Crashes
I love this app but recently every time I finish a story and click on the quiz, the app crashes. Please fix this it’s for a like every story. I paid for this app so not having access to the quizzes is frustrating.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD
I've emailed this company several times to see why I have been charged, despite not having an ongoing subscription. No responses. Their weblink also shows I have no subscription yet no one will answer me. I've had to go to contact my bank to try and clear the issue. DO NOT DOWNLOAD
Teaches incorrect language
Terrible app! The AI generated text is translated literally and totally incorrectly (grammatically fine but otherwise wrong). Use this app if you want to learn how to speak like some outdated Google Translate)

Please avoid using national flags for languages!
Using national flags to represent languages is a poor UI practice. Languages like Chinese, English, or Spanish are spoken in multiple regions. Pairing Chinese solely with the PRC flag, for instance, ignores non-mainland speakers like Taiwanese users and feels exclusionary.
Please consider replacing flags with plain language names (e.g., "繁體中文", "English") or globe icons to make the app more inclusive for a global audience.

Will not renew
Learning Polish but cannot get past “The Rain” on the Journey Route on my phone or IPad. Contacted the company several times and they are unable to fix the problem. It’s too bad, I like this app.
Too many bugs
This system is impossible to use on a Mac. It just does not recognize a user from the app and keeps trying to sell you a membership you already have
Won’t delete my account
I tried it out and it doesn’t offer traditional Chinese characters, so I tried to delete my account, and it just hangs. It never actually deletes my account.
Great App, But Premium Stopped Working
I absolutely loved this app. I purchased the yearly Premium subscription and used it every single day. It quickly became one of my favorite language learning apps, and I was genuinely impressed with it.
Unfortunately, my Premium access suddenly disappeared even though my Apple subscription is still active until May 2027. The app keeps asking me to subscribe again, and “Restore Purchases” doesn’t work.
I’ve been emailing support since July 7 and haven’t received a single response. It’s been over two weeks, and I have no idea what’s going on. I’m very disappointed because I paid for a full year and simply want access to the subscription I already purchased.
Please respond and help resolve this issue.

Bad audio
Ruins all audio quality on my phone. Which sucks when I want some background noise when reading,
Meu plano extinguiu antes data
Eu fiz um plano de um ano, começando por abril, e mês passado parou de funcionar, está aparecendo para eu comprar outro plano sendo que ainda não findou esse, até na Apple está constando a data até abril fo ano que vem, tentei falar com o dono ou com a empresa mais sem resposta, isso é enganação até porque se vc vai usar uns dias e depois não vai conseguir usar mais é mentira o pacote de um ano, tomem cuidado e não confiem nesse app pois eles não tem nenhum suporte. EU NUNCA MAIS VOLTAREI A COMPRAR.

Good content, poor UI, ill-thought out learning tools
The app is worth it for having access to graded level appropriate texts with clear audio, but it suffers from poor design, and learning tools that don’t really help with learning. It is very hard to re-listen to the sentence you just heard. The flashcard system is very poorly designed. The quizzes don’t really test language skills, but memory for trivial detail details. And numerous other small issues. Still, so far I find it worth it for the core content, though I feel frustrated every time I use the app.

4 Stars for a Good App that Could Be Great
The main purpose of this app receives 5 stars. It provides cultural stories and news stories for people to read. You can also have a story created for you based on your competency level, your desired length of story, and your preference for fiction or non fiction. You have the option to read it to yourself or have the app read it to you at your chosen speed in your target language. You can look up words you don’t know to get the definition and to save it to your glossary. You can also record yourself saying the word.
Now to the 3 star downsides of the app. The app doesn’t work completely. There are supposed to be a vocab matching game where you can practice matching words between languages for that story. It opens to a blank screen. It has never worked. There is also no mechanism for spaced repetition of vocabulary that they add or you add yourself. This app would be amazing if they implemented a vocabulary review section like on the Busuu language app where it lists all the vocabulary and has sections for strong and weak vocabulary that you can choose to review so that you don’t forget with time. There’s also a bug where sometimes when you had a word to
the glossary that it adds multiple cards of the same word. The app is also a little clunky for language learners who are studying more than one language, especially for the glossary. It doesn’t always keep the languages straight. Also, when you record yourself there is no feedback as to the accuracy of what you’re saying. Some of these are bugs and some are ways they could improve to make a good app great. The stories are already great. Just build up the app infrastructure around them to be just as great.

Fantastic app
Great app for learning with lots of great content. Using the full premium version which was a bit of a pain to sort out, but all good now.
Inutile: manque le genre des mots.
Inutile car en allemand dans le lexique le genre des mots n'est pas indiqué. Comment peut-on concevoir une application d'apprentissage linguistique sans une fonction si basique et cruciale. Et les textes sont vraiment bébêtes.
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the app didn't meet your expectations. We understand the importance of indicating the gender of words in German and will consider this in future updates. We also appreciate your thoughts on the texts and will look into improving them. Your input is really valuable as we work to enhance Beelinguapp.
Free version is horrible
I have Duolingo and was looking for something to allow me to read. Didn’t want the full version because I’m already paying a lot of money to get then grammar. Just wanted to read Spanish books. Was told this app had a decent free version. Was planning to try it out and see if paying would be worth it but couldn’t open one book without being asked to pay premiums

Falls short for Greek.
Sample content was extremely limited. I took a leap of faith and bought the year but so far am not all that impressed. I was intrigued by the reading angle and the promise of music. I could not find any music in Greek, which is why I got this app. I like the idea of learning via news snippets and the folk tales but these are very dry/ need to be supported with pictures and more audio samples during the vocabulary matchups, and when you select a final answer if you are correct it should show your answer with the equivalent in your native language so you can actually learn the sentences better. I will stick around to see if improves because it is hard to find decent language learning content in Greek and I like the concept. Not overly impressed at all though. It could be a decent supplement to another app but I doubt you could start as an absolute beginner with this app, you need more of a foundation to make this work.

Covers are AI slop
I personally hate the vibe that this app gives off. In it, all the story covers are AI and they are EVERYWHERE. Really begins to make you wonder if the stories are written by AI too. It’s just too uncomfortable for me to use.
Aplicativo horrível
Achei o aplicativo péssimo, paguei o premium e os textos travam e eu não consigo continuar a leitura!
Response from developer
We’re really sorry you’re experiencing this issue. Could you please send us a video or screenshot showing what happens? Please email the details to feedback@beelinguapp.com, so our team can look into it and help you as soon as possible.
Include Bengali Language
There are almost 280-290 million of people speaks Bengali. But it’s a matter of regret that still now you can’t include Bengali Language. Please add Bengali ASAP. Thanks.
