If you don't pay for a subscription, you can only test how the app works, not learn much of a language. (You get one free study module, the rest is locked.) The way the app tests your active skills is limited. You are only asked to type singular words (with a limited set of letters given), the rest is mostly 'put the given words in the right order'. Also, the translations of especially sentences can be quite free (not literal). Maybe good to pair with some other learning tool, like flash cards?

In principle not a bad app and a fun way to get some sort of feeling with Finnish. However, the explanation of word composition and the differentiation between verb and noun is missing. For learning a language this is for me a major downside. It also causes you to make unnecessary errors in the app, as you're not only learning the words, but also have to play a guessing game as for whether the app wants to hear the noun or the verb.

First of all, the app is really good. It's not really a 3 star app, minimum 4 star and probably close to 5 star for language learning apps. However, I am super frustrated with the daily limits the app put on the learner. After about 15-20 mins (some days only after 5-10 mins) of learning the app will not let you move any more forward. While I'm paying a very high premium fee as a monthly subscription, this is totally uncalled for. Any fix for removing this daily cap of lessons?

Hi Julius
Thank you for your feedback!
Learning permanently refers to having spelled the study item correctly at least two days in a row. In order to make progress, you will have to return to the exercise the following day. Before that, you can choose another course in your course package, as there are plenty of them.
Best regards

Bought the subscription but was disappointed. I kept getting stuck on completely irrelevant words, such as твёрдый знак (the name of letter Ъ). As a complete beginner, I obviously didn't find it relevant to learn how to write твёрдый знак, which made the app force me to practice it over and over again 🤯 Furthermore, the animations and sounds are slow and annoying. It's like they tried to copy Duolingo's gameified feel, but with zero budget 🥲

This is suprisingly good method of language building. I use the Finnish app. I spoke Finnish as a child and I am re learning the language in my early 50s, and this fits in easily with a busy life. With headphones, I can slot in numerous short bursts of language training in a day. If you are quite good at spotting patterns, this really is for you. It isn't perfect though. Some programming is daft. I must have typed the words ostoskeskus and Kahvinkeittimen dozens of times.
