So far the lessons and associated exercises are enjoyable. I like the UI, it's dense but easy to use. One gripe: when listening to each lesson by aux in my car or by bluetooth headphones, there is a "crossfade" that omits the first second or so off each sentence which is jarring and makes it impossible to follow the speech exercises. Update 26/5/25: It's better with headphones but still has crossfade loss when using an aux cable meaning no good for driving (my car has no touchscreen).

Oh no! We sincerely apologize for the troubles you've had with the Pimsleur app. We are going to forward it to the development team for further investigation. In the meantime, we recommend playing the lessons with the Android Auto, as the app is fully compatible with it.We're here to help. Thanks!

I've only been using this for two days but I've used other language programs and this gives you a lot more for your money. I love that it starts you out with speaking and listening practice from the very beginning. I struggle the most with listening comprehension. Danes speak very quickly though so I'll see how much it helps in the context of real life.

I would probably give this a 1, but most will skip over the angry 1 star ratings. Set up is for Romance or Germanic; not Arabic, Urdu, Hindi. Poor teaching of sounds, alphabet, structure. No visual queues. Very frustrating. Irritating narrator. "Say, I speak a little. Now remember structure, chocolate is good, summertime 7." After he rambles on, you forget the original question. No break in between to be able to respond. You have to pause the program. Natives speak too fast; no way to alter it.
