### 3/5 — Not the real language reactor.

*2026-07-22*

Pretty mid if you ask me. I feel they stole the name. You get ten minutes a day free with subtitles but you may as well just use youtube. It freezes.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the honest feedback. PlayLingo is an independent app and not affiliated with any other product — we're a small team building our own approach: learning languages through YouTube videos with AI-powered subtitles, translations and instant explanations right in the moment.

The freezing shouldn't be happening, and we'd really like to track it down. If it's not too much trouble, drop us a line at info@playlinga.app — just a few words about where it froze (which screen or what you were doing) would already help a lot.

About the daily free limit: generating subtitles and AI translations costs us real money per minute of video, so the free tier covers 10 minutes a day — that's the honest trade-off that keeps the app running, and everything beyond it is what Pro covers.

We'd be glad to win those stars back once the freeze is sorted.

### 5/5 — PERFECT!

*2026-07-03*

Please, make a version for Android!

**Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu entusiasmo por PlayLingo! 😊 Agradecemos a sua sugestão de criar uma versão para Android, e vamos considerar seu pedido em nosso planejamento futuro. Esperamos continuar ajudando nos seus estudos de línguas! Playlingo Team 👀

### 5/5 — Unable to Locate a Cancellation Option

*2026-06-05*

Transparency in subscriptions is just as important as the quality of the service. If an app states that users can cancel at any time, there should be a clear, accessible, and easy-to-find cancellation option. In my experience, I was unable to locate any cancellation option within the platform, which creates uncertainty and makes it more difficult to properly manage personal expenses and finances. I believe the company should review this issue and take into consideration consumer protection laws and regulations related to subscriptions and cancellations. Greater transparency would help build user trust and significantly improve the overall user experience.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your insightful review and for highlighting the importance of transparency in subscription management. We understand how critical it is to have a clear cancellation process, and we're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. For managing or canceling subscriptions, you can access the settings through the App Store. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to improving the user experience. Thank you again for your trust and support. Warm regards, the PlayLingo Team.
