Are those your own words or have you just copy and pasted some of their marketing spiel?

The app itself is pretty... well... meh. They've thrown together a few fancy bits of third party technology with a fairly simple website.

Personally, I think the best approach is to do things with a browser plugin, and there are already browser plugins for learners that let you look up individual words with a quick mouse-over or click. The commercial problem is that it is pretty hard to get people to pay a subscription to a browser plugin, so you have to build a web app that is kind of awkward to use -- copy and pasting entire articles is a right pain, and increasingly, sites (especially news sites) are building in JavaScript that prevents copying and pasting articles wholesale, so this app is going to be less and less use over time.

My words. He has worked with that concept for some time now:

and I have been waiting for this app, the first one I have ever considered subscribing to. He knows what he is doing, the first American I have listened to who speaks perfect accentless German.
SIMPLE TRANSLATE would be the additional app I may use (it can go both ways automatically L1-L2 or L2-L1. And a personal AI pop-up with my own prompts (which may not work here, since it doesn't in LANGUAGE CRUSH nor similar platforms.

The German intonation of the automated voice is not ok, they ought to improve this.

Learn Polish FASTER with T3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrQxXOJX3jI

Polish is notorious for being difficult to learn because of the sheer number of new words (for speakers of non-Slavic languages) and due to the pronunciation.

Polish is notorious for being difficult to learn

So difficult that artificial "intelligence" hasn't been able to learn it.

W klasie jest trzydzieści trzydzieścioro uczniów. - Auto-generated pronunciation was incorrect. (Granted, collective numerals are quite difficult.)

*Są dziewczyny i chłopcy. - This sentence is very awkward. (I'm tempted to say it's ungrammatical.) W klasie są dziewczyny i chłopcy. - OK. You repeat w klasie, but that's fine since you're going for extremely basic language anyway.

Większość nauczycieli jest miła, - OK

*a dyrektor szkoły również. - a is used incorrectly (it's contrastive - in this case it could be used if the director were nicer than the other teachers or not nice at all). Również at the end of a clause - highly unusual. The only instance I found happens to be a translation from English.

*siedzi na ławce - In a Polish school you're supposed to sit 'in a bench' (w ławce). You can sit 'on' it in a park.

*Florian jest kolegą z klasy. - Wonderful news, but whose classmate is he? (I believe "Florian is a classmate" is similarly awkward in English.)

… and so on. The app looks interesting, but why choose a poorly written text to showcase it with?

Hi Greasaias, you're absolutely right, that text was a poor choice on my part - I now see that it had been translated from English.
Thanks for calling that to my attention!
Is there any text you would be more interested in seeing a T3 translation of?

Hi Kraut, thank you so much for your words, your interest in T3 and for being a long-time follower!
We are making regular progress on T3 and releasing new features on a weekly basis now, so we would love to receive constructive feedback (as well as critique from dedicated language learners such as yourself and others in this forum.
Thank you again and best regards from Göttingen!

I would like an app that allows me to listen to YouTube videos, while reading the transcript, with the facility to look up an word in a dictionary. LingQ is the only one I know of, but it has serious useability issues. I use an iPad for language learning i.e. not a PC, not Android.
