User reviews

Good idea but needs more

This is a good idea as an app for learning to speak more like a native. I tried Dutch, German, and French - the app struggled to even find the correct word.

However it doesn’t do any phrases and depends on you to spell the word correctly. Also general bugs include not being able to remember a word that has been typed in even when it has been scored. Also some of it is very computer generated speech patterns so you can’t match it even if you try.

May want it later but not worth it now.

Question

Would consider adding option to slow down the pronunciation?

Response from developer

That is a great idea, we'll work on it!!!

Very useful

As someone who teaches English as a second language, I find this to be a great app and a very handy resource. Working with the words--by listening, repeating, and getting feedback--really helps you learn the pronunciation. Great app! I highly recommend giving this one a try!

Hopeless app

Forced to watch annoying ads and the app does not work!

Response from developer

We apologize for displaying so many ads, the latest version should take care of that. as per the app not working, could you please elaborate a little more, we would be more than happy to fix any issues you might have.
