Add on
Hi it’s amazing I just wish it had more languages like Welsh, Scottish, or Irish. Maybe you can add more languages or endangered ones too
Duolingo-buy this app instead if you got the money
Honestly, this is the best Japanese learning app. I’ve tried Renshu, doulingo etc but this is hands down the best way to learn if you just want the speaking side. In my free trial I learnt more than I ever did on the other apps, and I could choose what I wanted to practice. The only downside is nothing perfect is ever free, and I am poor. One day me and Pingo will be reunited, and I can continue my quest on mastering how to ask people in Japanese if I can pet their dog.

No refunds!
This app does not notify you when the trial is over and I had stopped using it a few days prior, apple will not refund it and neither will the app. Not fair, considering I could’ve come back at a later time but now that they don’t handle refunds, definitely not using this app ever again. What a joke

Awful! regret purchasing…
The Russian program is so repetitive and constantly gets my gender wrong and won’t allow me to correct it. Won’t be renewing my subscription.
Learning portugués

no free plan
If there’s no free way to use this, just make people pay to download. I was really excited for this too.
You can’t even try it
It immediately goes to the buy/free for 2 days, you don’t even know if it’s good or not
Charged $169 and Refused a Refund Without Any Explanation
I was charged $169 for a subscription, and I cancelled the subscription and requested a refund on the same day the payment was made. However, my refund request was denied without any clear explanation.
I contacted support because I noticed the charge immediately and wanted to cancel it right away, but I was simply told that the payment could not be refunded. No specific reason was provided.
I understand that there may be a refund policy, but I find it very disappointing that a refund was denied even though I cancelled the subscription and requested the cancellation on the same day. I also expected a clearer explanation regarding why the refund was not possible.

Bad Support
The app is okay but I’m disappointed in how difficult it is to get in contact with or get a response from the support team. If you need assistance, you can email but you might not get a response for a while (It’s been almost 2 weeks and I havnt gotten a response after 2 emails were sent). They also have a support phone number, which is just a robot saying to email them. I’d like the app more and want to come back to it if the support team was actively trying to help but unfortunately they haven’t.

Do not download app, scam. Subscription regulated by 3rd party
I don’t normally write reviews but hopefully this prevents anyone else for falling for this scam of an app. I cancelled my subscription (because honestly I don’t understand the apps decent rating, it’s format is the worst app I’ve used for learning Spanish). After cancelling my free trial/subscription day 1, the app proceeded to charge me a full year. Their subscription is regulated by a 3rd party so you aren’t protected by Apple interface. This is a scam that unfortunately has caused $100 to go down the drain for me. Do not make the same mistake.

Great!
I really like this app because it is very good at teaching, and I am much better at German now!!
Even duolingo is free
Brother an AI chat bot at that and you require a PAYMENT? Duolingo has a free option and yet here this app comes with 0 free options and the payment requirement is in the DEEPEST part of the app description. 0/5
🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡
I hate this app
App
It made me pay in order to learn languages so please don’t download this ap app it’s a wholeeeeeeee scam
I don’t talk enough at home… might as well learn to speak a different language 🤷♂️
Lots of lessons, pretty good immersion, adjusts to your comprehension level when requested, easy switch between languages.
Last version was better
I love this app! I’ve tried learning Korean through IRL courses and many different apps, but none of them really helped me improve. I downloaded this one last year, and I’ve improved so much since then. Even when I was in Korea, I was surprised by how much I could understand because the app teaches you how to speak, pronounce words correctly, and use real Korean vocabulary.
That being said, since the update, I feel like I’m learning a lot of things I already know. For example, ordering food, making reservations, etc. were things I had already learned in the first version of the app, when we had different topics and widgets like shopping, greetings, directions, and so on. Now that everything is organized by chapters, I sometimes feel like I’m repeating things I’ve already studied.
I also preferred the old 10-minute lessons. I would often finish the lesson early, which gave me time to ask questions about vocabulary and sentences I didn’t understand. Now, when the lesson decides to wrap up, you can’t really stop it to ask questions.
Another thing I miss is how many vocabulary words were saved after each lesson. Before, if I asked a question about a specific word from a sentence I had just learned, that word would often be added to my vocabulary list automatically. Now that doesn’t seem to happen as much, which makes it harder for me to remember new words.

what a joke
why let me download the app if there is no free plan? just make it a paid app :/
SLOWWWWW!
Takes forever to respond.
Multiple issues
It’s got promise but the AI keeps suddenly asking me to repeat phrases it hasn’t even introduced. Sometimes the AI also doesn’t pronounce some words in the text you can see it’s meant to be saying. It also uses digits for numbers without teaching you how to say numbers first.
Like I say, nice idea but execution still need tweaked.
