Their explanations set them apart from competitors. No other app explains cultural differences, grammar, and "Dutch things". For example: Babbel uses actual sounds that match the NS/train station. And their visual aids match what they're referring to (unlike competitors who use random, irrelevant pictures). The pricing and quality is simply superior.

over-hyped and overpriced. Speaking exercises don't work properly. Several times I have passed my phone to someone who's first language is the one I'm studying and it still says incorrect. Seems overly strict or plain wrong. the words and phrases I'm being taught are also very outdated, again according to people who actually speak the language as their native tongue.

It's okay. I like that it explains more than Duolingo, but the lessons can get pretty repetitive, not to mention stuff that just isn't relevant. There were multiple lessons on talking about environmental pollution yet no lesson on animal names or buying groceries. Also, not happy that I have to use Spain Spanish instead of Latin American because the latter only had two levels to go through. I'm glad I didn't buy the lifetime subscription. Just a year then I'll probably drop it.
