This app is based on the neuroscience principles of learning that were first explored by Opera singer Gabriel Wyner in his popular book by the same name. For anyone interested in finally picking up that elusive language, this may be the tool to get you there!

This company is absolutely corrupt. They have set up a system that is virtually impossible to unsubscribe from and offer no remedy whatsoever for this problem. I have been billed for YEARS and they refuse to address my concerns. Gabriel Wyner you should be ASHAMED of your staff. NEVER sign up for this trial. NEVER NEVER NEVER because short of canceling your credit card, they will bill you forever (aptly named). I didn't even know I had this app, never used it, was deleted from my phone shortly after the trial ended, and still I get billed. I do not have a Facebook account with which to login and cancel my account, yet that is the only method they offer, even when I repeatedly requested they close my account. Absolute theft. That being said, if I were trying to learn a new language I would suggest the good old fashioned way- go to the country. We went to Mexico and learned far more than an app could have ever taught anyway. Netflix cartoons are also incredibly helpful and come in many languages. There are much better options than this one so I suggest you stay away!! Good luck!

Can you explain what principles you have used while designing this app?
@kamer_elciyar Sure thing! The link that @amrlth posted is a good summary but the TL;DR is this:
- We start with ear training/pronunciation so that your new vocab stops sounding foreign and you can actually remember words
- Then we guide you in a process of connecting words to images that you choose yourself, because images are substantially more memorable (and useful) than translations, and also because you get a *lot* more out of images that you've chosen when compared to images that someone else has chosen for you.
- Eventually we move you into learning new words in the context of sentences. Here, too, we guide you through choosing the words you care about, the sentences you like the most, and the images you want to use, so that everything is customized to you. Everything's much more memorable that way.
- Throughout, we take the choices you've made and quiz you on them using Spaced Repetition, so that you can efficiently get this stuff into your long term memory.

Reviews are straightforward and simple, what went wrong Gabriel?
@unnanego Hebrew's high up in our list. Can't give specific dates yet (my tech team has forbidden me from doing that anymore :) ), but we know it's in high demand

@androidlove Thanks for that info! I couldn't find pricing on their website, in iTunes descriptions, or anywhere else. I wonder why they are so deceptive about the pricing for the product?
