Golingo
Not knowing what language it is
Talk don’t type
A much better way to learn. Don’t worry about making mistakes, GoLingo corrects as you go. Highly recommended
No customer service
Why is the a1 conversation in the app not working ?
A1
this app says it has a a1 speaking , but it doesn’t work , I emailed support by no answer, had it worked by he review would of been 5 stars ! It would be nice if there was some support
Pretty dire
Did the first exercise and now it’s broken!
Very buggy app
Instead of adding content, work on fixing bugs. Just a suggestion. The content is ok, but accessing it is too frustrating.
Totally unusable
App has stopped working again saying error loading data, we couldn’t find any mission data for your account.
Please can you sort this out as you did previously.
Following my comments below, Jonathan from the developers team has been in regular contact and has worked hard to try and fix my problems, at the monument the app seems to be working well, although some of the translations are inaccurate. I’d like to amend my previous rating based on the excellent help given and hope that the app continues to work and improve.
Previous review - it’s stopped working and says something has gone wrong which has been reported to their engineers, this has been going on for over a week and the app is now totally useless, so my original review below now longer applies other than to say it hadn’t improved on my comments.
I really like the app, the interactions are good. However it’s twice restarted the lessons at the beginning and I can’t see how to go back to the level I should be on which is frustrating.
Also when giving answers the app doesn’t always give adequate time for you to speak and can mishear your reply when it is actually correct.

Good; still need feedback on the pronunciation
This is a pretty good app to practice pronunciation. The app will show you the sentence, then pronounce it for you, then you get to record the pronunciation, then it will give you a score. Sometimes, it would give me less than 100% (for example, 85%, 98%), but I couldn’t figure out which part of the word i didn’t pronounce correctly. Maybe the developer can turn on the button to show us which part of the word pronunciation was scored low by the app.
I liked the conversation part where you could interact with others in the virtual town, but the app just told me what sentences to say. Of course, it would be great if I could pick my own spontaneous sentences, then the app could adjust and have a true conversation.
So it’s a good app for pronunciation. It’s not so great for spontaneous conversation.

Not compatible with iPhone SE
This app is not configurable to work with a smaller screen, no matter how up to date the software is. Disappointed!
Response from developer
Hi there, I'm sorry you're having issues using golingo on an iPhone SE. Please could you send us a screenshot of the issues you're experiencing to hello@golingo.co.uk and our tech team will look into this straight away. Thanks for your patience. Chris, from the golingo team.

Hi yes I am finding the bite size lessons very good. However, I would like the opportunity to repeat the previous lesson immediately after finishing the lesson. Thank you.
An interesting app but lacking a few things to make it a good experience
Overall the app is good, I enjoy the speaking focus. I think speaking is a great way to become more comfortable with the language and the fact that it uses your microphone to really gauge how you’re saying the words is super helpful. However, there are quite a few pain points I have that keep me from rating it higher even though I do enjoy the app.
I have found that since my other language learning app mixes both North and South variants of Welsh, I’m not sure what course to pick, I wish I could get both.
Additionally, the interface is very confusing; if you’re coming back to the app after a long hiatus there’s not really an easy way to start back at the beginning of the course.
I really wish the app would let me tell it how to say my name. I keep getting marked down in my speaking when I’m pronouncing my own name correctly because the app decided it should be said in a way that is not how it is pronounced.
Finally, I wish there were more lessons to get you familiar with the words before jumping straight to speaking, or at least keep the words on screen. The lesson will say something like “say ‘My name is…’” and I’ll be lost because the app doesn’t really teach you vocabulary, it shows you the words in two short sessions before and I end up having no idea what to say.
The app has a lot of potential but for me it still needs polish in the above areas. If those were improved, I could see myself using it a lot more.

Great AI convos
Just finished an AI conversation about making a complaint at a hotel. How cool!
Has potential
The app has potential to be great, however the Maltese language speaker is way to fast, especially for a beginner level. She needs to be slowed down at least 50%, otherwise it’s very off putting.
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. It's really useful. We've just introduced Maltese so I'll feed this back to the team. Goodluck with the language learning and thank you for downloading golingo 😀
Mr
I have not quite used it.I think I need some time.But anyway it make me open my mouth.
Great for shy learners
I've always been too shy to join in with on-line Welsh learners discussions. As a result, my speaking skills have suffered. This app is a wonderful way to get used to hearing yourself speaking Welsh with absolutely no fear of embarrassment. It also has an AI component that generates conversations that encourage you to think "on your feet". I'm enjoying this very much and am looking forward to Doctor Cymaeg's participation in the near future. Diolch yn fawr!

This is a speaking app which has been brilliant for my French progress. Being able to speak everyday as part of my language learning has improved my pronunciation and I feel more confident speaking in my French lessons. The AI conversations are amazing! It’s worth subscribing for these. Highly recommend. 5⭐️

BEST APP EVER 🤩🤩
My son loves this app so much. He plays this every single day. It's improved his Spanish French and his German so now he can communicate with his pen pal Travis. Travis lives in Spanish.
THANK YOU GOLINGO ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉
