Immersive app

I think this app is great for anyone wanting to learn any language, particularly the romantic languages which come a little bit easier such as a Spanish. Currently I'm trying to learn Turkish, and I'm starting to understand sentence structure just by doing a lot of the practice over and over each day. I think it helps to keep notes of various vocabulary in a small journal so that you don't forget it later and the act of writing it down and even color-coding actually helps with the memory part.

One thing I will say, sometimes the microphone doesn't pick up certain words that I'm saying very clearly, and sometimes it will also tell me that I fully pronounce the word when I only pronounced half of it. I don't know if this is something that needs to be reviewed by the developer? sometimes it's slow to pick up certain words too and I am trying to pronounce everything to the best of my ability. but i'm going to stick with it and see where it takes me.

No trial

Very expensive with no trial period. Minimum 3 months for $69 which is fine if you like it and it functions well but with no trial there is no way to know.

Microphone issue?!

I’ve been trying to do the lessons when it comes time to do the speak portion. The pause button seems to hear my words, but it’s not acknowledging them, and it keeps asking me to retry.

Response from developer

Hi there! It sounds like you're having trouble with the speaking portion of the lessons, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. To help with the microphone issue, we recommend checking your settings. Try toggling the Auto Mic Activation on or off and switching the Speech Engine between Default, Deepgram, and Speechmatics to see if that improves recognition. If the problem persists, please contact our support team at https://help.jumpspeak.com for further assistance. We value your feedback and hope you can get back to enjoying your lessons soon!

Had High Hopes But Not Impressed

I’ve been using Duolingo on and off for years, but saw the ads for Jumpspeak and thought I’d give it a try. It has great potential, as others have said, but there are a lot of problems.

Firstly, it starts off by teaching you words and then has you pull words into sentences BUT half the words in the sentences you are supposed to create have not been taught. For me, I know a fair amount of them from using Duolingo, but for someone just starting, this would be very frustrating. It is for me as well as there are still words I don’t know and haven’t been taught in the lesson that I’m expected somehow to know.

Also in the ai chat, it seems to have a predetermined set of responses and unless you respond with what it expects, the responses don’t make sense. For example I was doing a lesson where I’m supposed to be chatting with a cafe owner to get their wifi and I have to buy a coffee to do so. No problem, but when I asked “can I use your wifi?” It came back with “what is the password”?

Lastly, in some lessons it is following a short story and you do a listening, then speaking lesson of the same story but in the listening version part of the conversation is missing so it doesn’t make sense.

I’ll be cancelling.

Absolutely Disgraceful Business Practice - Avoid

All, please be warned about how Jumpspeak operate.
They will renew your subscription without any notification, and if you don't spot it coming out of your bank account within 24 hours, they somehow think this is acceptable

App is poor, customer service is worse.

Questionable business practice at best, criminal at worst

False advertisement

First of all: paywall, if you don’t pay: you don’t use the app… ok I paid as they promised I’d be fluent in X time. No that is not true! I am now testing the app for about 3 months… not even close to being basic in the language I’m trying to learn! The app gets very hard suddenly and becomes a guessing game especially if you’re learning a language with different characters like mandarin! Big scam, I’d give one star and am filing a complaint to get my money back!

Review

User friendly and friendly like that I can do a lesson in minutes. Small chunks are easier and done in the most beneficial way.

Updates and Progress

Will there be another update fixing the progress for the app users who lost their completed levels progress? The app says repeat, showing that it knows I already did the lessons but the progress is saying a different story.

Too many bugs for the price.

This app is incredibly expensive for the amount of bugs. The social media ads make it sound more polished than it is. Many responses don’t make sense. The things you learn aren’t very useful in general conversations. Seems like multiple conversations were ai generated at once and have not been checked. Great concept but the execution is very bad considering how expensive the app is.

More Enthused

Yes my Journey has been long more on than off, today i looked around the app , i found other categories I did not see before , you can find categories that have your own interests and find a little joy , Fun , i am more Enthusiastic about learning, Yeeees Jumpspeak.

Average

The app has potential to be good but it’s too rushed & they speak the language you want to learn without having the explanation in English. It happens sometimes but not often. Not sure how I’m supposed to learn another language if I’m not being told what full sentences mean in my own language. I wish I didn’t pay for this app because I don’t use it at all.

Love it but wish the lessons were free like the AI

The AI is free but not the lessons of the lessons were free with say ads I’d five star this is perfect otherwise

Interesting approach

Have studied several languages - have a 384 day streak going on Duolingo - mostly Spanish - so excited to add another very different method. Vamos!!

Worst application

Anything good was said about this application is wrong. I had a subscription for premium for a couple of months and then the application was trying to promote me to premium AI, when I did that after payment for one year subscription, the application did not updated, and when I try to contact them, and after I filed too many times as I was, instructed nothing happened, and I was told that they will not respond to my requisition before three days.

Bait & Switch

I had difficulty signing in to the account. Customer Service is AI so nuanced problems are not solved. They also double billed me as I was in a spiral because my AMEX at first was declined but then approved??? The sign up process is not straightforward and they keep asking for more add ons when it’s difficult to figure out what is included. If they weren’t so greedy perhaps we can start the program and
upscale later?

As an update I did receive an answer from Jumpspeak. Was not sure if it was AI as the response was to the main customer service email. I guess they are robots??? I guess the app is programmed to oversell once a fish was on the line.

It took them several weeks to respond.

Pace

It lets you learn at your own pace and when you have time.

Not what it purports to be

Sadly the program is about the same as Duolingo. If you want to spend twice as much money to use the AI I’m sure it’s amazing. But they push how great the AI is in their ads and don’t really tell you how the people who excel pay extra for what they imply is in the program you are paying for. Misleading at best. Not a program worth renewing.

Headline: BEWARE: Non-compliant with UK Subscription Laws

I’m writing this to warn UK users about this app’s renewal practices. Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA), companies must provide clear reminder notices before a subscription auto-renews.

In my experience, Jumpspeak failed to send any mandatory renewal notice. When challenged, they initially claimed they didn't need to notify me, then later backtracked to claim I had "unsubscribed" from their emails. This is a violation of UK law:
PECR & GDPR Violation: Opting out of "marketing" emails does NOT exempt a company from sending "service" or "transactional" emails like renewal notices.
Cooling-Off Period: UK law mandates a 14-day renewal cooling-off period for auto-renewals of 12-month+ contracts, giving you a statutory right to a refund. Jumpspeak ignored this and tried to frame a legal refund as a "goodwill gesture."

If you’ve been charged without notice, do not accept their excuses. Demand your statutory refund and, if they refuse, report them to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) through Citizens Advice.

Uk law is on your side.
Plus if you’ve been hit this way you can also report them to Apple.

Your response is typically ridiculous. How come I asked Apple, how come I looked through Apple subscriptions and you weren’t there because you have to pay through jumpspeaks channels? How come so many other people on here are saying the same as me? Are we all lying but you are telling the truth? No, you are just trying to protect yourselves.

I did contact you through email and I have the evidence of your replies. You denied UK regulations. Do you wish me to share them on here? I suggest if you don’t you amend your reply with a simple apology!
You refused a refund. I had to argue the law with you before you had to capitulate when I threaten action.

Don’t worry I have not just reported you to UK authorities I have also reported you to Apple now.

UPDATE: Jumpspeak's reply below proves exactly how they mislead users. This is NOT "feedback" or a matter of "opinion"—you broke UK Consumer Law by failing to send mandatory renewal notices and denying my legal cooling-off period. You only refunded me after I threatened legal action and cited the regulations you denied in your emails. Do not call breaking the law an "experience" or "feedback" to look good in the App Store. I have already reported your billing practices to Trading Standards, the CMA, and Apple.

Gibberish

Good idea for an app but the execution is terrible. Relies too much on AI which can’t handle the task. I used it a couple of times for Greek - one time the conversation went round in circles like thank you, you’re welcome, I’m glad you feel welcome, thank you for your wishes etc

Another time I was trying to talk about food and it just started spitting out complete gibberish like this:

_Appetizers any_coly subsets door Lübelief verb M_asphys coord_iFinding basa_validly e...

Then the AI apologised that its last message was erroneous and nonsensical!

AI sucks! Find a human you can speak Greek with. Throw your phone in the sea. Be free.

App will not load

Downloaded (and deleted) app multiple times but it instantly crashes every time! You’ve charged my credit card but I want a full refund!!
UPDATE: you finally respond on October 28 (10 months later) and Apple only tells me today -21 Jan 2026 - 1 year later!! But there is no easy way to respond. Just refund my money!! Your app sucks !!!
FINAL UPDATE: Money was fully refunded.
