Honest Review of Doomersion
So, i normally am not one to write reviews, but i have pros and cons I want to share with this app. I know it’s still in beta, but this app has quite a bit of bugs regarding captions and loading screens. However, this app is also helpful for keeping track of language learning. I would suggest using this and other resources to supplement language learning, but not fully relying on the app for knowledge of your chosen language. Thanks!

Great concept, poor execution
Honestly I followed this since the beginning. I followed the creator advertising it for Japanese and thought it’d be GREAT for my chinese. Sadly though, it’s not very good. There’s a lot of low quality videos and the app itself has a ton of bugs. While it can be mildly useful, it’s still not as entertaining as TikTok. I understand the app is still new and stuff will change soon but because of all the bugs it makes it hard to enjoy and learn. I think the courses may focus more on popular languages (like japanese, Spanish, french) rather than chinese. Overall though, i continue to use.

I recommend
I love the idea of it! But it could use some tweaking. The videos are not the best quality and there are only a few types of video creators in my feed. I am giving it 5 stars because I would like to recommend this app to others because of its unique idea.
Great app! Just one problem
This app has been AMAZING for my German learning. I’ve been trying to find something that shows you entertainment for said language, and this was exactly what I had in mind! However, some videos automatically get dubbed by an AI to be in English with no way to turn it off. This may be out of your control, but if you can, try and have a setting where you can turn it off or have it not happen entirely. But still, I would recommend this app to someone who wants to learn a new language!

Lots of bugs
(This review wont post omd)
This app is great with the language learning but the video watching is so buggy, it gets to a point where sometimes I just cant watch a video at all due to it randomly not playing. I can name 17 things that have either glitched out, took so long to load, or have just stopped working from the 15 minutes of me being on the app. If you want people to stay on the app for longer than a week then you’re gonna need to hire better programmers and testers. Also the saving and rewatching feature doesn’t work because it doesn’t let me watch the video. No, instead it sends me to the LIKED PAGE. The search tool is also having issues with just breaking the app and not playing ANY video after you click on a video you have tried to search. Im sorry if I sound harsh but it gets so frustrating.

The best
Doomersion+pen and paper+10 minutes every 2 days. It almost feels illegal. I’m already speaking good enough russian to communicate with my friends after just 2-3 months. Still in the process of learning. But I love this. Youcan still learn perfectly fine without the ai video thing. The lessons alone are enough

Not what I was expecting
I like the concept of this app, but the execution wasn’t what I was expecting, so I wasn’t a big fan. This app was marketed as an app where you can scroll through videos in your target language for immersion, but in reality it was maybe 70% lessons. They ask you what level you are at and then proceed to teach you the alphabet, even if you’ve indicated you’ve learned that already. In addition, the lessons aren’t even accurate, and there’s no way to turn off the lessons. Also I set the subtitles to be in Hangul but they were actually romanized. The UI was good though, easy to navigate and look at. I just wish it was actually immersion through scrolling and not lessons.

Amazing app
Genius idea for an app. Works exactly as promised.
Most video features broken.
The video scan text doesn’t scan the videos, it keeps scanning the user interface of the app. The captions at the bottom are wrong. No related learning has been made yet.
Perfect scroll immersion
Does exactly what you need it to! No rubbish, just scrolling in the language you want at the level you want
Great app
Overall amazing app. I would like some things like a way for your feed and lessons to match your proficiency without having to go through all the lessons, but otherwise an amazing tool.
E
It’s really fun and I enjoy using it
Add Dutch please
Add Dutch
Good except one thing
Whenever I try to search something and I tap on a video it makes ALL videos stop loading and it’s just the first frame
love the app
the idea is super interesting, learning a lot of words
Keep going!!
Keep going!!
Exactly what I was looking for
I’ve been looking for an app like this for a while because I think it’s an effective way to learn a language using shorts. It has some glitches but I think I get what I want out of it for the most part
Videos zoomed in
I really liked the app but many video are zoomed in a little bit. You also can’t see who made the video and the video quality is sometimes bad. Great concept though.
if you want to learn a new language you need this
i haven’t used the feature to actually watch the videos, but the courses you scroll through are one of the only ways i’ve actually made progress learning languages, and it is FREE. great app
Writing hangul
I was testing out the app and when i get to the part where I write Hangul without the assistance it doesn’t let me lift my finger to do certain words and whenever i get them right it still fails me
I could be writing ㅣand it still fails me
I could be writing ㅣand it still fails me
Love it
Great app, more language options would be great though (polish, greek, turkish, etc)
