to be used while commuting and the best time to focus on the course is while you're passing time on the bus, train or plane. This must change immediately! I max out the volume on my phone and can just barely hear the audio when I'm commuting so gave up trying to listen then. Also, the app needs to be redesigned. The control bar l be fixed at the bottom rather than floating. The control buttons should also be bigger.

Love the app, been using Pimsleur since they had cassettes. Volume is a little low compared to other apps but everything else is good. Great for learning a language while driving or sitting at home and writing the words in a notebook!

App works fine for me. I use it with bluetooth headset so volume isn't an issue. I like that the reading material is integrated with the app. I have an LG G3 with latest android version -- Marshmallow.

Used it to learn Pashto (a language from Afghanistan) and currently learning Spanish. Last week my dentist said I spoke Spanish with no accent!

This is a great language-learning system. I used it for Spanish several years ago, and now I'm using it for French. The app works great. Regarding volume, I simply max the volume on my phone, and that has yielded volume to spare on my Bluetooth devices.

I wish you had an option to download the lessons to the sim card instead of the internal memory, nearly a gig taken up for lessons.

Excellent app... You can download and use it on your cell phone tablet PC etc. Great way to keep your language studies in order.

It wouldn't let me login to facebook to use it

Good

Since i've downloaded the courses I am enjoying it.

I've seen lots of post about not having an account . . . Pimsleur app is free, the courses are not. You have to go on the website & buy your course, then you will have an account. . . . Anyways, pimsleur is way better than Rosetta Stone & a lot of other language apps. 5 stars.

Nice course but the app crashes over time not really a problem for me but trying to use the tiny scroll to go back and forth is bad should be bigger with pop or something.

It's not loud enough when playing through a car stereo. The splash screen lasts way too long, very annoying.

I have my car stereo and phone turned all the way up just to hear it when it's quiet. If if there is any other background noise it is very difficult to listen to.

Definitely helped me to get started in the German language.

The app hangs very easily. Pausing may cause it to hang. Or, touching the progress dot, or the backward or forward icons. I'm usually walking briskly while using it and I must stop to end and restart the app. I wish I could rip the files and use something else to listen. And that's important - the lessons are excellent! Fix the app!! I've use Pimsleur for 4 levels of Spanish, French, and now Japanese.

How to sign up ?????

The courses are excellent. However the app might be the most horrible one I have tried to date... Would be 5 stars if the app wasn't horrible slow and unresponsive. (galaxy s4) Edit: Has been improved but still not worth 5 stars.

The worst I had tried before, can't log in using my Facebook account always show error

Unable to create an account... Using my own Facebook account! Waste of time.

So as far as using Pimsleur for learning, I'm currently working my way through Brazilian Portuguese, and it's absolutely great! And I'm giving it 5 stars for this reason! If you're considering it for learning, I really do not think you'll be disappointed as I really love the entire approach and method to learning! Just get it, they'll 'polish the bugs in time I'm sure!' But the app itself definitely needs some TLC, upgrades and work! It's a bit unstable and seems to crash at least once during study. (Unless it's also from the Operating System on my Nextbook, I'm not sure!) But the other reviews were right, it takes too long to load for an app, and this is a bit inconvenient because I like to switch out to google translate and have it spell the words I'm learning as well. I've been having to use two devices, my Nextbook for the app, and my phone for google translate. But this is less than ideal operating. Also, I really do not like apps that are 'one sided', to where when you lay down your device on it's side the screen stays oriented to the vertical layout, meaning it's sideways! This is inconvenient because my Nextbook is made to stand itself up in 'landscape' and not portrait!

Very slow to load, must consume a lot of memory for android to kill it as often as it does. Overall does a simple task very badly.

Always repeat long boring sentence end with "All right reserved" after each lesson

How to create acc people?

I love this app for my work commute or for running, but it is so quiet you can barely hear it if a car passes you while running. Wish there was a was I could make it at least as loud as my music.

It didn't work. Fifteen minutes of my life wasted.

Nice course but the app crashes over time not really a problem for me but trying to use the tiny scroll to go back and forth is bad should be bigger with pop or something.

Logged in on my facebook. It recognized my name and then said it didn't recognize the account and sent me back to the log in screen. If I can't log in and use it it's of no use.

Giving one star because each time I try to download a file, it says I do not have enough space when I have 3 gbs available of internal storage and a brand new 32 GB Sim card, what gives?

Whenever I try to type in my password, it never lets me type the full thing so I can't get in.

Nexis 4 running Android 5.1.1. The new version (installed Sept. 28, 2015) crashes every minute or so! Bring the old version back and never break something that works!!!
