After trying Duolingo for some months, I find Rocket languages is better equipping me for conversations in Spanish. I have only just started using Rocket languages but so far so good.
Although I am making progress learning Spanish, the app has several bugs that have certainly affected my pace of learning. Missing translations/text are not uncommon. Sometimes it takes deleting and reinstalling the app to get it working. On some lessons it simply will not work no matter what action you take. Customer support has not been able to resolve the matter and I have decided that you get what you pay for. With the regular discounts offered as well as the supposed one-time price cut to entice you to buy all 3 level at the onset, I found the course fairly inexpensive. If the bugs ever get worked out, I would then consider this one of the best language courses available.
I am enjoying the opportunity to exercise different styles of learning (listening, speaking, and writing). However, I am frustrated that the transcripts don't always reflect what I have said. Listening to my voice proves that.
So far so good... I've tried and tossed two other Spanish apps... I felt Rocket Spanish was worth a shot and now think I'll be able to gain the level of conversational Spanish to not look like a total idiot.
Of all the various language courses I've looked at for years, this one, with all options is by far the one that suits my needs! I can't wait to get started! After several "glitches" on my part, support was forthcoming , courteous and entirely helpful! I feel confident that I'm in the right place!
So far I am very happy with the Rocket Spanish. It is exactly what I was looking for. It has the listening portion that I can use on my way to work or while on a long walk. It also has the writing portion and the flash cards. I feel like having both really helps my understanding.
I started learning español on a different app, but life stuff forced me to drop out. That, plus I felt completely unprepared for conversation after a year or so of lessons.
Now, with Rocket Spanish, I'm restarting on Square One. At first, the vocabulary seemed way too simple. But then, I realized that RS really gets me right into conversation mode, while also helping me to up my pronunciation game - the exact areas where my previous app fell short. So, for now, I plan to keep on moving step by step.
I supplement RS with Destinos videos/book and songs. A bit down the road, I will add a language transfer app to the mix. RS is doing a great job of providing a base to learn with, while filling in some old gaps.
Rocket Spanish is an exceptionally well designed learning tool. Each of the lessons offers multiple learning methods, which provide opportunities to reinforce learning every step of the way. And the ability to listen to a native Spanish speaker pronouncing each word correctly is superior to computer-driven learning tools.
I don't want to write a review at this time because I'm having difficulty taking the course because of technical issues.
I am in the present in contact with technical support to resolve my issue. My issue is this: When I hear a Spanish word or phrase that I am to repeat using the little mike icon, it doesn't give me near enough time to complete the word before cutting out. So, the other icon comes up and say "please try again". I am very frustrated with this issue. I hope technical support can fix this.
This issue just started up this week. Otherwise, I really like the course overall, and plan to continue as soon as my issue is fixed.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Henry. We are endeavoring to get in touch with you via email so that we can set up a Skype call to walk through the issues.
Quite good although the programme is not that easy to follow which makes it harder for me to buy.
I need a simple one with less computer glitches. Although this ones verbal pronunciations are good.
I also couldn’t understand jumping from modules throughout the trial.
No directions on how to get back to programme.
