It just shows you a picture and says a word or a phrase in Japanese. That's it. No explanation, no grammar. The spoken phrases USE grammar, but there's nothing to stop a beginner thinking "はなです" means 'flower' not 'flower + polite copula'. So for what you pay for it, it's just a very expensive talking lexicon, not even a dictionary. Sure you can learn vocab from it, but you can get that off paper too, for free.
