I'm not quite a complete beginner and I've only been using the course (French) for a few weeks but find it very comprehensive in terms of topics covered and the grammar explanations seem great. Travelogue is too advanced for me atm.
There is a bit too much English in the full lessons, I know it's for beginners but the bad jokes and bits off topic are a bit annoying. There seem a few things missing from the app (Android) like the end of section tests and the survival kit audios in the playlist. Maybe I've missed it somewhere but a search function would be good to find subject/grammar topics, I know you can see headlines in the contents. It would be nice to be able to highlight somewhere which topics I want to go over again, e.g. for some of the easier sections I've not bothered to go through all the Reinforcement Activities to make them green as I don't feel I need to, but for some topics I want to go over them again, and a way to highlight which ones "I've done" would be useful.
I think it is quite expensive (I've bought all levels) but I understand a lot of work has gone into them, but am hoping it will be worth it as it's probably too early for me to say, but there is the money back guarantee which is reassuring. I've not had to deal with the Customer Service so can't really comment on that.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Nina - Thanks for the feedback. The Android/iOS apps are next in line for a comprehensive update. As far as the search function goes, there is a search field at the top of the page, which will give comprehensive results from throughout the courses. And, finally, you can mark an activity as complete in the 2021 Edition. Just click the activities icon within the activity box itself.
I am still on trial but enjoying it a lot! So far, I love the way the lessons work. There is so much content and I haven't even started looking at all the resources such as dictionaries and cultural information.
This course is great! I enjoy doint it very much. It triggers conversation from the start!

I learned a lot. Great material. Loved it. I wish some more lessons were for free . It would be very helpful.
Great instructions and practices. I can come back to repeat lessons many times.
Fun and easy. I enjoy learning important phrases.
Look, I understand that the French speak fast, but, you can't slow it down for people who are new to the language and are trying to learn? Let us understand the correct pronunciation and then we can increase the speed. I had to go to another source to grasp the correct pronunciation. Because of this, I strongly discourage anyone new to the French language from wasting their time on Rocket Languages.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi there - The pronunciation in all of our Level 1 courses IS slower than native speakers. It can take some time to adjust to the rhythm of a new language so don't be disheartened if it is difficult to understand at first. Listening to a radio/podcast in the language is a good idea to speed up this process.
