I tried out the live streams and they’re kinda silly. ### 5/5 — Best language app by a mile *2022-07-12, version 1.25.25* It’s incredibly brilliant, couldn’t fault it. however i really don’t understand how it’s completely free? is there going to be a membership/ subscription fee as there doesn’t seem to be ads. ### 4/5 — Subscription price? *2022-07-11, version 1.25.25* I downloaded the app. Love it but where are the price selections to choose for this app and how long is the free trial if any? In the setting under subscription it says to contact customer support, no email, no phone number, no way to know. I m i gonna receive an email before they charge my credit card ? Thanks ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-06-22, version 1.25.20* I rarely write reviews but I’ve finally found an app that’s immersive while being interactive and it doesn’t cost a million dollars. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Amazing App to learn *2022-05-31, version 1.25.5* Amazing app to practice any language, very useful, interactive videos and exercises. Very different and great way to make people engage more. The teachers are really passionate and very knowable. Love this app ### 5/5 — So far so good! *2022-05-29, version 1.25.5* I decided to try Chatterbug after someone recommended it to me. Thus far I’m really enjoying it. I would love for there to be more intermediate and advanced content with the native speakers peaking at a more natural (faster) pace. Definitely recommend giving it a go! ### 5/5 — Very entertaining *2022-05-26, version 1.25.5* This app helped with my procrastination 😭now I can focus when learning French and Spanish. Also i wonder if there’s gonna be more languages added? ### 2/5 — Deranged *2022-05-17, version 1.23.1* The guy who runs the German one is so intoxicatingly annoying that I can’t bear to use the app. It’s too overbearing, sorry. ### 5/5 — My opinion *2022-05-16, version 1.23.1* I found this application very useful for learning more and to be able to understand native accent ### 5/5 — Exactly what I need! *2022-04-27, version 1.22.2* I have never reviewed an App before because I was never fully satisfied. However, this app is absolutely what I need to get myself more confident to go back and speak French. The conversations they engage into are so much fun. They speak in a very clear way. I am so much enjoying all the hosts of this app! Thank you for having such solutions made available and for hopefully helping me bring back my confidence in speaking French ♥️ ### 5/5 — Melhor app da vida *2022-04-26, version 1.22.2* Eu estou aprendendo francês e é simplesmente perfeito, tem todos os assuntos, é dinâmico, rápido e objetivo. Merci <3 ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2022-04-14, version 1.22.2* I am intermediate level Spanish learner and having not used the language for several years I decided to return to it. The short videos are just so engaging to watch and easy to follow and the little multiple choice quizzes are fun. It’s no effort at all to do a few videos each evening and it’s a better way to unwind than watching rubbish on TV! Love this, keep up the good work :) ### 5/5 — I really recommend to use it *2022-04-14, version 1.22.2* It’s really encourages me to watch streams and videos. They are really cute and helpful. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-04-13, version 1.22.2* At first I was hesitant about trying a app for learning but I am so glad I did! My sister spent a YEAR at school trying to lean a French and I only started learning TODAY and yet I already know more than her!!! Vous êtes prêtes/prêts? ### 5/5 — Amazing resource *2022-04-10, version 1.22.2* It’s hard to believe this app is free with the quality of the live lessons and the ability to interact with the teachers! It’s a wonderful and invaluable part of my language learning journey. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Review *2024-11-13, version 1.29.10* Can’t sign in properly. I started to make an account but couldn’t get past the continue on the third page. ### 1/5 — It has lost its appeal *2023-12-16, version 1.29.9* I used to enjoy it a lot. But then they fired all of their video makers and made everything about scheduling very expensive tutorial sessions. You had me, and now you lost me. ### 1/5 — Too many problems *2023-08-21, version 1.29.9* I downloaded Chatterbug hoping to find another good resource for my Spanish language learning. At first I thought it was promising, but quickly discovered that it had too many problems for me. I couldn't learn a lot of new things from most content including the higher-level lessons. The Recommended for You videos never change. The sound effects used in some of the shorts are disturbing. The streak checkpoints only work once; if you miss another day, you lose your entire streak for good. The customer service is bad; I reported the Recommended for You and checkpoint issues and neither of them were resolved. The support agent who replied to my feedback about checkpoints was not nice either. Not worth it for me at all. ### 1/5 — App stoped *2022-11-03, version 1.29.5* I can't open this app for a week recently. Many days ago learn I German. Can you help me? ### 1/5 — Can’t get in *2022-05-24, version 1.25.5* When I try to create a password it keeps rejecting my choice. Even following the instructions. I will have to choose another way to improve my language. ### 1/5 — Unwanted contents *2022-02-21, version 1.16.4* Even though I selected my experience level as ‘Intermediate’, it shows me all the ‘Beginner’ and ‘Elementary’ contents when I don’t need them. Which makes it annoying for finding a right content. You always have to look out for which level it is. ### 1/5 — No Italian *2022-01-16, version 1.14.6* There is no italian option with this app. ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2021-12-30, version 1.12.9* Wouldn’t even let me open an account, gave up in the end! ### 1/5 — Not free *2021-08-26, version 1.3.3* Don’t waste your time on this app as soon as I login it asks me to subscribe. I don’t have money I am only in seventh grade. I was to learn Spanish before school starts, so I downloaded this app. I’m just gonna stick to Duolingo at least that app is free😞 ### 1/5 — Bad app-don’t install *2021-07-23, version 1.2.0* This app might be great but they don’t tell you it isn’t free until you’ve signed up. If your app isn’t good enough for a free version, then it’s not good enough. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Learning Tool! *2025-10-11, version 1.29.10* Chatterbug is a very informative source for learning practical German. I’m really happy with the amount of information they give you without making you pay for a subscription. ### 5/5 — My favorite app for practicing listening skills *2024-04-22, version 1.29.10* I'm so bummed this app isn't more popular becasue it's the best I've found for improving listening skills! The videos are divided up according to language level and subject matter. Unlike many language-learning apps, the videos cover far more than just travel essentials or recent headlines, but offer a whole kaleidescope of topics that really exposes you to a plethora of vocabulary. One of my main problems with finding listening materials is that beginner-level content can be, frankly, boring (how many times do you want to listen to stories about students traveling around the country, for example?), but these videos are fun and varied, and keep you entertained. Sadly, they are no longer producing new videos, but there are more videos in the archive than you could pretty much ever finish. I'm recently coming back to this app after a hiatus and am so glad to find it still up and functioning -- I only hope they never stop hosting this app because it's great! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2023-05-21, version 1.29.5* I love this app so much! I took German for 5 years and didn’t want to lose it so I downloaded this to practice hearing the language spoken fluently. Not only is it INCREDIBLY helpful but it’s also fun. It feels like being on TikTok or watching YouTube videos but in the language ur learning. I can pick videos that talk about German culture and see the difficulty of the vocabulary they’ll use in the videos to know what will be at my level. I wish more people knew about this app ### 5/5 — So great! *2023-05-08, version 1.29.5* The French is so slow and clear it’s perfect for intermediate learners! Obsessed! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal App! *2023-02-18, version 1.29.5* It is very rare that I leave a review on an App, but I had to leave you guys a review to celebrate just how amazing this App is! I am pretty much fluent in Spanish, but I want to also learn more Spanish in areas that I may not be familiar with. Your content has touched upon these areas too! I am learning the differences between Latin American and Spaniard Spanish, and new ways to say things! Each host/language specialist is so fun and engaging, with their own unique personality! You guys make learning a new language exciting! I am loving the Spanish modules, and I will begin learning French as soon as I have completed Spanish :). ### 5/5 — change speed *2022-11-04, version 1.29.5* That is wonderful for learning German. But I need an option to change the speed of videos. Sometimes videos for me ist too slow. ### 5/5 — Effective Language Learning Tool *2022-09-22, version 1.29.3* Chatterbug offers you a unique opportunity to live stream with educators or watch video recordings afterwards. I found Chatterbug an effective app learning German vocabulary from a beginner to fluent levels of understanding. The teachers are very good at presenting new vocabulary based around themes and everyday experiences. I would highly recommend this app if you are interested in developing vocabulary in your target language. Check app to see which languages are offered. Great work Chatterbug and especially to your talented and engaging instructors! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏 ### 5/5 — Outstanding app! *2022-09-19, version 1.29.3* I signed up for the instruction. All the teachers I’ve had have been very professional and helpful. I just started watching the shorts which are very good, and seem aimed at a beginner to B2 level. Wish they had more c1 instruction but I understand most demand is for beginner to intermediate levels. If they had this for Russian, I’d sign up in a second (hoping they add that!). I highly recommend this app, totally worth the money! ### 5/5 — The Best forever *2022-07-27, version 1.27.2* It’s the best in these ways: 1-it’s free, as free as the dentist samples. 2-it has deferent levels. 3-subtitle with all streams. 4-and many short videos to have fun with learning. In this app you will live in English language. ### 5/5 — French chatterbug *2022-07-21, version 1.26.2* Great app to improve your speaking! Streamers are perfect teachers, comedians, singers, etc I’ve also learned a lot about French culture🇫🇷 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
