Pros and cons of Russian Essentials app for iPhone and iPad

Russian Essentials app good for

I am of Russian origin but ive never had time to learn it. :( But this app gives me new hope not to learn entirely but to get a good start, Im definetly buying the full version!!!!!

This app is impressive, and I have to say the spaced repetition feature is FANTASTIC. I havent yet found a faster way to memorize words. :) Its well worth trying and (as long as you understand Russian lettering) I promise you wont be disappointed. Now excuse me while I go ahead and buy the full version! :D

No ads, lets you practice without the internet. After trying this I got the full version since it works so well. Спасибо!

This is a wonderful FREE app!!! The audio works perfectly, which is helping me an immense amount when it comes to pronunciation.

Some reviewers say the audio does not work. It wont if the phone is set to silent mode. Flip the switch above the volume rocker, and youll have perfectly clear audio. Great app!

As a native Russian speaker can tell that there is no grammar mistakes and words are read without any accent

Some bad moments

It has lots of words, but theres 1 problem..... I CANT READ RUSSIAN WRITING!!!!!!!!!!!

I just upgraded and I wish I hadnt. There was a translator on the old version which I used very often. It was very useful. But it doesnt exist on the new version. Is there a way to downgrade?

When studying numbers, for instance, why list them alphabetically? People dont start to count from eight, eighteen, eighty, ..., four, etc. Hello and goodbye arent even in here. Only 132 words.

Ive tried three different languages from this program and the audio doesnt work. That needs to be fixed.

I like the idea of selecting your own lessons, but the audio could use some adjustments. My father knows some Russian and I asked him if you pronounced one word the way I heard it on this app and he told me I completely misheard! They should have an option where you can slow it down or break it into syllables. I also wish there were more catagories.

I dont know why they removed the translator in the last update. That translator is crucial to my study of Russian. Now what am I supposed to do for the thousands of words that are not on a flashcard. And I dont need audio for the translator, I can read.
