### 5/5 — Great conversations

*2026-04-27*

Just moved to US for work and this is helping me practice in different situations I don’t see in textbooks. Love it! Hoping the lessons get better

### 5/5 — I need this!

I’ve looking for a good role play based English app for a long time! This will going to help me get fluent in so many situations, thanks!

**Developer response:** We're glad you found us! Kango is a roleplay-based English learning app. By practicing daily in different real-world scenarios with our AI tutor, we hope to train your muscle memory so when the time comes you will know what to say in different situations!

### 5/5 — Excellent real conversation practice

*2026-02-06*

Been using this for about 3 weeks to prep for work stuff. The scenario library is surprisingly specific—there's one for reviewing shareholder agreements where you practice with an AI acting as a legal advisor, and it walks you through ownership structure, veto rights, voting provisions. Used it before an actual investor meeting and felt way less lost.

Only gripe: wish I could adjust how fast the AI responds. Sometimes need a sec to think.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We're glad it helped you with your investor meeting. Noted your feedback on the speed of AI response. We've just pushed some updates that increases the speed of the AI response and would love for you to try it!
