Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I enjoy my ride with Babble.
  • Ive heard good thinga about Babbel and Rosetta Stone.
  • Busuu, Babbel and Seedlang are all pretty good. Check out all three before you choose.
  • I agree that Seedlang is a good app. Two other apps I often recommend are Busuu and Babbel.
  • If you insist on using online apps, I’d go with Babbel.

Cons

  • Why are you even wanting to use beginner apps like Duolingo or Babbel if you're at the C1 level?
  • I like the spaced-repetition and whimsy of Duo. Others prefer the less whimsical aspects of Babbel.
  • Before I settled on that I tried out Rosetta Stone and Babbel and was quite disappointed by how sparse the content was
  • Babbel is just a more superficial digital textbook and it is well known to be not too bad at first, but totally bad after A2.
  • Forming a daily Babel habit was impossible for me. I really regret buying it last black Friday since I only used it for about a month.
