User reviews

You will not get anything they advertise

I got this a couple of years ago and had really high hopes. It worked for a while and I really liked the videos they had. But they advertise everywhere that you can upload any video/movie/podcast and will be able to study with it. But, when you are in the app, their FAQ says that you are only able to use their selections. It constantly has bugs, and when you try to talk to customer support, you will only get a bot (and sometimes not even that.) During the 2-ish years I had the app (holding out hope for things to get resolved) I was unable to even access my account for about 6 months, and they never gave me a refund or even acknowledged it again. The flash cards are constantly wrong, so if you don’t have a foundational knowledge in your target language, you will get the wrong information. They also say that you will get speaking practice with the app, but I have only been able to use that feature once or twice in the time I’ve had the app. And that isn’t even counting the weird AI updates they’ve started forcing on users and cause even more bugs and glitches.

This sucks

You have to subscribe to get into the app an you have to do the 2 week trial and I can't do that so I just can't have the damn app, you leave no choice and force people to do a 2 week trial by I'm unable to even subscribe to apps so I just can't have this a all!

A Lot Better (Spanish)

I like it overall.

The Spanish content is really well-developed and up there now.

Can't speak for the other languages.

But Spanish draws on all the movie, Pixar content, our culture, and the accents are really cool.

I love the mostly clear and educated Mexican accents and videos on Mexican culture.

I passed on fluentU years ago and even just a few months ago.

But, now I'm in Ukraine, and wanted to reconnect with a deeper understanding of the language.

It's not too bad. Gotten better at this moment with the user experience on fluentU.

I just hope they keep it this way and not make any deleterious changes.

Does it works on mobile phone ?

I just looked at this app and at the first glance everything looks great in the web version however when I am trying to see videos on my phone app it doesn’t work and it is really frustrating.
