I register, having paid, am take to L360 and when I try to log in I get a ‘no account with these credentials’. Repeatedly. Help?! ### 1/5 — Cannot set up account or log in *2023-10-27, version 3.10.1* Really frustrating. Happy to pay for app but no opportunity to set up or buy the app ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2023-04-23, version 3.9* App goes straight to a log in and password page. No way forward, no way back, no alternative route, no “forgotten your password” link. No alternative but to delete the app. Looking through the reviews I see someone had the sane issue two years ago. Really not good enough. ### 3/5 — Would like to be able to play forward through the archive *2023-03-12, version 3.9* I really like the content but would like to be able to play the news programs chronologically forward rather than backwards. ### 1/5 — Logging in *2023-01-25, version 3.9* So - I having had issues with my phone I try to log in, clearly forgotten password. But all I get is ‘No account with those credentials’ OK, so I try to reset password. Nope no opportunity to do so. So, I delete the app and try again and repeat. Same problem over and over again. For goodness sake - I cannot even create a new account as it will not let me. Pathetic ### 2/5 — Too left wing *2022-08-19, version 3.9* The Italian language part of it is very useful but you have to put up with endless left wing diatribe and climate alarmism. The world is going to burn up any minute according to this mob and any right wing government elected signals the end of the world as we know it. I couldn’t cope any longer and abandoned it. It would be great if they just reported the news without the propaganda. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t have payment on the app *2022-04-01, version 3.9* I can’t purchase for having an account from the iOS app, it just has a login page, and also doesn’t have any information for I have to enroll only from the website. ### 1/5 — I miss the old app *2022-02-15, version 3.9* Well it would be nice to log in again to 360. I thought I’d give it another try but no way to purchase a subscription or recover password. ### 1/5 — How do you sign up? *2022-01-08, version 3.9* Would happily subscribe if I could finger out how ### 1/5 — How to reset password? *2022-01-04, version 3.9* Just downloaded the L360 app after not using slow news for a while. Is there really no way to reset a password in the app? Seems like a pretty basic function, just like other streaming apps. Also surprised at the tone of some of the developers’ responses to others here. If this many people have the same question, then maybe consider that you have not provided enough information. Not really interested in helping folks? Isn’t this an educational company? ### 1/5 — Tone deaf company and app *2021-12-24, version 3.9* How many people have complained and stopped using Slow Spanish? Yet the developers write the same response. Deleting app. Slow Spanish used to be a helpful tool. ### 3/5 — Suggested improvements *2021-11-14, version 3.9* It would be great if this app could allow for mark up so I could highlight or note things on the transcripts. I know there’s a pdf that can be downloaded, but then the interactivity with the definitions is gone. I would like to highlight unknown words and then still be able to have the definitions pop up. Being able to save and look back through these kinds of notes in this app would be helpful. Additionally, a way to mark and track my own vocab words so that I can see trends in what I continue to struggle with vs finally start to remember would also be nice… just some suggestions. ### 1/5 — No sound *2021-07-21, version 3.8* Have tried again and again to make contact with technical support. No sound available for July 21st programmes. Very trying. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Now a Paid Subscription *2025-02-12, version 3.13.3* Used this app for years but now it’s a paid subscription. ### 1/5 — Loved it, but quite can’t access it *2025-02-01, version 3.13.2* I thought this was really fabulous and I don’t know why it’s so hard to get into or impossible for that matter. Why don’t you share it with the world again? ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-01-29, version 3.13.2* I can’t log in with my old info, nor does it give the option to update my password or sign up again. It’s just a page of uselessness. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-11-21, version 3.13* This app is no longer working with IOS 18. There is no way to get in or set up an account on the app. I went to the internet website and it now appears to be a paid subscription. Going in on the App Store, there is an assumption that I have a log in and password and no way to create an account. I have used this app for several years and it has Bern very helpful with my language development. I have changed nothing on my devices and had not actually upgraded to iOS 18 on my iPad and the same thing happened. Have you changed the platform? ### 1/5 — Scam? *2024-08-30, version 3.12* I just paid $19 monthly for Slow Italian. Directed to this app but I can’t get in as it asks for a website but says it doesn’t exist. Cancelling. I hope I get my money back. ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2024-06-13, version 3.11.2* I know this has been said before, but there is no way to create an account from the app. The developer keeps responding that is how all apps work - that you create an account from the website, then come back to the app. Newsflash! That IS NOT how all apps work! Most of them allow you to create an account from the app. Then, for some reason, they never identify the website to use. There are always imposter websites out there, so it would be nice to know which is yours. These developers are ridiculous. ### 1/5 — No opportunity to set up password *2024-05-02, version 3.11.2* Repeat all earlier comments! You are stuck in a loop of not being able to register - after I was told I'd been charged! Beyond awful! ### 1/5 — Don't pay for Propaganda *2024-03-25, version 3.11.2* Don't be fooled. It isn't "news" - it's just the facile opinions of right wing idealogues. Save money and use free resources on YouTube. ### 1/5 — No way to create an account *2023-12-07, version 3.11* It’s very weird that there is not only no way to create an account, but also no message to tell people that they need to go to the website if they want to make an account (with the address link) to do that. I figured it out from reading these comments. Several people have made similar comments and the answers from the developers seem dismissive. The app should have an informative landing page since people who are not subscribers who download the app are likely to become subscribers if you offer them an easy way to do so. Don’t make potential customers jump through hoops! ### 1/5 — Appalling getting started UI *2023-11-26, version 3.10.1* Downloaded and there’s only a login screen which says credentials not known …. That’s because there’s no registration instructions. I’d recommend missing this app and moving on to one that’s had more thought to the user experience ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The app is so so but the recordings Is what I was looking for for months *2025-07-21, version 3.13.4* Brilliant, keep it up the job! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-03-02, version 3.13.4* Love it. I have used it for French and German - waiting for new sub to Spanish to show up. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2023-01-26, version 3.9* This app provides enjoyable learning of current events in French. I like that you can listen to the news in three different speeds according to your skill level. I enjoy reading along, and it is nice to be able to tap the words that are hyperlinked with definitions. ### 5/5 — Really useful, the only learning method I’ve stuck with! *2022-11-14, version 3.9* I’ve been using the app and the browser based on and off for several months now. I’m a really inconsistent learner, but I come back to News in Slow French for one main reason. I believe the best way to learn a language is to speak it. It’s amazing how much you can know in theory, but when you come to actually speak to someone, you are flummoxed! And probably the best way to practise speaking is language conversation classes. Unfortunately they are not available for just the five minutes you might have spare in the day! However, listening to NISF, spoken by clear, native speakers, and stopping every few words to repeat - the old, écoutez et repeatez - I think is the next best thing. And the subjects are pretty good and hold the interest well. Incidentally, I had been using google translate to do a similar thing myself, but the translators speak really fast (does focus the mind though!) and you have to go back to the beginning of the sentence or paragraph every time you stop and repeat. I’ve been subscribing for a few months, but I’m actually only in browser mode at the moment because I only have a very few minutes a day and no income at the moment and it’s still great as although the articles are cut short, it actually suits me because I don’t have time to do full articles (although can leave you hanging on the punch line!) Anyway, I’ve never written such a long review, but noticed it was really poorly rated and thought - that’s not fair! It’s a great product!! Anyway, I have got to get on! ### 5/5 — Insanely great content and app! *2022-08-25, version 3.9* Being able to listen to these newscasts has been central to my day — and transformative for my language study. I am very grateful to the news desk, hosts and app developers. Suggestion: It would be wonderful if there were an option, when you click on words and phrases, to have them and their translations load into a simple table to copy and export into .xls, Quizlet or other. That would be very powerful for review and retention. ### 5/5 — Works well on iPad & iPhone *2021-06-14, version 3.7* Not really sure which app other reviewers are using, since I’ve had zero issues on both iPhone and iPad. Easy to log in, playback controls work well, vocabulary hover tool tips work fine, etc. And of course their content is awesome. ### 5/5 — Works great! My favorite language app! *2021-03-13, version 3.4* I’m so glad I switched over to app on my new phone! It’s much better than the old app I had been using. So much more is accesible within the app than just the news and discussion. (And all I had to do is log in with my email and password to get full access to my subscription.) I love this approach to language learning, as I am able to listen to and read the kind of news and cultural stories that interest me, with just the right amount of language support. I appreciate that you get access to both the Latin American and European Spanish feeds in the Spanish package. It still costs a bit more than I can afford for more than a few months, but I can’t say it’s not worth every penny (especially considering what I have paid language classes over the years). Hopefully they’ll do more bundling for learners who subscribe long term and study multiple languages. ### 5/5 — Version 3.2 is a major upgrade! Thanks for listening *2020-09-07, version 3.2* It is now easy to download and listen to an entire new episode, for those of us listening in the car, on a bike or while running. Great job. ### 5/5 — Much better *2020-07-25, version 3.1* This new app is much better than the previous ones and consolidates all the languages in one place rather than leading the three separate apps are needed for French Spanish and Italian. A poster has written that the download facility for playlists doesn’t work. It does but you have to download the content from the playlist menu and that seems to work for me on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-07-11, version 3.0* Better designed than the old app. Good to be able to move from story to story rather than just the weekly episodes - but I would still like to be able to listen to the whole episode in one go. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
