This is neither an effective learning app nor a proper game, despite claims of gamification. A learning app should teach you something, while a game should provide entertainment, but this falls short in both areas. I've dedicated a lot of time to language learning, but the course constantly changes, and not for the better, before you can reach completion. Recently, they introduced chess, which has been incredibly frustrating. Lessons lack clear guidance on what to do, with new boards appearing each time, forcing you to seek out every opportunity. If you finally grasp a lesson and want to test it in a regular match, you encounter Oscar, the most irritating opponent imaginable. He provides unhelpful commentary with every move, claiming to practice a gracious demeanor, yet there's nothing gracious about him. He mocks your every action, and if you get close to winning, he either prolongs the game with pointless checks or forces a stalemate. Winning is rare, and if you do succeed, you need a higher rating for the next match. You're constantly strategizing against a supercomputer that anticipates 600,000 moves ahead. Additionally, the user interface is frustratingly slow; instead of a quick button to start a match, it processes a service call first, leaving you unsure if your button press registered. By the time it finally loads, you've already made several moves from repeatedly tapping. It's clear they don't use their own app, or they would understand why so many paying users are leaving.
