Those companies do not respect their users and yet most of their users enjoy their disrespect.

    Depending on the language and the platform, I can suggest a lot of services that is way better and free and user respecting.

        Lingodeer (haven’t used it in awhile, but remember it being quite decent) and Satori reader are what I can recommend for Japanese. Also for practically any language AnkiDroid works wonders for vocabulary.

        After living in the Czech Republic for almost 5 years and giving the language several tries, I can say that there are probably no really good apps for it. Considering that the language is relatively unpopular, difficult, and not really useful anywhere else, that’s expected.

          Yeah, I’ve scoured the internet for good (and free) apps myself. That’s why I’ve been using Duolingo even though it’s not even all that helpful because it doesn’t explain the grammar. I also use Anki too, but its help is also limited. I did buy a text book, but it was very dry and it’s not all that effective for my learning style. I do appreciate the response though.
