The Greek spellings of English words!!!
The Greek spelling of English words are so funny!!! This is a fun way to improve my vocabulary and pronunciation. I’m reading aloud and practicing the new words.
Great app to learn French
All the short stories are interesting and easy to read, perfect for me!
A few days in
Great app can’t think of anything to make it better besides add Afrikaans Hopefully all the languages are as good as Norwegian also great choices of languages
Good stories!
This is a good app with excellent customer service. You definitely learn a lot!
So far so good
So far so good 😊
Too slow
Massive pause when you tap words makes it frustrating to use.
Perfect app to reinforce and learn new vocabulary
Great way to add vocabulary and touch up on my German. I've struggled to find a good app that allows me to quickly reinforce my fluency and easily add vocabulary that I have forgotten over the years. The app makes it easy to look up an unknown word and add it to a list for further review. Since you are reading a story it also makes it easy to understand stand a word from context and increase your vocabulary. Love the app!

Misleading Free Trial - Charged After Canceling
I signed up for a seven-day free trial with the clear understanding that I could cancel before the trial ended and would not be charged. I canceled after just two days as the app did not deliver what I was hoping for, but was immediately charged anyway. When I requested a refund, it was refused.
A free trial should mean exactly that. Charging someone who canceled within the promised trial period and then refusing to issue a refund is unacceptable. Very disappointing experience, and I would caution others against signing up.

Scam subscriptions
They get you to sign up for one price, then they charge you a subscription price that is extortionate. Got charged €60 for 3 months of use. This is beyond a joke. The app is not even that good.
Crime and Punishment
A very useful addition to learning Italian tailored to my elementary level: reading, and listening to how words are pronounced authentically is a great way to learn alongside the necessary language lessons covering grammar, vocabulary etc.
I like the fact that I can practise listening to a book repeatedly in combination with reading its text.
A great way to firm up fluency of the language, as well as providing access to titles I’d like to read if they were in English, my native language.

Charged without asking
I downloaded the app thinking I could learn a bit but the only thing I learned is that they charge you for premium without asking after opening the app for the first time. No log in no nothing I only realized after creating an account and looking in my account settings.
Muy útil
Este es mi nuevo app favorito. Between tailoring hooks to my reading level, defining and saving words with a click, to slowing down the narrator's speed; this app is a wonderful tool for all levels of Spanish learners. I've been recommending it to anyone trying to learn a new language.
No regrets, except…….
I wish I had found this sooner. This is the best way to learn. I’m reading 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea now and it’s great. I can just tap a word I don’t understand and get the translation and the pronunciation. I can slow down or speed up the audio so I can keep up.
Cost
I love the concept but I can’t afford it. I would rather ads. Also there is only Brazilian Portuguese. I want Portugal Portuguese.
Great App!
This is genuinely helping me learn French. I’m A2 level and I can understand the stories and any words I don’t quite get I can tap on it and get the translation. I’m very quickly expanding my vocabulary and even starting to pick up the correct words used in the different tenses. Would recommend!
Great app
I'm really enjoying the app! Please consider making the voice sound more natural and adding more voice options, like a female voice for audio books
Very helpful
This app is great for learning a new language. You can tap on words you don’t know for a direct translation and you can either read or listen to the story. Some of the stories are boring but most are interesting and entertaining. There are several to choose from based on your preferences

Excellent app! I can use it on my IPad, IPhone and Chromebook!!! It’s a fun app!!
Not a way to LEARN language
I’m an early beginner to Czech, and look forward to reading in my new language. While this app does translate word-for-word, it doesn’t teach anything, and I found a critical error in the third sentence! In Czech, verbs starting with ne- are negative. Vim = I know, nevim = I don’t know. Mluvim = I speak, nemluvim = I don’t speak. Asking the app to translate neměl gave me “had”, not “didn’t have”, which changed the story entirely.
It would also be nice if it would translate a sentence at a time, rather than a single word. So early on, I want to hear it in Czech and read it in English. Ideally, I would prefer to read a section and translate it in my head, then confirm my comprehension and pronunciation with a spoken translation.
All that said, finding Czech resources is no easy feat, and I several days per month in Prague for work. Although English is widely spoken there, I’m pleased to find another resource to help improve my Czech communication.
