The lessons are great, but the app is full of bugs, you click on things and there is this infinite loop. You need to reset the app all the time.
Doesn’t Work

For the last several months I have been unable to use this app. Everything works fine until I click on a lesson to play it, and which point a loading spinner shows up and never leaves. The only way to get out is to force quit. The issue has persisted to my new phone. Obviously this renders the app unusable.
Great except for the subscription tiers

I used ChinesePod to learn a lot of Chinese back in 2005 and 2017-2020. This company uses the same technique as them. I use this app for JapanesePod101. As I write this review, the basic tier costs $8 and only unlocks lesson audio, and it’s promised to unlock lesson transcripts and lesson notes, but sometimes the transcripts are locked too. The next tier up is a big $17 jump to $25 a month. Even though it offers a lot more, that’s a significant jump, and I think $25 a month is a lot to ask. I’d rather study on my own with YouTube videos and textbooks that include audio files for dialogues and save that $25 a month for a couple of tutoring lessons with a Japanese native speaker. The basic tier just doesn’t seem worth it to me given how restrictive it is.
Good

Too much talking about nothing and not enough teaching. The words of each lesson are too easy and don’t match the much more difficult dialogue and quizzes. Too much emphasis on grammar jargon. This is not necessary. I speak perfect English and don’t know what half these grammar terms mean. It’s not necessary to learn a language. The human brain learns through examples.
Everything is locked behind premium…

If I knew it was a pay to use app I wouldn’t have downloaded it. Might as well find a different one…
App does not load consistently

I had a premium subscription to study Japanese with this app a few years ago and it was quite good. I decided to use it again and I am very frustrated by how buggy it is. It doesn’t load the lessons properly half the time. The content is good but it’s not accessible, which is very frustrating.

Sometimes will be stuck on loading screen for several minutes and will crash in the middle of audio lesson
