Rocket Languages for Android
My interactive audio lesson is not recording as completed. Update: The interactive audio needs to allow variations on responses that are correct. You have to memorize the exchange, making the exercise rote and unnatural. I'd like to respond spontaneously, but correctly. Is that possible? I hate this part of the exercise at least leave the English so I have to translate not rote memorize.
Great program on a laptop, very limited on a mobile device. They finally have put a voice recorder on this app, after 5 to 6 attempts at clicking on it it will record your voice, it is very glitchy but if you keep refreshing the app it will eventually go thru. Its nice to have the recorder but it will take you quite a bit longer to get thru a lesson. Just use the laptop, pretty frustrating.
Love Rocket Languages courses! However, I have had to go back to using Google Chrome browser as the app is now unusable since updating! What a shame. Header text/title is cut off for each page. Header bar & sub-header bar jumps up & down the entire length of screen and shakes when scrolling. Bottom of all pages also cut off so can't access all tbe content... audio/transcripts etc. at bottom of each page. A lot of problems.
App is on the slow side. Too much "online". Would rather have the option to download the audio and lessons to my phone (and if too large, do it module by module). I find the audio lessons often just stop mid lesson, or the tests often seem to bug and I have to restart. Happens most every time that I dedicate an hour to complete a segment. Feels like the longer you learn in 1 session, the worse the performance becomes. Love the general concept of learning, but app has a long way to go, and too much online reliance. Paid around 200 € for this, so a bit in the sore side.
It's not working. I forgot my old account's password. And since the "forgot my password" link unfortunately does not work too, i tried to make another account but it won't let me choose courses. Im out of options. Help
Always freezes. Very slow. Desktop experience is far superior than this app.
Kept on freezing when using my headset
Wonderful app New view in learning french ,wow
Really good. Obrigado.
Excellent!
Can be a little slow to navigate, but it's a great app. Lots of content to satisfy many, although I wish there were more to the Brazilian Portuguese course
Offers nearly full functionality like the website and works well. Sometimes it can be a little slow to take recordings (probably working out what is being said) good layout and easy to use. Makes learning while relaxing easier :)
I really like this app.. it's well done and useful! but every time I press the mike button for recording, the app auto kill
Far, far from a finished product. Great idea, but, but it's trying to do too much and not succeeding well at anything. The interface is clumsy, the audio is poor sometimes and often it fails to recognise anything
Flashcards don't work. They just flip the same card endlessly with no ability to go to the next; swiping just gets stuck. Also, I can't always get to the testing portion of the lesson. Super borked.
Speech recognition function crashes the app. After every tapping microphone icon the app stops immediately.
If you are using a custom Rom make sure you install the main Google app for speech recognition.
Keeps shutting off in the middle of testing! Paid for this course and makes it hard to get through it
Please add ability to download lessons to device for offline learning and practice.
As soon as I can afford it, and buy it, and try it in full, I'll increase the rating. ;)
¡Muy Bien!
The material is good and well thought out and explained. However this app is dreadful; it wrecks your battery life, crashes frequently, it's clunky to use, it doesn't all fit on the screen properly. Shame as the website is very good
I guess for now I will be using my computer, which sucks because the draw of this program was it's portability. I'll update my review after the constant crashing ceases.
I bought this program nearly 7 years ago to learn how to speak spanish with my husband's Colombian family. After just 6 months of using this program for 1-3 hours a day (listened in car and reviewed the lessons at home), I was able to have full spanish conversations and was even asked if I was from Argentina by several people! Now 6 years later, I want to refresh my memory and use it to teach my daughter, so I picked up where I left off and got right back into the program with no issues! #BestMoneySpent
I like it, but I'm trying to get the full version, and it keeps giving me an error. Please fix!
Audio turns off when i set my phone down after 2 minutes the audio stops. Please fix this Samsung galaxy note 5 UPDATE ITS FIXED but there isnt many free lessons they are wanting me to pay for 95 percent of lessons so 3 stars untill more free stuff available
**Update: 5 stars for the new interface and recording ability!** Love it! So simple and easy to use - I think I like it better than than the computer version :) 4 stars because I can't record my own voice and Rocket Record is sometimes slow to load.
Keep hanging up on starting. Need to clear data, and then have to key in login details all over again.
Just as good as the website but much more convenient to use on my tablet! Audio is excellent. Thanks for all the improvements over the past year.
I like the language program overall with the use of an audio course and interactive speaking. The old Android app was very clunky and almost was very difficult to navigate and use.. but I love this update. It closely mirrors the website functions, works great and looks very sleek. Great update.
I just bought the latest version. I find it poorly organized and it has hidden costs. For example, you basically need something called a Survivor's Kit, and it was difficult for me to even find out how to get it. Apparently it costs extra, but even if it doesn't, It was hard to find the right information. I suddenly found myself being asked questions I had to have read the Kit to know. In addition, I thought I had paid for an entire course, only to discover I had only paid for a third of a course.
I love the free style conversation with sayaka chan!
Very impressed w the new updated. Voice recognition is spot on! Keep up the good work guys
Peefect
like it
I would really like to be able to download the pdf files and the audio lessons like it can be done via the website. The app doenst provide any of that. Since I often travel by train I would really appreciate this functionality. Also if the app would improve its loading times it would be much appreciated.
Paid for this app. and its kind of usable.. Being internet-based in 2016 is just silly. Looks like the developers stopped supporting the app. they should give everyone refunds.
Downloaded after seeing on website. Wanted to relearn German. Teaches through conversation. The voice recorder serves no purpose. Navigate through app needs work. I was only able to use for one day, and now it won't load anything. I do not recommend.
I didn't know they had an app.I purchased the Spanish version and now I can listen from me phone....fantastic! You can access all lesson IF you have purchased that level. i purchased Levels 1 and 2 years ago and can access all of my lessons.

Why don't you add Bahasa Indonesia in the options? Bahasa is even way better than Hindi. See how many people who learn Hindi in this app? No one. Sorry for saying this, just disappointed. However, it's a great app to learn Spanish and easy to use :) and would be better if you add Bahasa in this app because I really wanna learn the language. ¡Gracias!
