1. First I've heard of them...

Would be interested in whatever feedback you get, though. Bookmarked.

2. I used BYKI all the time when I was learning Arabic

Not great to use as a standalone, but it's a great supplementary tool.

3. Yes. For Kreyol

pretty good. Probably will buy the paid version.

4. Great for vocabulary acquisition...

...but don't fall into the trap that vocabulary acquisition is all there is, or is even the lion's share, of learning a language.

5. Conjugatiion of verbs being the most critical...

I could definately see unique 'situations' arriving in conversations that warrent them...

6. True, along with other grammatical language features.

I don't see this as being a good way to become conversational, based on my look at it. Good vocabulary drills, though.
