Lừa đảo à. Bọn khốn ### 1/5 — LỪA ĐẢO TỰ ĐỘNG TRỪ TIỀN *2026-04-21, version 2.8.15* Lừa đảo ### 1/5 — Nie można szybko zrezygnować *2026-04-20, version 2.8.15* Brak szybkiej możliwości rezygnacji ### 3/5 — Refund Request for Incorrect Charge After Cancellation *2026-04-20, version 2.8.15* I downloaded the app that day and accidentally subscribed. I canceled the subscription on the same day. A few days later, I noticed that I was still charged in my bank account, even though I had already canceled and never used the app. I have submitted a refund request twice, but it was rejected. I would like to kindly request a review and a refund. ### 1/5 — Misleading Subscription System *2026-04-18, version 2.8.15* Cancelled the subscription on the same day I started the free trial — still got charged. This is misleading and feels like an intentional billing trap. The user does everything correctly and still ends up paying. Very negative experience. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Be careful with this app. *2026-04-18* 中文： 这是一个虚假的试用。我只试用了2分钟并立即取消，但仍然被扣款。请立即退款。 日本語： これは虚偽の無料トライアルです。2分間だけ試してすぐに解約しましたが、料金が請求されました。至急返金してください。 English： This is a misleading free trial. I used it for only 2 minutes and canceled immediately, but I was still charged. Please issue a refund immediately. **Developer response:** We're sorry if the trial terms weren't clear to you. The trial does auto-convert to a paid subscription as shown at sign-up, and on iOS it's a one-time offer per Apple ID — if you've used it before, you'll be charged immediately. For any refund questions, please contact us at support@brightmobileapps.com with your details and we'll look into your situation.

Instead of annoying hyping features focus on core’s quality - opened the updated app after a few months and do not have my progress there. ### 1/5 — The app charged my card automatically, without asking me to confirm the payment again. *2026-06-23, version 2.8.21* Charged twice without my clear consent I was charged twice in one month for this app — around $40 + $40, so about $80 total. I did not knowingly subscribe to this kind of monthly payment, and I did not clearly confirm or authorize these charges. The app charged my card automatically, without asking me to confirm the payment again. This is very expensive, especially for someone living in Ukraine. I contacted support and asked for a refund, because I believe people should know about these automatic charges before using the app. Be very careful with this app and check your subscriptions and payments. ### 1/5 — don’t download *2026-06-17, version 2.8.21* Terrible developers, they just want to make money. ### 1/5 — Ta aplikacja jest zła i niedopracowana!!!!!!! *2026-06-15, version 2.8.20* Wszystko w tej aplikacji się Wiesi i trzeba na wszystko czekać!!!! IA się tak więzi w tych dialogach że raczej proponuje wszystkim Duolingo sobie wykupić bo tu to strata pieniędzy jest 😩😩😩 ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-06-14, version 2.8.20* The app clearly advertised a 7-day free trial, and it clearly stated before I subscribed that the first 7 days were free. I had never subscribed to this app before. However, I was charged $87.11 immediately after signing up. I canceled the subscription right away and deleted the app from my phone. The charge does not match the advertised free trial ### 1/5 — Billed Before 7-Day Free Trial Expired *2026-06-07, version 2.8.19* This app offered a 7-day free trial, but I was charged before the 7 days were over. I had not yet decided whether I wanted to purchase the subscription. I would appreciate a refund and clarification regarding this charge. ### 1/5 — Misleading free trial and immediate charge *2026-05-30, version 2.8.19* Be careful. They are scammers. Never sign up for a subscription. You won’t get your money back later. Do not use their service ### 1/5 — spam *2026-05-29, version 2.8.19* its a spam, cant remove subscription ### 1/5 — หนูต้องการเงินคืน *2026-05-04, version 2.8.16* หนูใช้แอปไปแค่รอบเดียวจากการทดลองใช้ฟรี แต่หนูยกเลิกไม่ทัน แอปเปิ้ลหักเงินหนูขอเงินคืนก็ไม่ให้ผ่านทั้งสองรอบ หนูไม่รู้จะทำยังไงเลย หนูแค่ต้องการเงินของฉันคืน ### 1/5 — เสียเงินไปเยอะมากแต่ไม่คุ้มเลย *2026-04-30, version 2.8.16* ราคาแพงไปมากๆ 999 บาท ควรที่จะได้เรียนด้วยAiด้วยซ้ำ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente App *2026-06-23, version 2.8.22* Si eres constante esta app te podría ayudar todo está en tu constancia ### 5/5 — Оплата *2026-04-29, version 2.8.16* Как оплатить подписку ? По номеру телефона оплата не проходит , карты тоже разные пробую , пишет не верный номер карты . ### 5/5 — Hana *2026-04-29, version 2.8.16* สนุกมากแต่่ราคาแอบบแรงงแต่่เหมาะกันคนเพิ่งเรียนหรืออยากให้เก่งอังกฤษมากขึ้นเราแนะนำเลยยยสนุก ### 5/5 — Tôi đã muốn biết *2026-04-26, version 2.8.15* Và tôi đang tìm hiểu cách nào để biết ### 5/5 — เรียนง่ายเเละสนุก *2026-04-23, version 2.8.15* ลายเส้นสวยเเละสนุก ### 5/5 — Mudahnyaaa *2026-04-16, version 2.8.15* Belajar macam nih lagi midah dan menyeronokkan ### 5/5 — Top *2026-04-08, version 2.8.13* Używam Duolingo i też jest ok. Ale tu jest dużo łatwiej zapamiętać słowa i jest dużo więcej obcji na konwersacje, można ćwiczyć mowę. To tego zawsze przy popełnieniu błędu aplikacja tłumaczy na czym polega błąd i dlaczego i jak go poprawić. Jest mniej gry jak w Duolingo a więcej merytorycznej nauki. Słowa i zwroty są praktyczne i powszechnie używane. Przerobiłam dużo aplikacji i tej daje 9.5/10 ### 5/5 — ฝึกอังกฤษ *2026-04-01, version 2.8.13* Good ### 5/5 — Functionality of apps *2026-03-20, version 2.8.12* The app is quite user-friendly for practicing and there are functional to select what kind of topic would you like to learn. Good! ### 5/5 — Dialogue *2026-03-11* Application est vraiment top, juste bémol pas moyen d’avoir sur iPad la fonctionnalité dialogue et de transférer sa progression iPad vers iPhone, c’est comme si on avait deux comptes à des niveaux différents. Dommage pour ça. **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que l'application vous plaise. Concernant la progression, elle reste sur chaque appareil car elle est sauvegardée localement — votre abonnement fonctionne bien sur tous vos appareils, mais l'historique d'apprentissage reste sur l'appareil d'origine. Nous étudions la possibilité d'ajouter la synchronisation des comptes à l'avenir. Merci pour ton commentaire ; cela nous aide à comprendre ce qui est important pour nos utilisateurs. Si vous avez d'autres questions ou besoin d'aide, n'hésitez pas à nous écrire à support@brightmobileapps.com ou via Paramètres → Contacter les développeurs. Bonne continuation dans votre apprentissage ! 💫 L'équipe Bright English --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
