MondlyReviews of mondly.com

Good to learn a vocabulary but the ads and offers are misleading. The 50% offer I received from Mondly is the same amount as the 60% offer available in a "Winter Special". However, support answers to feedback and also to my minor request within a short time. And the app is nice to learn grammar.

Зустрічаються помилки навіть на рівні А1. Є не точний переклад, іноді звуковий супровід не відповідає написаному слову. Не завжди можна взаємодіяти з програмою за допомогою клавіатури, наприклад вводити слово самому

Hab 2 Jahre die Bezahlversion für Spanisch (über die Dom. Rep.) genutzt und alle Lektionen von 2015 und die Fachspezifischen Gebiete ale durchgeführt. Im dritten Jahr dann die Bezahlfunktion gekündigt da nur noch Wiederhohlungen der alten Lektionen kamen. Dann kam parallel die Umstellung mit hohem Frustationempfinden, wo nichts mehr ging, ausser der tählichen Lektion ohne Wertung. Nach 2-3 Wochen die APP frustriert gelöscht. Eigentlich schade, hab täglich min. 30 Minuten gelernt.

I was not too fond of the change in the daily lesson, that the correct answer disappeared right after you gave the correct answer.

I've never payed for the premium content and only use the free lesson of the day but I've rarely missed a day in the last several years so I know the app pretty well. I used to do the daily lessons (and the weekly and monthly ones that you earn access to if you don't miss any days) in several languages but I only use this for Croatian now because I can get far more free (ad supported) learning for the other languages by using other providers. I'm no longer learning much new in the daily lesson and I've seen many of the daily lessons recur but it's very effective at helping me retain what I already understand. I found the conjugation tables that are available if you see a double-underlined word in a sentence incredibly useful when I first started trying to learn the language because they gave quick answers to questions that the 'natural learning' process would have taken a very long time to teach. There has always been some hit-and-miss behaviour (such as clicking a double-underlined word and seeing conjugation tables for a different verb with a similar meaning) but you get used to that and sometimes the quirks are useful because they teach you words that you wouldn't otherwise have known. The most annoying thing about the app used to be the ads inviting you to pay for the premium content. I don't mind the fact that I'm being invited to pay for the good stuff but I've always disliked the fact that the ads are misleading - every single day for years I've been presented with the same supposedly limited time offers and it's dishonest and disingenuous. When Pearson bought Mondly some time ago I thought they might get rid of the misleading ads but nothing very much changed until very recently. There's clearly been a lot of work going on lately to make the app look more showy and they've also revised the language content a little. (I'm noticing, for example, that when daily lessons I've seen many times before crop up again, they now sometimes have answers that are different from the "correct" answers I've already learned.) Pictures linked to words have also been updated to reinforce the app's new highly saturated look. I don't particularly care whether the app has the new or the old look but I do care that it should work reliably and I fear that Pearson has been so highly focused on the new look that they have utterly forgotten to make sure it still works properly: verbs are still sometimes double-underlined but now when I click on them nothing happens; so no more access to conjugation tables. The way that the daily lesson section of the app indicates which weeks' and months' lessons are available/completed has become less clear in my opinion but the most truly awful and buggy changes have been in the leaderboard section. Not only has Pearson made the peculiar decisions to rename the "leaderboard" to "social" and to replace its previous navigation options (which were easily understood, readily clickable links) with a series of "roller widgets" that behave inconsistently and unreliably, the (mis)information displayed on the leaderboards is now so utterly wrong that there is no point even looking at them. I'm writing this in early December and the "points" view of the leaderboard does not show my points at all and shows an incorrect number of points for the top 15 people. Likewise, the "November" and "All Time" leaderboards show the wrong points. How do I know the numbers are wrong? I log in to the Mondly web site, which still looks like the app used to, and I look at the leaderboards there because they do get updated when I do another lesson.

Mondly bietet ein gut durchdachtes Lernprogramm, was richtig Spaß macht und Suchtcharakter hat. Das einzige was mir fehlt ist das regelmäßige Wiederholen (auch über die Lektionen hinweg) nicht gewusster Vokabeln. Was zu Abzügen bei den Sternen sorgt ist der teils unterirdische Service. Wenn sich hier signifikant etwas bessert gibts mehr Sterne. Update: Der Wunsch hinsichtlich Wiederholens der Vokabeln wurde bereits mehrfach in den Bewertungen erwähnt, wäre klasse, wenn es nicht bei leeren Versprechungen bliebe. Sie sehen ich stehe nicht alleine da mit dem Wunsch. Was den schlechten Service angeht den hatte ich bereits in der Bewertung per Mail ausführlich beschrieben. Weiteres Update: Der Bezahlservice 2Checkout, mit dem Mondly kooperiert, scheint extrem träge und inkompetent: Hab bisher nur miese Erfahrung mit denen gemacht. Jetzt nach fast einem Monat (Bestelldatum) kommen die mit einer Storno-Ankündigung um die Ecke. Unfassbar! Ich hoffe dass Mondly entsprechend interveniert und das Problem ein für alle Mal klärt!

Bin neu, aber ständig kommt den Werbung

Ich lerne Spanisch mit der Gratisversion. Seit der neuen App gibt es einige Fehlfunktionen, Sätze werden nicht vollständig wiederholt etc. und die Spracherkennung ist nicht richtig gut. Schade
