LingQ is a great app for learning language through interesting stories. Each story has a few more words of vocab, and gradually the stories get longer and more descriptive until most articles are manageable.

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!

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.
