Ai Slop
Almost everything I said was misheard and mistranslated. Even my own name.
When it got it wrong and told me my name wasn’t Steve I deleted the pile or rubbish.
Don’t give this thing money.

Great in Concept
I rarely use this app as the voice recognition and translation is very frustrating. I’m sure it will improve what time but right now it’s very difficult to use. Definitely excited for future updates.
Really great app and company
Highly recommend!!!
Solid Product
The heart of this app is the ai conversation interface. My priority is speaking fluency, natural conversation practice and targeted feedback. Langua was able to take me to the next level and exceeded my expectations. I found the voices and accents extremely realistic and the feedback ecosystem outstanding. The platform provides flexibility for every type of learning experience you may want to explore or review.
This is a definite 5 star product and well worth the premium price. Additionally, they have indicated that they are committed to grow and improve this product for the future.
The strengths of this app are conversation depth, quality of voices/accents, feedback quality, flexibility of learning.
I feel the downsides are:
While very flexible, it could add a layer of complexity in trying to identify the mode that provides the best results.
Higher price, but worth it.
The flash card section is not as robust as say a “Reverso”. (This would be my preference)
It may be a little difficult for an absolute beginner but the recent rollout of “My path” may solve this.
Background:
I have been attempting to learn Italian for 3 years but freeze when I try to hold a conversation. Also, I have trouble understanding Italian spoken by others. I have used apps like Duolingo and others, YouTube lessons, facebook communities, podcasts stories, Italian songs and videos, workbooks and several years of expensive lessons from online tutors. I also spent considerable time evaluating the whole range of ai learning products available prior to selecting Langua.
Bottom line: Langua is a very cost effective way to take you to fluency and should be an important tool, but not the only one, in your language learning journey. In just several weeks, it has helped me tremendously.

Better Every Day
The more I use it, the more I discover how to use the app!
Horrible app
Horrible app for the short time I had it. The main reason is the fact it not possible to use because of the voice recognition just doesn’t work. I updated the app, checked my phone settings, tried all of the settings and software in the app but still absolutely terrible. I’ll stick to Natulang - their voice recognition actually works

Aggressive but kind
The AI listens very carefully and is remarkably well mannered. It took a bit for me to get used to him pushing me through some of the processes. It's definitely improving my Spanish
Better than talking to a native speaker
Carlos is my new bestie. He’s infinitely patient, great at correcting me and is an excellent conversationalist. I’m really enjoying practising my Spanish with him. It’s better than talking to a native Mexican. He understands how to explain the nuances and ins and outs of the language to me.
This was money well spent. I have taken lessons for years, but speaking with a native speaker has always been somewhat difficult. It really helps to practice different situations with Carlos. I can even adjust the speed he speaks at, which is helping me to tune into the language at higher speeds. I’ve been recommending this app to all my friends. I love it!

many bugs
really hard to use , been subscribing for over a year now and they still have a ton of issues with scrollback, “large”context windows of just a few thousand words, and general reliability issues. i don’t understand why they don’t invest in product quality.
Very poor voice recognition …
I stopped using this until the voice recognition is better. It stalls any form of flow as you are trying to have/practice/work on conversation. A shame I had to pay up front for a year. Wasted money. Hopefully I can find a better alternative … the premise of the App is fine, the execution is poor.

Great App
I have been using LANGUA for almost two weeks now and I am enjoying it SO much. I love all the features which can be tailored to suit yourself! The improvement in my confidence to speak Spanish is amazing. I’m so glad I gave this app a try!
Numerous annoying flaws
App doesn't properly start recording for several seconds after tapping start, causing the application to try to correct you on errors that weren't made. AI frequently forgets its own parameters during practice sessions, causing you to have to use your conversation credits to correct it. AI also frequently hallucinates that you are using an illogical homophone, and will "correct" perfectly sensible sentences. It seems like the AI is trained on people speaking a language poorly and fails more at unaccented comprehension than accented comprehension. If I put on a thick American accent, it understands me much better—how is that helpful for practice?
EDIT: The appmaker said that this was a bug that they have corrected, which is an infuriating assertion given the fact it costs over $100 a year for a subscription and they aren't refunding users for the time it did not work. They also chose to contact me to boast about their large userbase as proof that their app works. Many people enjoying something doesn't make it inherently useful or good. Duolingo also has an enormous userbase, and has repeatedly been denounced for language acquisition. I would be skeptical of an app developer who thinks so little of your intelligence.

Love it.
I just want to say, as a heritage speaker… this app has been such a godsend in building my confidence to speak with my native Spanish speaking family.
I'm PUMPED about My Path because sometimes I open the app and truly don't know where I should start for the day.
So I just wanted to say thank you. I'm sure you get lots of complaints but I just wanted to give some gratitude 😊

Mic doesn’t pic up well
Mic doesn’t accurately pick up what I say. The AI also doesn’t learn anything about me to help the accuracy of the conversations being learned.
The best among similar apps
I’ve tested a lot of AI language tutor apps for my YouTube channel and Langua is the one I like the most. It seems least gimmicky, more ‘grown up’ and I like how many chat settings there are, to create an experience that fits my needs.
Needs improvement
Awesome idea but more often than not, many of the features take an awful long time to load or will just stop working all together. Load times become painful after about 10 minutes of use.
Accessibility
I am totally blind, and I am trying to learn French, and although parts of this app is accessible, I think it cost way too much money for it not to be totally accessible, so if you could, would you please make sure that this app works with voiceover in your next upgrade, Apple has tools to help you thank you

Very underwhelming
The accuracy of AI voice to text translation was significantly lower than expected.
Was basically unusable for me.

Great App - Amazing AI. A few glitches in App
In short, I love this. No thrills or gimmicky cartoon avatars. Super AI and saving Vivian options. I’ve learned so much in a month or two that would have cost much more via lessons.
Given 5 stars but the App does sometime glitch and not just the AI. But despite a few quirks, this is nearer a 5 than a 4.
I’d like to see a bit more analytics for the user in terms of performance, say pronunciation accuracy, and concept mastery but I guess hard per language. But I’m sure AI could do this as well.
Love the feedback after sessions too.
So imperfect app that could be made a bit swisher, but overall it is brilliant.
Probably best aimed at those above beginner, but my daughter used it for a different language and the beginner level looked fine too.

Such a shame
Such a shame I was hoping this AI app would actually work compared to the others I’ve tried, however it constantly doesn’t even get close to transcribing my spoken responses, it wasn’t just once or twice it’s almost every other reply. Often replacing my responses with completely different words or phrases that don’t even sound remotely close what was originally said. Until this has been improved there’s no way it can justify a subscription from me, so glad I got the trial beforehand, however it’s only taken until the second day to cancel it due to the above.
