Terrible App

Don’t waste your money!

DO NOT PURCHASE

This app is glitchy. Several screens show me the Spanish word and the next screen is blank (doesn’t show me the English word). When you click to hear the pronunciation it sounds robotic. I would like a refund since so many of the screens don’t show me the English word. But by reading other reviews it seems like I will have a hard enough time canceling my subscription. Very disappointed.

Horrible experience

At first it wouldn’t let me log on. Then no sound. I have asked for a refund. Will see if they respond

Awful, with mistakes

They have great write ups on their website, but the implementation of the app is just dread awful. There are mistakes in it, I subscribed, yet I still see annoying ads all over the place. The app is very much not engaging. It needs a whole lot of work, or needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch, to match the vision they described on their website. I’m sorry to give this kind of review, but it is just doing nothing for me.

Misrepresentation

Terrible app and total marketing misrepresentation of this product. Don’t waste your time signing up and fighting to get your money back.

No sound

How can you learn a word if you can’t hear it 🤦🏾‍♂️

Oops …

Never received confirmation of purchase from developer/provider. Downloaded app and could not create and account. Not contact or help / support available … I have no choice but request a refund.

Can’t access sound on app

I’m unable to hear the sound of the words. I see the icon for sound however when pressed, no sound. I have removed & re- download the app but no results. Cannot access app support for help either. I will have to cancel the account via my credit card.

Buggy

I’m currently waiting for a response about a refund. The sound doesn’t work for pronunciation.

Nah. Don’t waste your money

There are way better options out there. I contacted there support because the sound feature still does not work after troubleshooting.

A Very Elaborate Scam

100% a scam, some people can’t even use the app, and others can only to find that it’s nothing that it promised to be.
False advertising.
Teaches you nothing, it’s just a really poorly made Spanish dictionary with no English translation.
Just get a free Spanish to English dictionary instead of losing money please.

The Worst App

I feel so foolish downloading this app. It is terrible!! I have tried to email them to cancel my subscription several times and have gotten zero response. I will now have to cancel my credit card. I’m pretty sure this is all a scam! Whatever you do stay away from this app!!!

Scam app

This app is known as a dead app no longer active, it’s a scam the app has already been removed from the google play store don’t give them your credit card info

Scam!!

Do not use they will never answer emails and no way to cancel😡 needs to be deleted from App Store .

Purchase required to use

While the app is listed with in app purchases…you MUST purchase a subscription to use it.

Has flaws but still could be good

The GIFs are *so* annoying. They are flashy and distracting, and so far have not helped with the meaning or memorization of the words at all. The giphy search seems to be in English, which is my native language, not my target language. So when I’m trying to learn the word “sin” in Spanish, which means “without”, I’m seeing a gif of someone saying “Let the sin begin!” This is not helping me learn the word at all. If there was a way to turn off the gif display in settings, I wouldn’t be quite so annoyed with them. But I couldn’t find such a setting.

I would love it if the app had an alphabetical listing of the words I’ve learned so far, kind of like a dictionary of known words. Also, a breakdown of conjugations would be nice, so that when I’m studying the word “ir” for instance, I will know why I’m seeing the word “va” in the example sentence instead.

I also wish it had a way of trying the app before purchasing a subscription. I think the top 25 words should be free and then a subscription required after that.

Despite all the things I’ve listed wrong with the app, I do think the app has great potential. I can’t wait to see more languages added to it. I love learning languages and I think this app has the ability to be quite useful for that. I will stick around for the remainder of my subscription period and see how it goes.

Hello, Ben. Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it.

Unusable

Initial screening quiz is broken. Impossible to even see what languages are offered without first signing up for a subscription. Horrible and unusable.

Very disappointed

I bought this app hoping to study up on some Thai but unfortunately I never got the option to choose what language I wanted to learn. So I spent money on this app and it is only letting me practice Spanish. Don’t waste your time.

Response from developer

Hello, I am very sorry to hear it did not meet your expectations. We will do out best to improve and offer more languages in the future.

How to cancel membership

Hi, I subscribed for this app this week and would like to cancel it if not now (useless app, couldn’t try it before payment), then at least after the period I paid for. How to do that exactly step by step? Nobody answered my emails for the whole week! And I can’t find any button or description anywhere about how to that.
