I think it is a good app all functions are good, but it seems to not concern much that German is complicated. We have Trennbar Verben in German (e.g. Anfangen) when I click to translate the vocab when it located seperately. The translation is correct but the word that shows on the card is "fangen" without "an" . And of course the same as the card game, it shows "fangen" instead of "anfangen". This can be bad for learning language. If I were new for this, I would understand "fangen = begin".

Yes, German separable verbs are an issue, and we have never been able to devise a good solution for them. In the end, you just have to learn how to notice them, save both parts and add a separate hint to both words. Hopefully, in the future, we will come up with a more convenient solution, but it is a tricky issue for us!

I'm learning German. I have a good grasp of the grammar and I already know a lot of words. I'm at the point that I really need to build out my vocabulary. For that reading is great. I don't know how good this app would be if I were just starting out, but it's great if you want to read a lot without having to jump to another app for translations. It also always you too flag words that you need more practice with and to review them. It's very entertaining to read with this app.

Extremely huge data consumption. It only has audio + text and I spend less than 20 minutes daily on it finishing a lesson or two. In a month period it consumed a whopping 102 GB!! the same period I consumed only 4GB on YouTube although I always open streams and 2GB tethering. Also, free version doesn't show translation except for 20 words in total which makes it hard to learn using it.
