### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-05-30, version 1.3.20*

This is a great app; I’ve learned so many new words. However, I’d prefer to have flash cards and the ability to reset progress—so I could start fresh again.

### 3/5 — Learn words

*2026-02-10, version 1.3.18*

The app is ok, nothing you couldn’t get by googling words and listening to their pronunciation. I wouldn’t waste time paying for the subscription. There are probably better apps out there to better learn Spanish.

### 3/5 — Jury is out

*2025-12-05*

I’m still in the 7 day trial period. So far I like the UI and approach to learning. What I find confusing is that what drew me to the app were the ads talking about mastering the 3000 most common words and phrases used in Spanish before digging into grammar, and so far this app has me learning *very* uncommon vocabulary like “knitwear” “mole” and “blueberry.” If this is what the next 2 lessons look like then I will be cancelling.

**Developer response:** Thank you for giving the app a try! The vocabulary is organized by
  topics, and some topics naturally include more specialized words.
  You can adjust your selected topics in the app settings to focus on
  what's most relevant to you — like everyday conversation, travel, or
   work. If you need help with this, feel free to reach out at
  support@mobilecleverapps.com or through the app: Settings → Contact
  developers.

### 1/5 — Cashgrab App

*2025-11-21, version 1.3.16*

This App is locked behind a Paywall, I don’t know how to use this app for Free without paying, But every time I want to use this thing, It just asks me to Pay their Subscription

### 1/5 — Scam! Be careful, they will charge you £70

*2025-11-18, version 1.3.16*

Downloaded this app and I didn’t like it. Found it clunky and other apps were easier to use. I’ve then discovered that the app has automatically signed me up for a payment of £69.99 for something I didn’t want or use after the trial. I cancelled the trial and still got charged. Apple claim their decision is final and will not refund me the money. 
This is a scam and do not recommend you download this app!

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-11-13, version 1.3.15*

Doesn’t teach anything useful just common phrases that don’t help you get anywhere near your goal of being bilingual.

### 1/5 — Don’t Get - Forces You To Pay

*2025-11-05, version 1.3.14*

Saw an ad that you would learn Spanish and how it was amazing and FREE.
I get the app, answer questions on how knowledgeable I am, only for it to request that I PAY to use. 
Stupid and waste of my time.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-10-20, version 1.3.13*

Doesn’t let you actually cancel your free trial. You will be charged. Beware.

### 1/5 — Not possible to have 7 days trial version without credit card

*2025-10-11, version 1.3.13*

Not possible to try the app without payment details although they offer 7 days free.

### 1/5 — Won’t let you cancel

*2025-10-07, version 1.3.13*

I canceled but they  are still charging me

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-10-06*

Es gab keinerlei Vorwarnungen, bevor dass Abo für ein Jahr angefangen hat. Es ist auf jeden Fall keine App die ich empfehlen würde, man kann so gut wie nichts machen, außer einige Vokabeln lernen. Ich hab das 7-tägige Probeabzug nur abgeschlossen, weil ich gehofft hatte die App hätte auch etwas zu bieten, und dann stornieren wollen, weil ich nicht den Sinn darin sehe Geld zu bezahlen für das lernen von ein paar Vokabeln, was ich woanders viel besser kostenlos machen kann.
Aber an dem Morgen, als die 7 Tage noch nicht mal vollständig vorbei waren, ist das Geld schon abgebucht worden.

**Developer response:** Es tut uns leid für die verspätete Antwort. Wir verstehen Ihre Frustration bezüglich der Abbuchung vor dem vollständigen Ablauf der Probezeit. Apple verwaltet alle Übergänge von Probezeiträumen zu Abonnements sowie deren Zeitpunkt, und obwohl Benachrichtigungen gesendet werden, erreichen diese Sie möglicherweise nicht, falls App-Benachrichtigungen in Ihren Geräteeinstellungen deaktiviert waren. Falls dies noch relevant ist und Sie eine Rückerstattung beantragen möchten, können Sie dies direkt bei Apple unter reportaproblem.apple.com tun. Was den Inhalt betrifft: Unsere App bietet neben Vokabeln auch wiederholungsbasiertes Lernen, Wortbildungsübungen, Spracherkennung, Grammatikregeln, Redewendungen und thematische Lernbereiche, aber es tut uns leid, dass es Ihnen damals nicht wertvoll erschien.

### 1/5 — UK

*2025-09-30, version 1.3.13*

### 1/5 — Just vocab

*2026-06-20, version 1.3.20*

It’s just vocabulary, unlike the ads which made it seem like you learn phrases through songs

### 1/5 — Fraudulently charged - Did not honour 7 day free trial

*2026-06-13, version 1.3.20*

The app requires a sign-up to try but offers a 7 day free trial. However I was charged the full amount immediately on signing up. The app is not right for me, so I cancelled the subscription on the same day, but a refund request has been denied twice now.

### 1/5 — Poor UI, scammy billing

*2026-06-04, version 1.3.20*

No way of knowing what the content is. The gatekeep with stupid irrelevant quiz to even enter. There is is no way to access free trial without allowing billing. Very scammy and you never even get to see the content

### 1/5 — No way to easily cancel

*2026-05-28, version 1.3.20*

Where is the cancellation option during the “free” trial?

### 1/5 — Not the way to learn a language

*2026-04-12*

The app teaches you lists of words, which is possibly the worst way to try to learn any language. The only way to learn is to use the words in context, by forming and listening to complete sentences. Don’t waste your time with this.

**Developer response:** We're sorry you encountered difficulties with the learning approach. While the app does focus on vocabulary building through spaced repetition, it also includes grammar rules, collocations, idioms, and contextual exercises organized by thematic topics like travel, work, and everyday life. We understand that different learning methods work better for different people, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback even after some time has passed. Your experience helps us understand what learners are looking for.

### 1/5 — Forced subscription

*2026-03-10, version 1.3.20*

Downloaded through insta and somehow it autsubscribed me. Tried to cancel/refund but to no avail. Not sure what happened on my end but felt a bit scammy as I was never asked for a subscription. Take w grain of salt, doesn’t seem to be a common problem.

### 1/5 — Bunch of thieves

*2026-01-26, version 1.3.17*

Terrible didn’t work and if you sine up for a 7 day trial they bill you for the year .

### 1/5 — Free trial and charge it?

*2026-01-19, version 1.3.17*

The app is advertised as offering a free trial, but it was charged immediately upon singing up. This was not clearly communicated during the subscription process. I canceled right away but both apple and the app refused a refund

And the app is sucks. Worse than duolingo

### 1/5 — Scammed

*2026-01-15, version 1.3.17*

It says there is a free trial period and that you can cancel at any time before it expires, but forces you to select a plan for when the trial ends and then charges you for it after immediately. Total scam

### 1/5 — ..

*2025-12-09, version 1.3.16*

The prices subscription is ending my trial but others have more money than me. This app is very well made and can be incredibly useful for learning speech, words and listening.

### 5/5 — Underrated

*2025-12-31*

**Developer response:** Thank you! Really appreciate the support 💜 ¡Sigue aprendiendo! 🇪🇸
