Wanted to learn my language, but the price turned me away
Our churches offer free in-person classes, and I was hoping to use this app for extra practice between lessons. I understand that developing an app costs money, but this pricing is hard to justify for that purpose.
Learning my language and staying connected to my culture matters to me. I wish there were a more affordable option for people who want to learn but can’t justify spending that much. I would reconsider if the pricing changed, but at these prices, I’ll pass.
Pay to learn
Sad
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. The Church helped make this project possible, but building and maintaining a professional learning app is not free. Development, teachers, content production, servers, support, updates, and advertising all require continuous investment. All revenue from the app is reinvested into developing and improving the platform, creating new lessons and features, maintaining the service, and promoting Aramaic learning to more people around the world. We also find it unfair to expect the people behind the project to personally cover these costs for everyone. If someone does not want to pay even a relatively small amount for the service, it is difficult to understand why they believe the developers, teachers, and contributors should be expected to pay those costs on their behalf. A sustainable paid model is exactly what allows us to continue preserving, teaching, and spreading Aramaic instead of relying on donations or eventually shutting the project down. We completely understand that a paid service may not be suitable for everyone, but calling it a “sin” simply because the project needs funding to survive is neither fair nor reasonable.
Great to begin with but the app seems unfinished
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! We’re already working on expanding the app, and new levels and learning content will be available soon. We’re also improving the exam/progress tracking to make the experience smoother. We really appreciate your support and patience!
