### 2/5 — Don’t buy it

*2026-07-03*

I only wrote a two out of five because number one… It’s locked lesson. You can only complete two lessons and after that. Pay check time. Number two.. The lessons are not good for a new beginner.
Of course the lesson teaches you new words but it doesn’t tell you the alphabets and its sounds. It would only tell you new words people would normally use in a conversation.
All of all, if you are a complete beginner. This app is not for you and if you like to pay for stuff then this app is for you

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience. We understand it can be frustrating to hit a paywall. Revenue from subscriptions goes directly back into developing the app and keeping it ad-free.

That said, we took your feedback about complete beginners to heart. You are completely right that learning the alphabet is a crucial first step. We are currently developing a new, entirely free Alphabet module that teaches letters and sounds before introducing conversational vocabulary. We appreciate your constructive feedback, as it directly inspired this new feature!

### 4/5 — Sign in

*2023-04-15*

If you sign into anything with google or Apple you are allowing your data to be collected. This is usually more than what is stated. Can you add regular email sign in or no sign in?

**Developer response:** "Thank you for your feedback! We've listened to our users and made significant improvements. The app now supports anonymous sign-in (no account required), so you can enjoy most features without providing personal data. We've also added a complete redesign with Journey-based learning, offline support, and much more. We'd love for you to give the updated app another try!"
