This app seems dated at first, but it's the best that I've found for teaching Russian grammar. Others emphasize vocabulary, but don't spend nearly enough time on using it properly. The best feature is receiving feedback from native speakers. I took away a star because I used the app without issue for nearly a month, but now the speaking portions of lessons do not work. I can give verbal feedback to other users, but the microphone does not work within lessons. Therefore I can never receive 100%.

the moment you sign up it just shoves it's premium version right down your throat. after every lesson, it's an ad. every time you select something, it's an ad. it was incredibly annoying right off the bat, and it was a great distraction from just trying to learn. uninstalled after 10 minutes. was just trying to find an alternative app to Doulingo and this one is not it

Changing my review after a hiccup early on with the app itself. I have been enjoying Busuu for learning Japanese. I like the little videos to go along with some of the words & phrases, it helps me to visualize & remember. I like being able to review vocabulary & grammar as many times as I want. I don't deal too much with the corrections, I'm spending enough time trying to learn Japanese, so I don't have much to help others with English. So far, so good.
