Pros and cons of Yabla German app for iPhone and iPad

Yabla German app good for

This app has a wonderful approach to learning by allowing both languages to be displayed in subtitles in tandem while the videos play. Each video can be slowed, paused, or skipped ahead and backward to each sentence spoken. It also allows you to select any word for a complete definition. The library is very large and growing, and it has a decent selection of videos in various difficulty levels. It is a monthly cost, but I love having it in my collection of language learning tools. Great app!
If you don’t know what Yabla is, it’s a subscription service for interactive language learning videos. I was already paying for this service, so for me this app was what I was looking for for a long time: their interactive video player brought to mobile devices. For my iPad Mini Retina, this app is very good. I’m giving it four stars because I feel they can develop this more. Yes, they brought their excellent video player to a mobile app, but I’d like to see them add more features, and add updates that can better take advantage of being on an iPad (perhaps be able to toggle parts of the interface, or to have the dictionary reference panel only appear when the user looks up a word and allowing the video size to increase slightly when the dictionary isn’t being used, etc.). A very good app...

Some bad moments

This app is a really great addition. A few bugs that will be worked in time, but overall another fantastic tool for learning.
I have my iPhone set to Deutsch to help immerse myself. Since your latest update to the iOS app, Yabla no longer shows up in German, but English, even though my phone is set to Deutsch. All my other apps are fine and display in Deutsch. Please fix ASAP!!
