### 3/5 — OK.

*2026-03-12, version 5.9.0*

OK for memorizing words and phrases. Not good for understanding how the language works (conjugating verbs, format for sentences and questions, etc.) Not an easy way to exclude words/phrases I don’t need to know.

### 4/5 — Glitches

*2026-01-13, version 5.9.0*

Constant glitches, same word is repeated all the time

### 4/5 — F

*2025-10-04*

Все норм, купил, но почему то постоянно выскакивает «купите полную версию», хотя я ее купил???

### 3/5 — Что не так???

*2025-07-06*

При аудировании диктор съедает первый слог, учить невозможно!!! Оплату сделала полную. Это возмутительно.

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2025-06-09, version 5.9.0*

Other words are being said in the background

### 4/5 — 言葉の豊かさは美

*2025-03-13*

ステキな出会いに感謝！

### 5/5 — Большое спасибо!

*2024-10-29*

Большое спасибо авторам приложения! Очень легко и удобно с ним работать. Всего вам самого доброго!

### 5/5 — A phenomenal memorization, Italian app

*2024-09-10, version 5.9.0*

I love using this app to help me remember pronounce Italian words very good with pronunciation and it helps you recollect the words the app repeats the words enough for you to memorize it and also add new vocabulary. Words is repeating and you get to adjust which words you could have repeator not I find this app very enjoyable to use to refresh my using of the words and pronunciation

### 5/5 — Très complet

*2024-08-28*

Plusieurs modes d’apprentissages pour mémoriser, comprendre, parler, communiquer l’essentiel, s’enregistrer, comparer notre prononciation avec la voix de l’application.

### 3/5 — How do I turn it off?

*2024-08-19, version 5.8.0*

App sound won’t turn off even after I exit the screen. Have to restart phone to shut off. I don’t see anything in Settings to control this

### 4/5 — A very good interface

*2024-07-18, version 5.8.0*

A very tidy interface , rather good

### 5/5 — Learn Italian

*2024-03-15, version 5.8.0*

This is great for learning different languages ,the best ap so far ….

### 4/5 — Gute App zur Vertiefen des Wortschatzes

*2024-03-06*

Dies ist eine gute App zum Vertiefen des Wortschatzes. Allerdings würde ich mir wünschen, dass viel schneller neue Wörter eingeführt werden. Ich nutze die Funktion „Wörter für heute lernen“ und an jedem Tag werde ich die mir schon bekannten Wörter abgefragt. Leider gibt es in den Einstellungen keine Möglichkeit festzulegen, dass jeden Tag neue Wörter gelernt werden sollen. Und zwar nicht nur eins (was ich über den Punkt Lerntempo eingestellt habe) sondern sollte man wählen können, dass jedes Paket aus 50%, oder komplett neuen Wörtern gebildet wird.

### 4/5 — I love this app - it could be better if…

*2024-02-26, version 5.8.0*

there was a way to customize it in some way. I would like to word stack vocabulary that I’ve learned in ways that would build fluency. I also want to turn off the English audio part and just have the Italian word with its pronunciation - 

Thanks for your hard work!

### 5/5 — Hope they update for iOS when needed

*2024-02-08, version 5.8.0*

This is my go to app for learning/refreshing languages. 4 so far. 

I tried a few both for languages I knew and one I needed to learn and Nemo worked for me. 

I use the Italian version to refresh my basic Italian learnt at evening classes years ago before our annual trips. 

The Italian app may not have been updated for 5 years but happy to say it still works on my iPhone. 

Thank you

### 3/5 — Оплата

*2023-12-21*

Не могу купить полную версию. Нажимаю «купить» и никаких действий больше не происходит

### 5/5 — Итальянский язык 🇮🇹

Прекрасное приложение уже начала за неделю хорошо разговаривать, рекомендую

### 5/5 — Great Course in Italian

### 1/5 — Не связывайтесь

*2026-01-29*

Не переводите деньги за премиум версию. Деньги списывают и не подключают. Обратной связи нет.

### 1/5 — App enganoso

*2025-03-28*

Péssimo em tudo.

### 1/5 — Отвратительно , Я очень разочарована

*2023-05-13*

Заплатить почти 1000 рублей 
И получить те же слова , что и в бесплатной версии , очень обидно 
Не понимаю почему там горы обещают , а в итоге нет смысла покупать

### 1/5 — Крайне коряво

*2023-02-15*

Хотел приобрести полную версию 
Оплата прошла 
Деньги ушли 
А полной версией тут и не пахло 
Теперь ни денег ни полной версии 
Сделайте с этим что-то и дайте мне либо доступ либо верните деньги

### 1/5 — Unhappy customer

*2022-11-12, version 5.8.0*

I paid my money on Tuesday and site is still downloading.  I guess I can assume this site is just a scam to cheat people.  I know this review will never appear on your site but just writing it gives me some satisfaction.

### 1/5 — Useless without the articles

*2022-03-22, version 5.8.0*

This app does not include the articles when learning nouns.  You might as well not know the noun if you don’t know it’s gender.  This  makes the app useless

### 1/5 — Problème avec la langue de référence

*2021-09-21*

La langue d’origine est l’anglais 
Je ne parviens pas à avoir le français 
Pouvez-vous m’expliquer comment faire pour changer ?
J’ai passer un temps fou, j’ai l’impression d’avoir tout essayer mais je ne parviens pas à changer et mettre le français 
Merci par avance

### 1/5 — belka-312

*2021-02-11*

Ужасное приложение 
Сразу видно пошеники делали 
Деньги такие запрашиваются ужас какой-то 
А произношение не правильное

### 1/5 — バグかな

*2020-07-01*

金も払ったのにいくらやっても10単語ぐらいしか出てこないし色々やってたら表示と全然違う事喋り始めるし最低だ。最悪だ。
あとロシア語版みたいにイタリア語に英語訳で日本語無しに設定できて欲しい。英語とイタリア語を関連づけるためにやっている人はいると思う。

### 1/5 — 訳が合っていない

*2020-01-10*

昔のグーグル翻訳並みのイタリア語→英語→日本語になっていて、使えない。出てくる単語の半分はニュアンスが違う。

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-04-25, version 5.9.0*

I’m really enjoying this app!  It’s low stress and fun!

### 5/5 — Итальянский с Nemo

*2025-11-20*

Мне нравится! Можно заниматься домашними делами и слушать!

### 5/5 — Great for commute

*2025-11-07, version 5.9.0*

I listen to this app every day while driving to practice vocabulary. Can have words given in Italian or English. Great app

### 5/5 — Oportunidade!

*2025-10-18*

Agora, sim! Vamos aprender a língua mais bela do mundo!!!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-09-21, version 5.9.0*

So easy to use its like taking a class to learn

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-07-11, version 5.9.0*

I have tried other apps but this one is the best. I have learnt more words much faster. The app takes the time to help you learn and slowly introduces new words and phrases while still ensuring you remember all you have learned previously. You can adjust the settings to suit your learning speed. I strongly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Just like it says it’s easy and fun. Love it.

*2025-07-06, version 5.9.0*

Love it

### 5/5 — Learning Italian

*2025-05-01, version 5.9.0*

I like the ease of learning Italian. I can repeat words that I’m not quite good at saying.  Repetition is important to me as I have a hard time rolling my r’s but I’m trying to repeat as much as I can until I finally get it down. 
Great site and Grazie

### 5/5 — Italian

*2024-12-31, version 5.9.0*

Not bad for an app. Wont take the place of a class but not bad

### 5/5 — This is the way

*2024-12-13, version 5.9.0*

I’ve watched dozens of videos, tried all the apps and this app is getting results for me. My own experience says use this as a supplement to something like Pimsleur or Babbel (or something that gets you working on grammar and sentence structure) but this app is the only thing I’ve found that is getting me to learn new vocab, every day. 

In fact when I feel overwhelmed or question my progress I turn to this app and remember hey, I’m learning and memorizing [10] new words, every single day—and that’s not nothing. 

It’s brilliant and it feels underrated for how effective, reliable and to the point it is. Anki decks have a lot of mistakes and AI generated content and I’ve lost trust in them bc they’re usually made by well-meaning albeit college students and I don’t want to learn the wrong meanings, this is hard enough. With Nemo, it’s professional, polished and it has an intuitive layout. Highly recommend!
