### 5/5 — 귀가 뚫려요

*2026-08-01*

꽤나 큰 도움이 되고 있습니다 :)

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-06*

I can not watch any contents anymore. No answer to my inquiry.

### 4/5 — あえて辛口に書きます

*2026-06-29*

シャドーイングとクイズ形式によるディクテーションの学習効果が高いのは言わずもがなで 、英会話や謎のオンライン教育にお金を出すなら、このred kiwiを毎日やっていればいいのは間違いありません。同期でプログリットなどの高額スクールに課金している人もいますが、全然会話力が向上していないことが多く、学習のプロセスはやはり自分で構築し、耳を鍛える為にこのようなシステムに課金するだけでよいということです。
なのでred liwiのシステムや金額には大変満足していますが、最大にして唯一の欠点は動画のバライエティーが少なすぎる点です。特にフレンズなど古いドラマ動画は、表現も時代遅れなものが含まれますし、政治や国際情勢などのニュース、ドキュメンタリーなど学習ジャンルに幅を持たせて欲しいです。パワーパフガールズのようなアニメーションも含まれてるのは良いですが、エンタメ番組だけでなく、インタビューやニュースなど時事に絡んだものも用意して欲しいです。

追記
コンテンツが拡充してきており、ありがたいです。
また、コンテンツの制作スタッフがバグ報告や内容の修正依頼報告に対して、かなり真摯に対応してくれるので、その点も非常に良いです。
価格もリーズナブルですし、やはりおすすめできるアプリです。

### 5/5 — とてもよい

*2026-06-28*

操作に最初は戸惑うかもしれないが、慣れたらとても勉強しやすい。そして、教材聞いてても実際に使えるようにはならないと痛感できる・・・

### 2/5 — あえて辛口に書きます

*2025-10-29*

### 4/5 — 無料としては満足

*2025-08-13*

半年近く、気が向いたら程度で続けてる。無課金でのレビューです。
毎日、3つの動画が表示されるので1つを選んでリスニングできる。速さを変えたり、自分のコピーイングを録音して聴いたり、出てきた単語の辞書を見たりもできます。自分はやる気がないけど他にもできることあると思う。
動画は難易度以外はたぶんランダムに選ばれる。自分の興味ないジャンルも差し出されるけど、単語に触れたり知識の幅が広がったりでかえってありがたいかも。
過去の仕様は間違えなければいくつもリスニングできたらしいけど、今は日に１つの動画限定。代わりにどんなに間違えてもだいじょうぶ。
無課金でもどんな動画があるか検索することはできます。
アップデートはわりとこまめにあり、不具合対応も早い。以前、不具合があって問い合わせたら回答もあって次のアップデートで治りました。

### 4/5 — 전부 유료로 바뀐게 아쉽네요

*2025-08-13*

3년전부터 쓰던 유저인데 오랜만에 들어가보니 전부 프리미엄으로 바뀌어있네요. 하루에 1개 무료 영상 볼 수 있다더니 어디서 보는지도 모르겠고ㅜ 
그 전까지 너무 아낌없이 줬기에 유료로 바꾸는게 이해가 됩니다만 유료로 할거라면 앱 자체가 불편함이 없어야한다고 생각합니다. 무료일때는 불편해도 넘어가던 것들을 유료가 되면 유저는 꼼꼼하게 평가하게 돼요. 모르는 단어 모아두는 단어장도 제대로 없잖아요ㅜㅜ 네이버 단어장에 연동시켜두시던데, 창 새로 열어서 네이버 로그인하고 들어가야하는 불편함을 누가 감수하겠어요. 또 북마크해뒀던 단어나 문장을 공부할 수 있는 랜덤퀴즈 컨텐츠도 없고요. 영상 빈칸 채우기만으로는 공부가 다 되지 않는 것 같아 유료결제에 손이 선뜻 나가지 않는 것 같습니다.

### 1/5 — なぜなぜこんなにもレビューが高いのか分からない

*2025-07-15*

私は普段面倒くさがりなのでこういったレビューとか全くもって書かないのですが今回ばかりは書かせてもらってます。なんでこんなにもレビューが高いのか不思議でならないです。ダウンロードしてみたはいいものの課金しないと全く、何一つ聴けないし利用できません。全てプレミアム会員限定使用です。しかも課金も年間制のみ6000円。そのうえ30分以内のみ半額！！という催促までして来ます。こんなアプリひとつに6000円もかけてられないですしお金かけるくらいなら私は他の無料アプリを利用します。とにかく私には合いませんでした。参考になると幸いです。

### 4/5 — 検索条件と復習

*2025-04-05*

最高に気に入っています！
学習教材の綺麗な英語と日常会話の少し崩れた自然な英語をつなぐのに最適なアプリです。
ニュースや映画などいろいろなコンテンツが教材でとーっても楽しいです！！AEEは長すぎ＆早すぎると感じていた私にとっては最適＆最高アプリです！
ただ検索条件が保持できず、毎回他のレベルや興味のない歌などが上位表示されるのが残念です。設定した条件を保持して、そのコンテンツを優先表示し、該当する新規コンテンツがない時にだけ他に行けるようにしてほしいです。
また、復習が直近コンテンツのやり直しだけなので、であれば学習済みコンテンツを一覧にして、もしできるなら、その時の正答率を表示してくれると、そこから自分で復習できます。というのも、もともとセンテンスの数が少ないので、あえて復習センテンスをピックアップしてもらう意義が少ないからです。
なお、とてもいいアプリなのに、閲覧数が数百なのは何が理由があるのでしょうか？グローバルアプリとしては少ないので、何か問題があるアプリなのかと不安になります。

### 4/5 — 良い！けどアドバイスが微妙

*2025-02-08*

私は過去に1年アメリカ留学経験があり、簡単な日常会話や、単語のリンキング等の理解はありましたが、やはりドラマでの超早いネイティブの英語にはなかなかついていけませんでした。
しかしredkiwiの動画を何回も観まくってるうちに、発音が殆どされないものや、話者のクセ、よくある言い回し、等このアプリを通じて学ぶ事ができて、リスニング力がアップしました。元々相手が話し出す時の1番最初の単語が聞き取れなかったけれど、今は結構正確に聞き取れます。

また、自分の発音もその場で録音し聴く事が出来るので、自分の発音を客観的に確認できるのが良いです。

多種多様の動画があるし、それぞれの動画も1,2分の長さのものが多くて、続けやすいです。途中で辞めても続きからできるし。

非常に良い教材だと思います。

ただ、1点残念な点について、
レッスンは動画で流れる英文を聞き取って、単語を順番通りに選んでいくのですが、勿論ミスもするわけで、純粋に会話スピードが早過ぎて聞き逃しただけの単語(and とかa とか)なのに、その単語が「自分の苦手な単語」としてみなされてしまうのが、マジでいらない機能です。
どうでもいいものばかり反復学習させられて鬱陶しいです。

本質的な問題はそうではないはずですので、もう少し人がミスする部分や原因を体系化してそこを反復出来るようにしてほしいです。よく使われる特定のフレーズや、聞き間違えやすい単語を集計するとか。

また、より英語学習が捗るように、単語単体での意味の表示ではなく、フレーズ(イディオム)で判別、意味を検索できるようにしてほしいです。

細かいところを挙げるとキリがないですが、とにかく膨大な量の動画とスクリプトと訳が同時に観られる点においては非常に良いアプリです。

価格も1万越えは高い気もするけど、(セールもある)何本も長編のドラマや映画観て自分でスクリプト書いたり、巻き戻したり...とかの労力考えると、こちらのアプリの方が効率が良いので、有意義な投資になるのではないかと思います。
