I can’t create an account

I’m trying to create an account but it refuses to work

Email verification never sent

I was very excited about the opportunity to use this app, but I never got past the verification process. I waited and wait for an email that never came. I checked my junk and my spam. It was not there. And now the app won’t let me in. I think it’s important that the creator of this app fix this bug so we can all enjoy it.

Breath of fresh air

Absolutely love this app! I finally feel like I’m capable of learning my language and other Nigerian languages. This is a must have!!

Amazing

Im using this app to learn Igbo and it is AMAZING!!! I def recommend to every beginner

Finally, an app that teaches Nigerian languages AND the culture!!

Koyo isn’t just another vocabulary drill app, it actually teaches you how to use the language in real life. The lessons come with cultural context baked in, so you’re learning the right greeting for an elder or what to say walking into someone’s home, not just floating words.

These, in particular, stand out in the app;

- Real audio, real accents: No robotic TTS voices, it sounds like actual people speaking.
- Daily lessons: 5 minutes is genuinely enough to make progress. You can complete each one while in transit.
- Smart repetition: It brings back what you’re forgetting right when you need it, so nothing slips away.
- And my favorite part… Cultural insights are infused into every lesson. You learn how to belong in a conversation, not just memorize words and phrases.

If you grew up hearing Yoruba, Igbo, or Edo but haven’t learned to speak it back, or you’re trying to reconnect with your roots, KOYO gets it in a way generic language apps never could. Excited to see more languages added as they build on the amazing work already done. I heard more African languages are joining the club sometime!
