Good for simple practice

This app is great for simple practice conversations and is overall pretty convenient. I’m giving four stars because it seems like no matter how well or poorly you do, it gives you good grades in all of the sections at the end of the conversation. It’s unclear what the grading criteria is… But the practice is good.

Muito obrigado! Ficamos muito felizes em saber disso. Esperamos continuar ajudando você na sua jornada de aprendizado. 😊

Olá,bem…se tivesse como aprender gratuitamente seria maravilhoso tirando o início onde a gente se apresenta o resto é tudo pago,se fosse de graça e um mais avançado pago seria mais fácil por que nem todo mundo tem 59,99 por mês e muito menos trezentos e poucos para ficar pagando todo ano em um aplicativo já que se a pessoa tive estaria procurando um profissional físico não um app para celulares

Developer response excellent

I haven’t used the app enough to rate it, but I did find a problem early on and the developer jumped right on it and got it fixed. A great sign!

Toon forever to connect

I see a lot of comments talking about paywalls I get that OpenAI api isn’t free. But I never even got to try it out because it was stuck on “connecting” after a few minutes with no change I uninstalled

Hey, really sorry you hit this. We had a brief outage but it’s fully fixed, and we’ve since shipped infrastructure upgrades that have made the connection experience noticeably better. We’d genuinely love a second chance to show you the app at its best. Feel free to reach us directly at support@hanashiapp.com if you give it another go.

You have to pay to do most things

To do 99 percent of things on this app you have to pay 14.99 a month, which is insane. You basically can’t use it without paying. It’s a good app if you pay the money but for basically 15 dollars it’s not that good honestly

Hi Milo, thanks for the honest feedback. We hear you. Hanashi is built to give you actual speaking practice — real back-and-forth conversations where you talk out loud and get corrected, in 11+ languages. That’s genuinely expensive for us to run on our end, which is why the full experience is behind a subscription. That said, we offer a free trial so you can try everything before paying a cent, and we’re always working to make sure the value is there for people who do subscribe. If there’s something specific you felt should’ve been free, we’d love to hear it — it genuinely helps shape what we build next. Wishing you the best with your studies!

Feedback

A little thing. My first Japanese lesson ended with a suggestion for improved word ordering. But the rule it gave and the example it showed were opposite from each other. It’s not a great look for the first lesson.

App bom, porém com muitos bugs, demora demais pra iniciar uma lição, as vezes nem inicia, fica carregando a lição e não inicia. Mesmo sem você fazer a lição conta como se tivesse feito. Precisam melhorar muito.

Disappointed

I was excited to use this app since I wanted to focus my practice on speaking and listening. But after 1 lesson it charges you. Everything is stuck behind the paywall and you don’t even get to test out the app fully to see if you really like it. The $15 monthly subscription is way too expensive. Paying isn’t the issue, the high price is.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hanashi is focused on real speaking practice with AI, which unfortunately isn’t free for us to run — every conversation uses live voice processing and feedback systems behind the scenes. We try to keep the price lower than a single tutoring session, while giving learners unlimited speaking practice anytime. That said, we know pricing is subjective and won’t feel right for everyone, and we genuinely appreciate you giving it a try.

Finally found an app which i can actually have a conversation with a topic given. At the end it gives you feedback, writes you which part you should improve.. thanks to the person who made this app. It really is a big help for me! どうもありがとうございます。🌹

Hablar en japonés

Me parece una app excelente para poder desbloquear el miedo a hablar en japonés ya que es un paso muy importante en el aprendizaje del idioma y el que más miedo da, pero con esta app creo que se puede

It’s really good

I love everything about it. It thought me a lot in one day but I really hate how it cost a lot after one chat. Can you at least make it free for a month? And then start paying or some things are free and the rest cost money
