I'm in my sixth week of learning Spanish with this app and I must say I am surprised at how much I have learned, but am also aware of how much there is to learn. All I need to do is use Spanish conversation podcasts to gauge my competence in "eschucha le conversacion". I use the conversation part of the app when driving and this gives me a solid basis for sitting down with my laptop to do the exercises. This has so far been an immensely satisfying experience and I'd recommend this to anyone who is keen to learn quickly and effectively. Highly recommended!
In general Rocket Spanish does a decent job teaching the language. However, it fails to explain the rules and reasoning for the language's grammar, especially when a phrase or sentence contains multiple verbs. Also, so far (into lesson 1 of section 2) there has been no explanation of the Spanish use of the word "lo". I am struggling with the contextual grammar, and I don't think it's really any fault of my own.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Martin - Have you had a chance to check out the Language & Culture lessons? These lessons are all about grammar and take you through how the language works step by step. You can find an explanation on what happens when verbs are used together in a sentence in Lesson 2.8 under the heading "Using Two Verbs in a Row" and an explanation on LO and how it works in Lesson 5.6 under the heading "The Thing About LO"
The course has been good so far. There are good explanations about how the language works.
I hope that you retain the older type flashcards. I use them frequently to check on my knowledge of irregular preterite verbs, among other things.

Hi Walter - Yes, the custom flashcards will be in the 2021 Edition soon!
¡Maravillosa! I have found it great for pronunciation
I like the way the lessons are made. There is a lot to learn. Thanks.
Great course so far. I am enjoying it and learning a lot.
Rocket spanish is a very a good place to start to learn spanish because i learned more from here then i learned from my class not my teachers a bad teacher it's because i have time learning from a teacher on a computer.
I am generally very happy with the spoken feedback and the quality of the instruction of Spanish.
Unfortunately often my mic fails to pick up my spoken answer correctly. I bought a special mic for my iPhone and I hope that the mic performance will improve.
However, I need to review and practice hard points such as writing with the correct accent marks. Doing the harder parts of lessons several times is helpful.
I am very pleased with being able to download lesson lectures. Then I can practice away from the computer. This is very helpful.
One problematic lesson:
In Module one of Rocket Spanish, there is one lesson that is poorly designed. Presently I am doing the alphabet. Why is there no spoken practice of the alphabet? Words are presented as a vocabulary list to be memorized. How useless. ! But there is no testing or practice of spelling which is the object of the lesson. This pointless presentation of the alphabet is unlike the quality of other lessons. I wish it could be redone.
Also, in this lesson it is argued that the alphabet is related to learning the correct pronunciation of Spanish.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Ellen - Thanks for the detailed review. As far as the alphabet not having voice recognition, this is because single letters do not work well with voice recognition. It always looks for a word or phrase, which would give mixed results. In saying that further down that page there are examples of each letter of the alphabet in use in common Spanish words. We will email you directly as it does seem strange that we haven't received or replied to your emails.
i highly recommend rocket spanish cause it has helped me to clear out the confusions i had when it comes to masculine and feminine words and it has built the confidence in me to at least try and speak spanish with the correct pronunciation. Thank God that i discovered this early
