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.

Everytime this app updates, something breaks. It seems to no longer recognize my voice. May be caused because the mike doesn't seem to activate the first time I press the button. My device is a Pixel 6. Thankfully, I have also been using Duolingo, which works better but Babbel moves more quickly so it would be nice if it would function since I paid for my subscription. At this point I expect to cancel at the end of it. Frustrating!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! TRY ANY OTHER APP! After reaching out due to application errors and receiving the run around... being told, try this, do this, send a screenshot, now send a screen recording, log in, log out... I still have common issues with the accuracy of the microphone. I've done everything they tell me to do, and yet the issues persist... The frustration is more than enough to affect my learning, and it's really disappointing, and I'm highly unsatisfied. 0/10 ⭐️
