  • Great practice

    I enjoy the leveled articles and it’s great practice to refresh my French!
  • Seems good but free version limited

    This is well made but the free version is very limited. Even Duolingo allows you to learn without paying. $70 a year for this app just to read short news articles doesn’t make sense. I can simply look up French articles online and practice the same way. The free version should have at least 1 new free story a day for your learning level. I am A1 and just want to play with reading something I know I can have a chance to understand. I’m not paying $70 a year to read a paragraph each day.
  • Good but Limited

    I would rate 5 stars if not for the high subscription cost. It’s a thorough learning course. You get 6 free articles that will read you the script, break down the individual words and review how the grammar works. This would be my favorite learning tool, but again, I’m not willing to pitch out seventy bucks every year for full access.
  • Very Helpful

    I haven’t paid for the full version yet, but I’m finding the stories helpful with my listen skills. I’ve been using Duolingo for several years and I’m finding these two apps, along with Dr. French, are complimenting one another very well.
  • First-timer

    One of the best, most organized language apps I’ve come across. I have used books with similar methods (read, listen, grammar sidenotes down edge of page), but here I especially like that you can review words by a simple touch, hear them separately, see entire conjugation tabs. Even slow the reading speed down! Fantastic.
  • Très bon.

    C’est le meilleur pour essayer la lecture!
  • Great but for one annoyance

    I just started using this app to supplement my French weekly French lessons and I’m finding it extremely helpful. The stories are interesting, but not too deep, and each level is represented accurately. And the design is super clean. My only gripe is the annoying Bell chime that goes off every time you get a correct answer. I don’t see any reason to disable that and there’s not even a way to lower its volume. Please provide an option to disable that chime or at least give us the ability to lower or mute it. Much appreciated.
  • Very nice app

    I would have given 5 stars if I could select single words or multiple words to translate. Or if I could select and copy, I could use my own translation.
    That withstanding, I rate this app a 5 and highly recommend it.
  • Surprisingly sophisticated

    I’m trying to learn French quickly. I do Duolingo, Mango, listen to French radio. This app feels like the perfect companion for reading comprehension. The apps features work great and it’s full of stories and good grammar notes. Feels like a lot of work went into the content as well as the tech. Highly recommend.
