    🫣 Thank you for your review! It means a lot 🙏
  • Cute! Great for learning actual conversational German

    Glad I downloaded. Great way to learn new phrases. They’ve got a cool conversation practice feature and I love that they’ll tell you how your pronunciation is.

    Thank you for your review! 🙏
  • Great App!

    Between listening to podcasts and watching TV with subtitles, I find Kippy seems the most effective to help me learn how to say colloquially, any thought I have in my head, and then be able to practice it out loud with word-by-word rating system.. really helpful, especially to hone in on the harder sounds. The conversations with the AI are almost starting to get me to flow.. the words are coming faster and faster, and it has been relatively little time since I first got the app. Awesome design!
  • Good

    I’m in the first 2 minutes and it’s ok
  • So far so good!

    I like your approach!
  • Bothersome

    Anyone who keeps interrupting me to write a review gets a one star. And it interrupts me again, so I guess I add to my existing glowing negative review. Let’s see if it does it again.
  • Starting

    So far this investment is worth every penny as I embark on this personal journey to learn Espanõl on my own. Stay tuned cause bilingual Sully is coming. 🙏🏾

  • Almost, but bad voice recognition

    Let me first state the positives:

    1. Prompts and conversation feel natural

    2. Responses are very specific and quite impressive

    3. Lots of categories for a variety of situations

    Here’s the problem:

    The voice recognition software is pretty terrible if you’re not a native speaker. I’m an intermediate Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and when I speak to others, I’m relatively understandable. Unfortunately, the voice recognition software gets what I said wrong almost 80% of the time, and it’s guesses as to what I said make very little sense.

    Before one of the developers can ask, yes, I do know how to delete a response and re-record it. After trying 3-5 times, and then each time it gets it progressively more incorrect, I can safety say that doesn’t fix the issue.

    Not sure how difficult it is to get the software to better understand non-native level pronunciation better, but that’s what it would take for me to come back and use it. I might just consider trying to find a person to practice with instead.

    Thank you for taking the time to write this review, Ejefolson! Re-recording every message must be a frustrating experience, it was intended to only fix an occasional error. Are you up to helping us fix it? Please email us at support@kippy.ai, and we can test your accent on different recognition models.
  • So far so good

    I signed up for a month. I figured I need at least a month to really know if I like it and if it works. I’ve done it for about 30 minutes now. It really jumps right into it. No idea what it’s saying. But I put translation on so, I’m starting to get the hang of it. And it gives you ideas of what to answer back which I like. Again, the verbiage is still pretty advanced for me, but in real life, I feel like this is how people would talk. They would just start talking so it’s better mess up here than in real life.

    Thank you for your review, Natii. Yes, Kippy can get chatty, but keeping up with the conversation can be challenging. Did you know you can also create your own response (swipe right on the first suggestion) to learn a phrase you'd like to respond with. For even easier vocab learning, try the Game topic. More topics are coming soon!
