Useful but way too expensive. For the price you would expect a much better app - and perhaps one that is somehow linked to the website. That said, the content does appear to be useful - not sure if it is £17/m useful though.
Listening to Spanish delivered at a slow pace has really improved my ability to understand spoken Spanish - much more than in movies or TV where there is overtalk and outside noises. Also like to hear the news from Latin America. Wish they would focus on more happy news stories.
It's very expensive at $23 per month. I didn't even do the free trial...I can't afford that. Uninstalling.
Why is there no options to resume outside the app? I don't want to go in to the app every time I want to pause or play
New update - many crashes, unable to download
very understanding and educational
Wish I could spend more time in this app.
I like the podcasts. The app media player does not show up in my phone toolbar though. Needs to be fixed.
Good for improving your Spanish vocabulary as well as listening skills. plus the translation available for the words in red is also very helpful.
I got the bronze subscription, with transcripts. The content is absolutely worth the price. Also, they don't automatically charge my credit card when the subscription expires, which I think is awesome.
Good, but not free, and fairly pricey.
Great! Just what I need.
No demo of Latin American Spanish... And the prices are very high. Frankly a rip off in my opinion. Try this app instead: Spanish Listening.
Need an app update on Android. The highlighted texts do not show the English translations. Please fix.
Love this - really good software - I use the website on computer too and print off the transcripts - don't actually need the app but makes it quicker to access on phone I suppose - I tend to go on internet even on my phone - so much more than free language apps that are a bit trite and superficial - for bronze it works out £6 a month which is a cost but my progress is fast on this - a fraction of the cost of evening classes (which I couldn't afford).
Pretty good, but would be better if it supported Google Cast
The cost is worth it. You can basically chose the level of service you need or can afford. The shows are very well done and besides learning Spanish, you get lots of news you probably wouldn't hear in English-speaking media.
What do you provide to justify such ridiculous costs? It is unthinkable I would pay anywhere near the amount they're asking, making this app an abject waste of time.
I just wish it were daily. A tremendous help for learning Spanish.
was enjoying the content now it is no longer free
Downloading the app is free but no use if you don't pay crazy money for the subscription.
App has become extremely pathetic after last update in Feb, it used to work well earlier. 1) App crashes in every 5 min 2) Download lessons don't stay in cache at times 3) Cached episodes don't have the play button many times 4) "player is loading, please wait ..." is the message I've been getting for past 2 days, not able to launch new episodes Feeling cheated as a paid customer. How do I apply for the refund?
Nothing is free. I get the first 3 words then it just plays music. Absolutely rubbish.
Except that it keeps playing only the free content, even though I have paid my subscription! I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it makes no difference. However, sometimes it works OK, and then it is great!
All I get is that same stupid error message. I heard good things about the app. Unfortunately I never got to try it.
Extremely high quality and engaging content but terrible, terrible app, freezes, forgets what has already been played and just extremely buggy. Considering the ridiculous subscription price this really needs to be fixed.
