  • Exactly what I hoped it would be

    I’ve tried learning languages partly by watching tv shows in the language for years, but it’s always been a hassle to find the right kind of show and keep track of the words I don’t know. This app makes all that easy: you can browse through shows, choose exactly the kind of subtitling you want, adjust the playback speed, get definitions of almost all the words by tapping the subtitles, and it keeps track of the words you don’t know, so you can write them down later or practice them in the app.

    It’s not an all-in-one language learning app, but what it does, it does really well.
  • Brilliant

    This makes so much sense. I always have music or a show on in the background, and now it can be in french! I can slow down the speed of the show to hear better and have more time to pause to save words or phrases i dont recognize. Then, i am able to go back later and review and study them!
  • Unprofessional Customer Service

    Great concept to learn new language. I was trying this app out, as with all other apps there is a trial period after which you have the flexibility to cancel the subscription from your device. Lingo Pie strategically have put their subscription on the website, so you cannot maintain from your iOS settings or from the app. I was scratching my head to figure out where and how I would cancel my subscription while the time ran out and I was charged some $13. I was eventually able to figure out and cancel the subscription from their website. One of the founder reached out offering an alternative price/subscription to renew and instead I explained my situation and requested a refund, after which I never heard back. Granted, it was me who technically surpassed the free trial period by a day, but with request and explanation it should be clear why that happened. I will not recommend this app to anyone.
  • this app is more than incredible

    i sucked at spanish
    tried for years never could get it

    got this app from a friend who became fluent through it and i’m understanding full length conversations now everything is starting to stand out and be emphasized in my mind

    i think why lingopie works is because it allows you to PAUSE any word on the screen and it gives you the definition so it’s instant learning

    i’ve been on lingopie for a brief month and have already added more than 500 words to my arsenal

    imagine a year?

    download this. pay the $50 (should be $500!!!!). it’s worth it!!!! trust me

    also join Tandem to meet spanish speakers and practice the language through video chat — also worth $50!!!!!!
  • Most intuitive way to learn

    I adore this app. My Spanish has improved more in the past month of using it than it has from years of me using other language learning apps. I feel like I can finally understand how people actually use the language informally. And it’s FUN. The app is a bit buggy at times but I think this is because it is relatively new. Support this app so they can expand! Can’t wait to see what shows and movies they offer in the future!
  • Terrible service and bad customer service

    I downloaded this app to try to learn Russian, but the sound quality was awful/unbearable. There was this weird feedback, similar to when a microphone is held near an amp and it gives off that annoying fuzzy sound, and it actually physically hurt my ears to listen. When I asked for a refund because of this issue, customer service just gave me a very standard response that the trial period had ended and I couldn't be issued a refund, despite the fact that their service was not of good quality. Good companies don't ignore valid complaints from their customers. Don't bother with this app!
  • Doesn’t give you the option to cancel the subscription on the “profile page”

    I tried to cancel the free subscription almost immediately after I downloaded this app. However when I tried to do it through the app and on their website it doesn’t even allow you the option to. So I was charged $60 and cannot even try to cancel it.
  • They will not cancel your supscription

    If you are having trouble canceling your subscription with this company, you can call your bank and ask them to block the vendor. After trying to contact them for a customer support they stopped responding to my emails and have been taking money out of my account without my consent.
    The links to my profile to change my subscription do not work. It is fraudulent and missleading. I do not recommend this company.
  • Wonderful language learning app and service

    Lots of media content to learn a new language from, and so far I’ve been enjoying Lingopie very much. I struggle with learning Spanish and any foreign language really, but I feel like I’m finally learning something little by little the more I watch the movies and tv shows and study the dialogue. Thank yo everyone involved with Lingopie and keep up the good work and app updates!
