Furthermore, various well-known language learning apps are critically analyzed by means of critical self-testing and their influence on the learning process is explained. 8 apps have been selected: three language learning apps: Duolingo, Tandem, City of Words and 5 dictionary apps: dictionary apps from Duden, Google Translate, Dict.cc, LEO dictionary and iTranslate.
