Long time HN reader here. I've got several iOS language apps in the App Store. Here's my Spanish app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/h4-spanish-lite/id388918463?m...

I'd appreciate it if a few people could download it and provide feedback. The store is getting quite crowded so I'm looking for ideas to find a niche. I've got versions for several other languages, which I outsourced the translations. At this point, I'm not sure where to make further investment.

Good offline mode is the biggest thing missing from the current apps IMO. DuoLingo's was mediocre but on the latest update they completely broke it. Memrise lets you download a lesson but most of the mnemonics, which are the big draw, don't actually download, so it loses a lot of its functionality and just turns into flashcards.

I do most of my studying on my commutes which are all on the subways.

My apps don't require an online mode. I'd like to use iCloud sync at some point so you can move between devices and keep your favorites, scores, etc.
