Just confused
This seems to be an incredible app. My problem is with purchasing. After trying it out I wanted to buy, but I purchased a French/Russian version instead of English/Russian. After getting no response from support I posted a negative review. After more digging I found a way to request a refund and the funds have been put back into my account. It looks as though I have full access to the English/Russian course that I thought was a trial version but there is no way to pay. Maybe I bought this in the past and forgot since I was looking at Russian a couple years ago. It would be nice to have contact with support to resolve these issues. It would making committing to this learning method smoother. My other problem is that I wanted to delete my previous review and replace it with this one and hopefully a five star review if I can ever get all this straightened out.
Poor catalog
I purchased a Russian course. Problem is I don’t know French. This app needs to either provide a platform that makes sense to populations that don’t speak French or provide replacement courses. This amounts to a bait and switch operation from my perspective. Poor business practice to say the least.
Assimil method the best, app the worst
I have learned French from zero to nearly fluent few years ago using Assimil book and recordings. The Assimil method is amazing, many polyglots would agree. But the app... Terrible!!! I tried the trial version. It is clunky inelegant and incomprehensible. Kind of be opposite of their method. The heart of Assimil method is parallel text. You see the target language and your native language side to side. You translate, you repeat. It is so simple. Why not to make it like that in the app? Simple zoomable copy of the book with clickable sentences to activate the audio would be already huge improvement over this amateurish attempt. I implore the Assimil team to find a good developer for the app. As it is now, it is ruining the reputation of this legendary method. It could be so wonderful. Someday, I hope. For now, just buy the book and recordings.
Works good
👍.
Don’t purchase anything through this app
I am extremely disappointed I was very excited when I saw that Assimil had an app where I could purchase their books in digital form, but unfortunately that’s where the good news ends. After purchasing my item the site simply timed-out and the book would not download. After many attempts I contacted Assimil by text but because of the time difference has been long and drawn out. Save yourself the aggravation and just buy the physical books. It’s a shame its a good idea but the execution is a disaster.
NO SUPPORT! Not working on IPad.
This is an expensive purchase to not have any support. I purchased on my iPhone. It won’t work at all on my IPad. Try to email through help on the app and that also isn’t working. This company needs to respond to help or not be sold on the App Store!
App doesn’t work
For the first 2-3 weeks I was able to login to the app and complete lessons. As of recently all I get is the loading circle and it never actually loads which slows down my learning ability.
