On the dot...

I have to respectfully disagree with another review. We say "on the dot" all the time in Austin. "We are leaving at 8:00 on the dot, so dont be late!" In fact, amazingly ironically, I had just taken an "On the Dot" taxi from DFW airport to my hotel and kicked back looking for a new app when I read these reviews. Im an intermediate level speaker and I think this is a great tool for practicing pronunciation and small talk. I found that I have become more relaxed and more natural sounding by practicing such phases - having them on the tip of my tongue ready to fire off. (just learning to say este... instead of um well uh when struggling for a word is invaluable for buying time and still sounding fluent. ). The voices are clear and natural sounding. The grammer points have served me as a convenient refresher. I dont think it will be very helpful to someone not familiar already with the grammer - the treatment is too simple. I agree that it is begging for more content, especially given all the free resouces available. But really, the app store is about the only place left where you can buy something useful for under a buck - Im hard pressed to be too critical. For five bucks I have five spanish apps that complement each other, filling in the gaps. I think youll find this app useful too.
