Pros and cons of Learn German (Hello-Hello) app for iPhone and iPad

Learn German (Hello-Hello) app good for

i like the programs verrrry much ..really you can learn deutsch really.. thx for all you make the programs thxxxxx
The module is excellent, but the price of next episodes is a little steep.

Some bad moments

The "free" app offered very little. One lesson out of thirty was available on the free download, otherwise only flash cards. All else required purchase. Why do I always fall for the same lame temptation? There is no free lunch.
though the app did start out with the simple greeting type stuff, it really needs an introduction for people who literally know nothing about the language. I would NOT recommend this for beginners. it starts you off with full conversations that need to be interpreted, without even telling you how to say yes, no, or goodbye, or how to work with certain types of words or letters specific to the language. really not so great.
This app looks at a conversation from all aspects of saying it and writing it. Very impressed.
If you are learning a language this app is a must have. German is a tough language and this app helps alot while also making it fun. It is helping my aural-listening-hearing skills and one really will need these skills in a foreign country.
It becomes quite expensive after buying lessons after lesson, i would not recommend true beginners to use this, because it is fast paced and because it jumps from very simple to long sentences and phrases. I would recommend this app for someone who already knows basic phrases (hello, goodbye, how are you, etc.) just someone with a decent background in german. Just for advice I recommend only buying the lessons you find needed, also I would give 4 stars if the lessons were cheaper, you should get more for the lessons
Unfortunately this app nixed itself from my consideration in lesson one when the introductions between strangers is taught using the familiar/informal you (du). In Germany, everyone uses the formal you (sie) unless mutually agreed upon or with children. Its disrespectful to use du with a stranger, an acquaintance, a boss, and usually coworkers as well. So why is "wie heißt du" the introduction form taught when youll only ever use that form with a child?
