Comments on BBC Learning English for Android

★★★★★ This app helps me a lot of thanks. But can you add test level or more features like web version and use it offline just can't update when i offline. So I hope you have some news updates for it. But one more thing, you can add practice english like the quick test about grammar or something like that? -And once again, give my thanks to the content creator and developers of this app.

★★★★★ It's the best app for learning English. I'm very, very inspired from this app and learned alot.

★★★★★ Best app to learn English, I recommend you all to download and use it ❤️❤️❤️

★★★★★ I love this app now! Thank you very much for making things easier for me!!! 💗

★★☆☆☆ I can't find courses in app. Courses are available in the website.

★★☆☆☆ False advertisement it has nothing to do with learning English but rather is about pushing leftist ideology on to the people the so-called discussions are all one-sided and is an echo chamber of ideas. This propaganda disguising as learning. They will say a word is verb, etc. but he main goal is pushing the leftist world view. For example saying that eating octopus inhumane. Pushing forward the idea that you shouldn't eat animals. It's false advertising and state propaganda.

★★☆☆☆ Useless App I can't download any content at all. You can see the lessons but can't read or listen to the content.
