  • I would like to give them more stars

    But after using this for a week I have asked for my money back. This is the only app in the iPhone universe that doesn't understand spoken language without a headphone -- according to them. But I know they ACTUALLY have a huge enormous programming bug that is the REAL problem -- it's not a headphone problem, it's your app doesn't understand numbers in Spanish. The app has many sections where you are supposed to be reciting the phrase back. Anytime a number is involved in that phrase, instead of spelling out the number, the app writes a number and then tells you you're wrong even though it's the correct number, it's just not spelled out -- and I have no control over that aspect of the app. It is the app that is not properly spelling numbers out and uses numerals instead. That is not going to be resolved with the headphones they keep pushing. Headphones are not a resolution to a programming bug. they should also be unnecessary for any well programmed application. I have used at least a dozen Spanish-speaking apps and not a single one of them had any trouble understanding a single word I said. I pronounce Spanish extremely well. I've been studying it for many years and I'm just trying to get it together for a trip. And the app knows I'm pronouncing the words correctly because it's not saying I'm not -- the only thing it doesn't understand is numbers and that's because it has a bug!! Furthermore, while it started out great, they all of a sudden leaped ahead and instead of building on the previous lessons they started doing brand new lessons that have nothing to do with anything you learned previously, do not build on the previous lesson in anyway shape or form, and leave you so frustrated with 100 new vocabulary words in one lousy little lesson that you do what I do -- you demand your money back. It's ridiculous. Bottom line, in my experience the majority of other countries do not know how to program anything properly. That is definitely an American specialty.
  • Voice Recognition Needs Work

    By moklabis
    Course is good, but the voice recognition isn’t great. It often gives you a 100% when you’ve clearly pronounced it wrong and there are way too many, “Sorry, didn’t catch that…” responses. There are also issues with -es ending pronunciations in French.
  • Really great compared to others

    The biggest issue I have with this app is the comprehension when speaking back in the French version. It takes often several tries for the app to identify correctly what I am repeating, though its identical to the woman speaking. Shorter words tend to be the worst, with longer ones being picked up easily. Possibly this is because of throat sounds or rolls, as well as dropped letters/silent letters. Aside from this moderately frustrating aspect, I really like the straight forward structure compared to Rosetta Stone, DuoLingo or Babbel, where I feel are almost childish interactive games and don’t use real word phrases and interactions as quickly. I retain the information better with this app. Really glad I found it. It was reviewed as the top French language learning app by several YouTubers which is how I found it.
  • Very good app. Highly recommend

    I like using this app. It has me review the mistakes I make and it pronounces words and lets me say them as well. Plus it reviews previous lessons.
  • Great explanations of German grammar

    By CBECKSEABEE
    Along with the easy grammar explanations are examples to clarify the oft difficult and somewhat illogical words for understanding German. The everyday sayings are a bonus to learn how original German speakers use the phrases that are not literally translated. Only one concern is that the sound of words is too fast and slurred. While knowing that may be how a German speaker may sound to their buddy, it does not help learning and repeating the words and phrases. Update one month later: I raised the stars to five. I was using Babbel at the same time as Rocket. However, Babble went from ease of learning to over the top of difficulty and speech that was so fast it became impossible to understand. ROCKET has maintains a decent pace for beginner students of German and is increasing the difficulty as the learner becomes more proficient. The grammar explanations are top notch. I now use Rocket exclusively as my online language training.
  • Works exactly as advertised

    By Sambalady
    I have been very happy with Rocket Spanish. I am currently learning subjunctive and the app allows you to go “down a rabbit hole when you want too.” This type of learning is fun (for the most part) and trusting the process of any Spanish program is key. No program is perfect with how it teaches but after using many apps, this is among the best! It is a little harder at the beginning and I used Pimsleur and duo-lingo first. My review is based on that but I am not sure it matters.
  • Good, but needs improvement.

    I’m learning ASL and there’s a big issue that I’m having. The signers are signing way too fast for beginners. I put the playback speed on .5 and it doesn’t help much. This is a huge problem for people who are trying to learn sign language for the first time. The lessons are too lazy to show new words after a while and just ‘refer to the dictionary.’ Those are all of the issues I’m having.
  • Best of the best …

    By Larsusa
    It’s comprehensive. It takes familiar Spanish sentences and creates opportunities of learning to say them in different ways. Rocket is offering many new ways to speak from the very beginning! Spelling tests are great not super easy just right and many ways to test yourself. In fact I am going to continue to practice the first lesson because I didn’t get everything absorbed into my memory. When I do I’ll move forward. I’m still racking up points while I go over the material so I’m getting reinforcement to learn the material not just rush forward to collect points. It is excellent and like I said the best of the best!!!
  • NOT FOR YOU IF YOU DON’T ALREADY SPEAK SPANISH

    1
    By Ben VonBrillo
    This was clearly designed for someone who was raised around Spanish, or is immersed in Spanish in their daily lives. I learned the hard way why you pay for the whole thing, upfront and not by the month. It is so frustrating and difficult that I deeply regret this purchase. I use Duolingo every single day, and study Spanish outside of rocket Spanish every single day. But I only attempt to use rocket Spanish when I have 10 to 12 uninterrupted hours to complete each one hour lesson. It is all negative feedback and frustration. I really really hate rocket Spanish but I’m using it because I bought the whole program.
  • Confuses even native speakers

    2
    By brianfreitas
    I purchased rocket Hindi to help me study along with my Hindi course. However, within the first few modules, I noticed inconsistent grammar like “you” being placed at the end of the sentence (kaise hain aap) rather than at the beginning where it belongs (aap kaise hain). They also use words that are hardly used in India, or by native speakers at all, which they tell you, however skip what would typically be said. While there are many great elements, I would not say that this alone will teach you to speak and be understood by locals.
