$100 just to try?!

I couldn’t even try this app unless I wanted to fork over $100?! Ridiculous.

Could be better

I love the thought of this app. And I almost bought the subscription but it seems like it doesn’t want to run properly or at all. I have an iPhone 17 pro. Majority of the time it won’t pronounce the word or it will just not do anything except buffer. I can’t watch the video reviews because they won’t load. And it’s not my internet for sure. But please fix!! And I will come change my review

Sucks

I keep saying the word correctly and it keeps marking it incorrect. I wish we could move past it.

New Revert

New to Islam but I’m so excited to have found this app. I’m working on my Arabic and my confidence to speak it with English being my first language.

I love this app

Very easy to learn Arabic argument can start normal conversations with my grandma and my mom and my dad and my sister and my brother now😀

😕

Sorry, but that’s not how people actually speak in Lebanon. You used formal Arabic, not spoken Lebanese. Nobody talks like that in everyday conversation. Please use the Lebanese dialect—the way people really communicate—not the Arabic you find in books.

Hi im mustafa

The app cost money and I only have 036 cents people who are poor they cannot go in the app and I can't even try it so you can help me get it free

Waste of time

Vibe-coded AI blob that's just pretty much all AI content, AI conversations, AI quizzes. There's almost no difference to using a chatbot like ChatGPT to learn Arabic. I, as a fluent Arabic speaker, am trying to help my little sister learn Arabic and saw an ad for this app. I wanted to test it myself before I encourage her to start using Kelam and I'm glad I tested it first. It's absolutely just all AI-generated content, no structure. Also a bit weird with how they request a payment before you can actually get to see the app and also request a review vibe-coded. Anyways don't waste your time downloading and even signing up for the free trial

Great but needs slight improvements

Would it be possible to have the English translations written under the cartoons? It’s a bit of a sudden jump for it to suddenly not have any English subtitles and tapping on the words as they come up is not practical

Best app

Very good

Great when it works

I got to to surprise my friend and learn her dialect. Many times the sounds don't play or it will not pick up when I speak. It doesn't matter if I'm using earbuds or speaking into the phone. I wish this app was further along but I'll stick with it for now.

Subscription malfunction

It seemed pretty cool at first, but after switching to a new phone, it wants me to resubscribe… I bought the year subscription, I don’t want to buy another subscription after spending that money. Hopefully it’ll be fixed.

Terrible voice recognition

The app is unable to recognize words spoken, marking everything as incorrect, even when attempted by a native speaker. Makes the app unusable!

L

This app keeps trying to charge me after I canceled the subscription but learning Arabic on this app is good but I’ll have to learn Arabic somewhere else.

Crazy work

Not only I could talk to my family, but also know what people are saying

Lebanese dialect is wrong

Lebanese dialect is wrong

Not a free app

I’m tired of this app getting advertised as free. You have to pay for a subscription to even learn or start anything on Kalam. I’ll stick with duo, drops, and my books.

Kalam

I think I can do this it seems helpful

Bad PickUp on Speech

I say the words exactly as it does, in Lebanese Arabic, I’m Lebanese, and it just doesn’t pick up what I’m saying. Keeps saying its wrong. So then you’re stuck playing a game with it to try to recognize your voice correctly

Review

Raeally good for learning the meaning of hadiths and conversational Arabic
