Don’t waste your time with this app
I’m unable to use the app due to “ network issues “ It’s been going on for months. I have made several attempts to reach tech support but no one has responded. I don’t recommend this app. I’m sure there are plenty of others that are just as good or better. Save your money and the headache.
Great emerging app for intermediate learners
I am going to sign up this app has real potential. I have or tried about every Spanish app available ( will not list them)
Pros :contextual vocabulary
Pronunciation, reading comprehension, written and verbal conversation
Cons: I would not recommend this for a beginning student but for a student with intermediate skills.
AI is exact and unforgiving for written errors and translations but workable.
I wish I could advance the pronunciation section to my level instead of reviewing individual phonemes.
But I would recommend this app to serious learners please be able to sync to other retro save my progress.
Thanks Michael great job !

Touches a lot of bases
I really like this app. I feel like I get to practice being more well-rounded than just vocab. Needs to be resized for the newest iPad Pro, because I can’t see hours learning, or words learned without it being cut off in the top left corner.

Response from developer
Hi Preed, thank you for the very kind review! I am currently working on improving the syncing across devices along with improving the testing at the beginning of the app to allow you to skip things you have already learned. As a quick fix for this, if you hit the menu icon in the top right of the app and go to the settings page you can click on 'Adjust Lessons' and mark things such as 'Spanish Sounds A-H' as already learned. Thank you for all of the great feedback, I'm glad you're enjoying Fluency!
I like
I took my first lesson. I like this app a lot. The narrator needs to slow down a little bit. She speaking way too fast in the first 100 words test that I took other than that there’s a few little bugs, but you should be able to fix those and I think I will get ansubscription.after my seven days are up. I also hope you offer a lifetime subscription that would be nice.

entirely behind a paywall
entirely behind a paywall dont download
Server?
The first few days after charging me and now the app won’t load… just great
Sent a question no answer
I signed up for the free trial. I sent the developer a question via website never got a response. I wanted to know if this was Latin American/South American Spanish or European Spanish. Canceled free trial and deleted since I never got an answer. I only mentioned this because I seen a couple of other reviews relating the same problem. Otherwise this app looks pretty good and the price of a subscription wasn’t bad.

free 🤷♀️
one day it’s free for life but next day it’s not 🤷♀️. why??
Bad speaker
Voice in this app is of a lady that sounds like a robot, it is not fluent in nature…
And there are no settings available within the app to change any of this….

impossible to even set up on a normal sized iPad
won’t let me pass the “you can do this [name]”. there’s no next button and it won’t swipe left.
Doesn’t work properly
The top and the bottom of the screen is slightly cut off. For the vocabulary section it gives me a quiz (fill in the blank), but hasn’t taught me the vocabulary so I just put in the English word and it marks it incorrect and gives me the right answer. It looks like the bottom blue section should contain the word but it doesn’t. It contains a blank just like the top section.

Impossible to learn
heavy use and reliance on AI. could be great, but i know zero spanish. the lessons just make you do a single word and then breezes over it… not helpful in the slightest. sigh. good think i got the lifetime for free.
Would be great if it wasn’t full of errors and glitches
Every few words has either a wrong definition or wrong example. I strongly suspect it’s because they’re only using AI to cone up with the “fill in the blank” words and their definitions, and leaving it up to the users to let them know what needs correcting. It’s super frustrating.
Also, the app just goes right back to the home page every minute or so, more and more often the more you use the app. When you return to what you were doing, you’re not doing the same thing/your progress is gone. I had to type my sentences to the AI really fast before it took me back to the homepage. The spelling thing alone was annoying, but this glitch destroyed the usability of this app causing me to cancel.
Lastly, the conversation tool with the AI was good, but I wish there was an option to speak with a Latin American AI, as that’s the version of Spanish I’m trying to learn. It was a little bit tiring being asked over and over about Spain.

Response from developer
Hi Fred, this is Michael the founder and developer of Fluency reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the app. These specific bugs you reported are the first I have heard of them. I have been unable to reproduce them on my own and have not had any users report the same thing. I would love to get whatever may be going on fixed. If you could reach out to me directly at michael@thefluencyapp.com that would be great. If you could provide some screenshots, more details, and also some details about the device you are using for the app that would be even better, thanks!
Glitchy
Content seems ok, but I can’t get past the first lesson because the conversation tab won’t advance despite me using all the words it wants me to. Oh well.
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for the feedback. I'm writing to let you know I have fixed the conversation bug that you were seeing. I encourage you to update the app and give it another try. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at michael@thefluencyapp.com with any other issues and I will be happy to help. Thanks!
Great app!
Really enjoy using over the other language learning app

How to put away the payment screen
There is no way to go further from the payment screen or it’s just invisible. Get your one star with it😊
Doesn't work properly and no support
Whole "AI" thing doesn't work properly. It's just stuck on one question and you can't do anything. You can't reset it or do anything. But worse thing is, you get no support, they just ignore your emails.
Great for learning Spanish
This app lets you practice different aspects of language learning.
It is immersive, interactive, provides feedback on your progress and allows you to set challenging and realistic goals.
It leaves other apps way behind, yes I am looking at you 🦉.

Best customer service
I love requesting features and then seeing them in the app the next week. Fluency is quickly becoming my favorite language learning app.

Happy to bring great ideas into existence, happy learning!
