Best app out there

We are a bilingual family, but my kids need to practice or they will lose their second language. This is the only effective language app out there. We have tried them all and this is the most accurate language learning app you will find. The characters are adorable and the ability to record their voices is such great practice and encouragement in their learning. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. I have a countered the occasional glitch but the team responds quickly and it’s always fixable.

Well done app, excellent learning tool

Excellent, engaging, gets children speaking, so much to click on, very good customer service. Colorful app, really teaches good Spanish and not only “beginner words.” Very fun. A well developed app. No ads. Peaceful game too actually.
If you have any technical difficulties, check FAQ or contact the developer. They’re extremely helpful and responsive. Had a bug type issue and it was easily resolved without losing our progress. Awesome app! Thank you!

Black screen, no new stories

WAS a great app, feel like it’s gone down hill since the relaunch

I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall due to the “black screen bug” countless times since the relaunch of the app

There hasn’t been a new story added since Halloween 2022.

I’ve used this app since soon after its inception. Initially loved it and the the Spanish exposure it provided to my children (I speak exclusively Spanish to them), but I’m very glad I did NOT contribute during their relaunch/rebrand campaign because I feel like it would be money wasted. Holding out hope that they make changes to improve bugs (black screen, a problem for over a year) and add more stories/updates

Loving it BUT app is faulty

I honestly love this love! It is a great way for kids to learn Spanish! There seems to be something going on with the app. It won’t load for me until I delete it off the tablet then download it again. After that it works. Please fix this problem!

Homeschool Spanish made Easy!

First and foremost, we are bilingual homeschoolers - so we don’t take our language resources lightly. FabuLingua is an excellent, gentle way, to increase language learning in our homeschool. For me, it’s hands off and perfect independent study for my 8 year old. Instead of sitting down with him for Spanish, he can open the app and pick up Spanish naturally. I’ve even heard his pronunciation improve due to the native speakers used for the app recordings. For my son, it’s just fun immersive language learning and he really enjoys the stories and animated illustrations throughout the program. The gamified learning improves his recall and his desire to use the program. When it’s time for Spanish, I don’t have to tell him twice because he runs to grab his tablet to use FabuLingua!

Story-Games Work When They Want

Unfortunately I paid full price for this app. For several weeks the app did work a was on a black screen. Now when I attempt to move forward with Coqui Miedo “word scramble” game it freezes and doesn’t move forward.

I really want to like this game but there are so many instances on which I feel like my money is wasted.

I love the stories, games and progress. But the constant bugs makes we regret spending such an amount of money.

RMP1216, We are so sorry that you are having this experience! Please write to us at support@fabulingua.com so we can get to the bottom of these issues and make it up to you. Warmly, Leslie

Try it

Cons: one of the stories doesn’t work. (Tried everything refreshing &turning phone off and on) I even tried to contact the developer and there is no way to report a problem or ask how to fix it. I also wanted to ask if there are more then 5 places to visit available. But there is no way of knowing so I’m assuming it’s only 5 places to visit on the map. But the 5th place the last story no matter how much clicking it won’t load the story. —I wish there was more stories.

PRO: really love it overall. Recommend to try 10/10.

Great fun and educational

My 8 year old absolutely loves this app and asks to use it regularly. It is helping her develop an excellent Spanish accent but most importantly instilling a love of the language. My 5 year old is also starting to enjoy it. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

*revised* I am so disappointed! Can not get to work.

This app looks amazing, but I have spent a very very frustrating hour trying to get it to work! And when I finally switched devices to make an account and FINALLY got in, I got taken to a page with a Fox that never does anything but say “ah!” (…) Please fix the bugs because I’d love to use this app

EDIT: I wrote the developers and send them a screen cap and they fixed the issues! Now it works beautifully and I am a happy subscriber. It’s such a great and engaging way for young kids to learn Spanish!

Response from developer

We are so sorry about this frustration! For two days last week we had error at our backend that caused issues for new downloads. It was immediately addressed, and we emailed everyone who created an account during that time period asking them to reply to us if they were having problems so we can delete their accounts on the backend to start them over. I am sorry if that email never reached you (it may have gone into spam?). The email came from lesliefabulingua@fabulingua.com, please email to us about this issue, giving us the email address you used to create your account, so we can help out. We want to help you and your child embark on your fabulous language learning as soon as possible!

I think it great!

I have been struggling to find a way to help my daughter learn Spanish. This app so far is excellent and she is very engaged with it.
