Language Lab Hack 22.2 + Redeem Codes

The main issue I have so far, and I’ve only done the first lessons, is that they have a lot of questions with the same answers twice. For example on the flash cards it states “Feliz” and selection A and E are both “Happy”. I select option A, Happy, and it says it’s wrong but I select the E, Happy, and it’s right, that is annoying.

I’m grateful to have this app, to go along with several McGraw-Hill books I’ve purchased. However, even after a few days of use, there are certain glaring irritations then I’m hoping we’ll be addressed in the next update:

If somebody is studying language they shouldn’t have to run a gauntlet through six different languages and umpteen books, and X chapters every single freaking time they open up the app. The app needs a little bit of intelligence to remember where I was last time I used it and it should just take me there! That is my only real complaint at the moment. This is really irritating, and if someone at McGraw-Hill thinks that they are selling more books by shoving their books in peoples faces unnecessarily they are severely mistaken and maybe need a check up from the neck up?

Again, I am grateful for this app. Please work on making me experience little bit more smooth. If you make the experience and books great, most of the “advertising” will take care of itself. It probably isn’t one person in 1000 who is interested in learning six languages at the same time. So please don’t put German, French, etc., etc., etc., etc. in front of the one language I’m trying to get to.

I give the five stars because it deserves it. I see no reason for giving less than that. I thank McGraw Hill for its great job.

The app is so useful, but still needs improvement. It kept crashing multiple times.

I use this app for Complete Spanish Step-by-Step. I love the idea of having the flashcards premade to accompany the book, and the app works fine, but it is very bare-bones and could use more options.

In particular, I would like to randomize flash card order. So far I have had issues when the flash cards are in alphabetical order for the Spanish words, making it easy to guess the first letter when doing flashcards from English to Spanish. I have also had issues with days of the week, where the Spanish flash cards are listed in order Monday through Sunday, making them super easy to guess in English.

update: found another bug. revising to only 1 star as there has not been a single update in six months

bugs:
1. sometimes the back buttons after completing exercise does not work in the following screens
2. sometimes the first card may show blank if you touch it twice to translate it back
3. sometimes not possible to push missed it on the last card

requests:
1. my book "basic spanish" suggested this app, however there are no cards in it for my book. please add basic spanish

2. it has a lot of helpful cards, but it only gives you a question and answer, does not let you interactively choose, please add choosing answer option

3. does not pronounce for you, this is a major flaw. please add sound

4. please indicate which exercise was done last in the long exercise list ( so I accidentally dont choose the one I just did)

5. and last, but not the least, I cannot stand the casino play and music at end of each exercise, it is annoying as hell, how do I disable that? please remove completely!!! or at least let me disable it in a setup so I dont have to see it again.

6. update app more often. Wrote this review several months ago and still not a single update

7. sometimes I translate w another word than the one used. I have no idea whether I was right or wrong when I see the answer. not sure how to improve, Maybe you simply need a comments page for every card, and make the app more collaborative!

thank you for reading!

I found this to be a wonderful "drill and kill" flashcards system. I am able to grade myself both from Spanish to English and from English to Spanish. The only thing I wish you did was pronounce some words when I am unclear a proper pronunciation. I have to go out of the app to Google translator to hear the pronunciation. Other than that a strong four stars. If it had the voice pronunciation I would have easily given it five stars.

You can't beat the price get it and get started you'll be much happier.

Errors seem to be a critical issue. Similar to other users, I picked up on a very simple error in the first quiz I opened. Not sure how I could trust a language learning app that makes rookie mistakes.

The quiz/flash card functionality is basic but workable (about what you would expect for a free add-on app). Though if you click on a quiz to review, Progress automatically gets reset to 0%, which is odd behavior.

Ultimately, this is an all-purpose app that doesn’t always fit the specific book content very well. Sometimes the quizzes and flashcards aren’t really set up to teach anything meaningful, though some are useful. But it’s got errors, and for that reason I’m out.

I’m using the German cards. Too many of these language apps have so many bells and whistles. I just want the flash cards and some easy review. I’ll do the rest. This app does just that. It’s simple. It’s barebones. And it’s what you need. This is my kind of app. I don’t need something tracking progress and all that other noise. Just the information please, and they accomplish that here. I’ve seen complaints of errors but I can’t say I’ve seen that yet for the German stuff.

This is a great app! Thank you MH :) I'm studying French and have 11 out of the 14 French titles already in your app, so this app is truly helping me.

Wish #1: I'm almost out of storage on my tablet. PLEASE divide the app so I can have all of the French content without any of the languages that I'm not studying. That would cut the app size significantly.

Wish #2: I have 6 more titles from you and hope you'll gradually add them, starting with the *other* "Demystified" title: "French CONVERSATION Demystified" by Kurbegov.
