Busuu used to be amazing few years ago when i used to study Japanese, i even paid for 2 years. now is full of adverts, i have to watch an advert to unlock a lesson. sometimes playing audio doesn't work. you must have excellent Wi-Fi connection because the lesson won't work well or lag almost as if it was a videogame. i don't know what happened but it makes me not wanna pay again.this is not a game but a learning platform, but the developers are selling this for adverts.

It's the best Japanese language learning app, but I've had to downgrade to 1* as after all these months it's STILL broken! When you get an ad, wait for it to play out, click the 'x', most of the time you get a small blue spinner and nothing happens. You have to kill the app and try again. And again. And again.. so you're being forced to watch ads over and over. Eventually you get the larger spinner and it will work. Until fixed I'm leaving this as 1*.

The quality of learning is better than most language learning apps I've used so far, but the amount of ads is a bit more annoying than I'm willing to put up with. There's an ad after every lesson, but after my streak reached about a week, i started also getting ads BEFORE every lesson too. I prefer to put my money towards noble causes, and the sheer amount of ads suggests general capitalism rather than a want to teach.
