Call mode has lot of issues
A frustrating app
I tried a 3 day trial for this and was impressed. I then purchased this as a 3 month subscription at £45 and I feel like I may have been overcharged. Sometimes it works and sometimes it lags horribly. That inconsistency is the problem for me. If you are worried that the app will lag and you have to then repeat yourself, this affects your performance. It then, to me, feels counter productive. I will try this app still but, currently, I find it easier talking to chatgbt at 30% of the cost.
3 months on... I tried to work with the app for the first month or so and just gave up as there were times it just didn’t respond to me. It’s the unpredictability that I didn’t like about it. I’m sure the app provider will put this error as somehow being my fault, based on their somewhat dismissive and tardy response to my original review. But if you use an app where you lose confidence with it, because of operating issues, then surely it is the right of the consumer to feel aggrieved by it.
Perhaps users will like this app. Good luck to them. But will I re-subscribe after an initial 3 months? Sorry, but no.

So so
It's but I won't be renewing. If you have to think about your answer you will be interrupted. I prefer talking to a person infinitely more and honestly claude or chat gtp adapts much better.
Awesome
This app is phenomenal for anyone. Seriously committed to learning a second language. It is worth every penny and it has helped me every day.
Brilliant help
I am so grateful to have found the Langua App. I have been using other language apps for years, aiming to speak German so I can chat with my grandchildren. I cannot believe how fast my understanding has improved just 3 months after starting Langua. It is such a help to be able to ask questions and have them answered so clearly and simply. I am finally gaining some skills and confidence to speak Germsn - so excited!!!

Degraded app quality
Is the app being vibe coded (derogatory)? This was an excellent tool for practicing. I paid for 3 months. I took some time off and on my return, the chat is now constantly erroring and is slow. It’s no longer a free flowing conversation.
This is an app with a lot of potential, treat it with care or you will lose paying customers.
I hope I can come back to give a better review in future but I am very disappointed right now.

Pure frustration
If anyone can get it to work it is totally unstable and multiple attempts to resolve the problem were fruitless.
You can learn Spanish here
The best thing I’ll like about this app is the AI conversationalist character actually understand you even if you’re sloppy with your words. That’s a big help compared to one lack EWA. App don’t ever get that they’re crooks and criminals. Anyway do I review check before downloading and purchasing anything? But these guys are a good guys Alex is a good dude. He even alerted me that I had paid for attempted to pay twice once from the App Store and once from the website. I’ve spoken with him a couple of times and he is generally an honest guy I believe so. There’s something that’s rare in these apps. It seems like these days. but absolutely I definitely recommend this app and talk to the AI and just develop your ear like I’m trying to do and you should be speaking Spanish in no time.

Unreliable transcription
I purchased the full year after trying it successfully, but subsequently I’ve found it to be very unreliable when transcribing the audio into written French. The results rarely match what I said, which is extremely frustrating and ultimately destroy any real benefit of using the app. I am contacting the company to request a refund as the app does not work consistently as advertised.

Poorly designed. Slow
For the introduction you should make this a streamline product. The very first lesson if you want them to repeat a sentence you have to listen to the English again before they’ll say the French. I only need to reheat the French, I don’t need you to speak again in English with the preliminary instructions. This is just badly designed and it’s way too slow to respond or process your language

Bugs
There seems to be issues with bugs that prevent it from having a full sentence you’ll be going through a conversation and then it will mess up the conversation or sometimes it doesn’t hear you correctly
Expectations not met
After comparing AI apps for Spanish conversation using reviews, I chose Langua. I have been using it daily for a few weeks. I am disappointed with the AI conversations I have had. For one thing, the AI model seems at times not to understand my responses or questions. Sometimes, when I ask it how would you say such and such in English in Spanish it return with the English I asked the Spanish equivalent!
I have not given up after spending $159 for a year subscription. But I am disappointed. An AI language app is only as good as its underlying AI model. Langua seems not to have a descent AI engine running the app.

Greatness ruined by terrible support
After trying 2 other apps i'm being thoroughly disappointed, I was very hesitant to try a 3rd - especially one that was making the same kind of both claims as the other 2 apps. So I was amazed when my initial forays with the app and its chat function were fantastic. I still put off subscribing until.....
The new updates - adding podcasts and the ability to import your own context - went live. I signed up and started playing around but for every cool thing I found, I found frustration and disappointment.
Let's deal with the bad first:
In short, it's not as easy as it first appears and the website is different in places which just adds to the confusion. For example, there's a flash card section but it shows you both the native and foreign meaning of a word together - giving no time to recall from your memory nor are you presented with a multiple choice option. Also, there's no way to set up a series of flash cards, swiping to move on to the next etc. Instead, you have to open up a flashcard, then close it, then go to the next word you want to see as a flashcard, click on it to open and repeat.
The guided lessons don't always log your completion which means you have to repeat it and hope that this time it marks the section as complete and allow you to move onto the next topic.
Likewise, the app often lags - particularly when analysing your input and formulating a reply (I lost count of the amount of times I said 'hello?' to promot a response) and there's no option to 'go back' once in a chat. Instead you have to close down and reopen the app to go back to the menu options.
And despite being at the absolute beginner stage, the app throws in words and phrases that are way beyond the level it's teaching. It literally suggests a role play to practice phrases you've just learnt but once you agree it tosses in a whole bunch of new vocab which completely throws you off.
Now, honestly, these would not a big deal if I could get some assistance but the support function is atrocious. I hardly ever get a reply and if I do it's several days late. Multiple queries have been sent and 99% have fallen into a black hole. The 2 replies I received ignored most of what I was seeking help for and have gone radio silent despite asking for further info (which I sent and chased up).
So what's the good?
This is easily the best app I've used. The AI voice sounds authentic and I can have fully-fledged conversations and not a rigid script that the AI must adhere to. The podcasts, flash cards, import function, grammar lessons, guided lessons and - most of all, the AI chat itself - could make for a phenomenal self-contained learning tool.
Unfortunately, it is completely let down by the total lack of support. I appreciate that the team may be small but its poor business and poor customer service to take so long to reply, to ignore much of what was asked, or to simply not reply at all - not even when chased up and when voicing dissatisfaction. Despite how good this app could be, I would not have bought a subscription had I known the support would be so poor.
I wanted to rate this one star but I've settled on three because it's not the app that's weak, it's the humans behind it.

Keeps getting better and better! So worth the subscription
I really love this app! It helps me squeeze in Spanish practice whenever I can throughout my day. I appreciate so much that the developers take feedback seriously and are continuously making improvements and enhancements for this app. I actually get excited to open it and look forward to the updates. I LOVE that I can make my own AI prompts! I’m really happy they included podcasts in the app too. I just hope that they can find a way to make it work with Apple Car Play so you can practice speaking while stuck in traffic.

#1 language app
Truly like having a 24/7 tutor. I have downloaded at least 7 apps and this one does it all!

Provides Extension to Basic Knowledge
Using Langua has helped to extend my second language practice into longer sentences and comprehension of more detailed natural speaking with the AI practice partners. My favorite part is reviewing the history & highlighting the phrases that are unknown; then generating to similar words or phrases to practice later with the flash cards. Also during discussions using the “light bulb” feature to generate sample answer choices and then record is efficient in getting a complete conversation in correct form to study and review. In my opinion, it’s better to study (read) a correct conversation (in writing) with grammar to build proficiency in speaking the language over time.

Phenomenal
Without doubt the best AI language learning software out there. See this as a 24/7 language tutor ready to chat to you and correct your errors, with the conversation tailored to your skill level. It’s very impressive.
Finally got me talking!
This app has been great for removing my self-consciousness about speaking. The AI is very clever about pivoting to new subjects when chatting. I like that I have options on how I want to be corrected. It’s very easy to highlight a specific word or phrase, get the translation, and add it to saved for later flash card work. Highly recommend!
