No exploration

I just finished the book and thought I would check out this app. The resources he gave in the book weren’t as clean as he made them sound (Anki). When I went to look at this app, all of the features are behind a pay wall. There’s no way to test if you even like it Before it asks you for $12 a month. That’s an insane amount of money for something you don’t even know to be legible.

Great system!

I’m enjoying making and using the flash cards and have hopes that the system will help me on my way to fluency. My reason for giving it 4/5 stars is due to the graphic nature of some of the pictures that populate. I will have to reconsider how my daughter will learn French as I’ve come across several pictures/actions that are NOT for children. And the pictures are a stretch to describe the words. Totally unnecessary.

Limited

Good for basic vocabulary. Stops helping with the generation of new words from sentences flash cards around 5000 words. Lots of trivial words. Inability to export content a big drawback. Very unlikely I will renew my annual subscription.

Keeping up

Fluent Forever is very fluid and friendly on the user experience. Enjoying it quite a lot, even though I’m early in my spanish studies. ¡venga!

Subscription failed

I downloaded this app and subscribed for a month, but the app never registered that I was subscribed. The subscription was visible and active in my apple subscriptions menu. I tried logging out and back in, still no luck. I’ve cancelled my subscription and deleted the app now. I was looking forward to trying it.

Doesn’t work on iPad

This app has been flaky for a while, but with the latest update it is no longer usable on my iPad Pro.

A core tool for my Spanish journey

I read the Fluent Forever book, then bought this app, and have gradually built up to over 2000 known words and phrases in Spanish. Vocabulary used to just slip out of my head as soon as I learned it, but with this method it sticks. I like that the app allows me to insert my own images. That way I can separately make an AI-generated mnemonic image that helps me remember even better, and then insert it into my flashcards for this app (for example, have an AI program make an image of a guy jumping over a salt shaker for “saltar” meaning to jump). I also use this app to memorize short sentences or phrases that reinforce grammar rules. To do that I separately make an AI generated image of a person saying the phrase in English in a speech bubble, and pair that with the Spanish sentence or phrase. Overall this app has been the bedrock of me building out my Spanish vocabulary, while I’ve used other tools for some of the other aspects of language learning.

Had to request a refund!

I had bought the fluent forever book because I wanted to learn Spanish. I really liked the book so I decided to try the app that was mentioned in the book. At first it seemed like it was going to be super helpful, from looking at the free version, so I decided to buy the monthly premium subscription. After I purchased the premium monthly subscription for 11.99 per month, I see a little tiny icon at the top that looks like a present and is a coupon code that would make it only 8.99 per month, only unfortunately I had already just purchased the same thing for 11.99! And on top of that, when I clicked the purchase button, it said that the purchase was successful and the app even started showing up under my subscriptions on my Apple account. However, nothing unlocked!! The app still kept requesting me to purchase a subscription!! Everything stayed locked up! I even tried reaching out to the company 3 different times with no response at all other than the automated response showing a ticket number and saying that they’re on it! But no actual emails from any real people to address the issue. After two full days with no response from this company I had to reach out to Apple support and tell them what happened and request a refund!! As of today it’s been 3 days since I had sent the first email to the company, and still no response. Don’t waste your money like I did, just hoping I can get it back, since the 11.99 I got charged literally didn’t unlock anything!!! Going to have to use a different app to learn Spanish!

Subscribed and Paid, but unable to use

I subscribed for one month on Sept 8, 2026, but the interface still show that I have to subscribe. I received the confirmation email from Apple, but still unable to use the premium features.

Response from developer

We are very sorry about this. A technical issue prevented the subscription from being displayed correctly in the app, but this has now been resolved. Please go ahead and update the app to the most recent version (released today), and log back in. Your subscription should now appear as active. If it still isn’t showing, open Settings in the app and select Restore Purchases. If you experience any difficulty with this process, please contact our helpdesk and we’ll be happy to investigate further.

Do NOT get this buggy mess!

The book is great so I was wondering if all the app hate was warranted? it is… The most important aspect of your app, the subscription, is broken. I made a monthly subscription, “purchase successful” message, app hangs, on restart no premium features, can’t subscribe, and I have no idea if I was actually charged though my subscription page says I am! I will be making a refund claim and DELETING this buggy mess

BEST LANGUAGE APP

It helps to understand if you read the book on the best way to learn a language. But Even if you don’t the videos are helpful enough. The app is easy to use and I’m rolling with my language.

Love this app!

The app makes it so easy to learn and speak other languages

Huge boost to my fluency but app is crashing

I have been using Fluent Forever for 90+ days and was boasting to my friends about how significantly it’s improved my language retention from learning sessions. However since Aug 1 the app has been crashing every time I attempt to launch it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling on another device with no success. I have reached out to support via multiple channels and gotten no assistance besides an acknowledgment of the issue from the Facebook admin. I have a year long subscription so I am not sure what my options are are this point. Please provide assistance or at least an update on the status of the issue.

Streak reset

I think the streak may be a 24hr timer. If it is it would be more useful if it was a day timer. I have seen the streak reset because one day I used the app at noon and the next day I used it in the evening. Small detail👍

Beware Dishonesty

Dishonest refund policy. My account page showed I would not be charged at the end of the month and I was. Support refused to refund me despite acknowledging the false information.

Re Dev Response: if the account information page was accurate I would have cancelled earlier. Refusing a refund on these grounds is simply acting in bad faith.

Great but weird crashes

I have enjoyed working with this app to learn Spanish but it’s happened when I’ve been working on spelling it’s crashed suddenly without saving changes. So I’ve had to recreate a few flashcards. Oh, well: more practice for me.

Suggestion

Hi, I love the app! Very useful and easy to use. I’m currently using it for Mandarin. Something that would make the app five stars is the possibility of creating different decks of flash cards. I have work related vocab and every day life/slang vocab, being able to study them individually would be invaluable. Thank you

Beware any free trials

Such a good Book…

I loved the Book so I thought I‘d try the App, but sadly ist just another cash grab. They try to upsell features through subscription (of course…) that you get for free when using something like Anki. Ironically the book states that making the flash cards yourself is not only fun but vital in your learning process. So according to the book the app is prevention you from learning properly…

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the book, although we're sorry the app didn’t meet your expectations. The app is designed around the same core principles described in the book, including creating personalized flashcards rather than relying on pre-made ones. Users still choose the words, images and examples that are personally relevant to them, while the app simplifies some of the more time-consuming parts of creating and reviewing those cards. We understand that free tools such as Anki may be a better fit for people who prefer to build and manage every aspect of their flashcards independently. The Fluent Forever subscription also includes additional guided content and features, such as pronunciation training, vocabulary tools and grammar lessons, which are not available in free tools like Anki. The intention isn’t to prevent users from following the book’s method, but to make that method more accessible and convenient within a guided app experience. That said, we appreciate your honest feedback and understand that this approach won’t be the right fit for everyone.

Best one yet

I’ve used different language learning courses and apps over the years. This is the best one yet. I read the book 1st and everything he said sounded right. Haven’t used the app for a while an experiencing what he was talking about and I’m very pleased with. I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning a new language.
