I’ve been using Rocket French level 1 for several weeks now on an iPad. Though I think the format is very good in the way it introduces practical speaking without burdening with grammar, I am unhappy with the software itself. Trying to listen to a sentence that starts after skipping the 1st couple of words gets annoying, and the recording of my speech is too often very poor so that I have to repeat myself 3 times. This occurs on the app as well as on the website. I have contacted Rocket French, and though they are responsive, there has been no improvement, and there’s nothIng wrong with my iPad settings. I just think the software needs revision. I have started it and will continue, but I’m not sure I would recommend it.
