The mobile app for the iphone is very useful for me. I'm able to use it during the day, and in the car on my way home from work. Most of the time I am not able to sit at my computer until late in the evening, and by that time I'm too tired to concentrate on my Spanish learning. The iphone app makes all the difference for me.
I like the way it focuses on the parts of a common conversation. Things that it could do better:
1. Make some games or reading lessons that you can do silently. Face it: a lot of us have time to study in places that we just don't want to be talking into a microphone.
2. Have your web app work with more than just Chrome.
Other than those two items, it is a great platform to learn a language on. I would recommend it over most others.
I initially tried rocket Spanish using my iPad because my laptop was not working properly. I found my headphones would not work and I was very disappointed and thought it was the course design . After receiving a new laptop I tried Rocket Spanish again and so happy I did ! I was able to use what I learned during the trial period on my last trip to Mexico, I'm so excited to learn more! I have tried other online language courses and did not find them nearly as effective as Rocket Spanish...I love it❤️
Very easy to learn with this program. I am enjoying it very much.
Very easy and friendly to use. I found myself looking forward to learn a new chapter everyday. And it was not boring. I have no regrets in purchasing this. I would definitely recommend my friends to sign up for Rocket Spanish.
Loving this. My one criticism is that I do have to wonder who on Earth thought that "Evlampieff" would be a good last name for a Spanish-speaking character? Is this an actual name? I'm able to repeat the Spanish parts well enough, but I'm stumbling over this name.
Otherwise, the best course I've taken. I highly recommend it.

Evlampieff is Mauricio's real surname!
I so wish I had been using this program on my laptop right from the beginning. There is so much more available than what's in the app.
I really like that you can be recorded and hear the playback of yourself speaking your target language. There are some things I was mispronouncing that I didn't realize until I heard the playback.
The flashcards are a great feature and I like how the lessons are broken down into modules with a test at the end of each module.
I would enjoy if some more features were added, like real world articles in your target language, video news clips, etc. For Spanish, the Telenovela method can really help you learn to speak and understand the language. It would be cool if that was incorporated into this program. The repetitive nature of the what's available can become wearing.
Overall, it's a great program!
After trying several Spanish courses in the past without much success, I tried Rocket Spanish. It proved to be the course that helped me the most. I especially like the hear it-say it feature. This is really good for someone with a hearing problems. They can hear what they are saying
and see if it is close to what it should be. The price is very reasonable.
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.
I have been using Duolingo because it's free, but it's not meeting my needs. I like that Rocket Spanish helps with my pronunciation, which Duolingo did not. I had a coupon so I'm willing to give Rocket Spanish a try for 60 days! Plus, I already had the headphones with a mic so why not??
