This app, like it tells you, teaches you to THINK in the language. 10/10 recommend. Loving it and plan on learning multiple languages because of this app ### 5/5 — Best language app *2026-06-30, version 1.5.1* Best language app that I have used thus far. Teaches you how to actually learn and use the language without memorizing random words. The only suggestion i have is more pause functionality.Like, an option that makes the video automatically pause after a question would be extremely useful ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-28, version 1.5.1* Great app used to learn spanish ### 5/5 — Selfless *2026-06-25, version 1.5.1* Truly doing gods work spreading free methods for people to learn to communicate with others. This has been one of the most effective ways to learn a language I’ve done. Currently learning Italian before my trip, hoping to become conversational. Their French module was very good as well. Hopefully one day they can add Punjabi(my native tongue I never learned). ### 5/5 — great!! *2026-06-21, version 1.5.1* this app is great for learning a new language. gives all the best advice and basic tips ### 4/5 — Very useful but could use some improvements. *2026-06-19, version 1.5.1* It would be nice to have a more user friendly interface, hyperlinked tags under each lesson to find all lessons associated with the particular topic. Also a search feature. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-06-16, version 1.5.1* This app is a must have for learning a new language. Language Transfer truly teaches you how to think about the language vs just memorizing (often temporarily) words. I can’t recommend this app enough! ### 5/5 — Great app but I can’t use it. *2026-06-09, version 1.5.1* App is fantastic! I wish I could use it but they don’t have Swedish, which I am trying to learn. ### 5/5 — So informative *2026-06-04, version 1.5.1* I find it ten thousand times easier to understand what I’m trying to learn with the actual teaching of language not just the words. My only issue with the app is that the pauses in the audio between the question and answers isn’t quite long enough, and often times I don’t get to pause it in time even with my phone in my hand. I’m currently working on the Spanish lessons and it is quite comprehensible as someone with absolutely zero prior Spanish. I like how it teaches you to come up with the words using logic, and teaches you the logic rather than just teaching you the words. ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2026-06-01, version 1.5.1* I’ve tried several other apps and/or ways of learning and this is definitely the best! Great for people like me who have the foundation, but need help forming sentences and having actual conversations. I’ve been doing 20 mins a day for about a week and already feel so much more confident. Thank you so much for this app! ### 5/5 — A complete game changer! *2026-05-30, version 1.5.1* I never thought learning a new language can be so enjoyable. After completing the Spanish course I learnt not just the grammar but how the language works and it’s just fascinating. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Best Free Language Lessons *2026-05-29, version 1.5.1* This is by far the best resource i’ve found to learn a new language. Only a few lessons down and things will start to click. Don’t give up and don’t waste your time with the fully AI talking apps like I did prior to this! ### 5/5 — Learning a Language Made Doable! *2026-05-25, version 1.5.1* I’m only 4 lessons into the Spanish course and have learned more than on any other app I’ve tried. It goes further into learning rather than just memorizing words. Looking forward to trying the other courses! ### 3/5 — Not much languages *2026-05-24, version 1.5.1* The title says it all ### 5/5 — An AMAZING way to break through the rough beginnings *2026-05-22, version 1.5.1* I’ve completed the Complete Spanish and Intro Italian courses and have begun German. I became practically addicted to listening to the lessons, always pausing, repeating out loud, and thinking alongside the student. The pacing is perfect. I had always felt very discouraged beginning learning a new language. I’d get bored being talked to like a baby and learning isolated phrases without feeling any progress. Despite loving learning Mandarin, I found myself unable to dedicate myself to other languages. Learning Spanish felt far harder than learning Mandarin, which I found strange as a native English speaker. I believe this is because Mihalis’s Language Transfer method does something almost no others do: it takes advantage of the similarities between languages. The early steps don’t feel horrifically slow. Almost immediately, you develop a large enough vocabulary to play around with the language. You’re immediately forming full grammatical sentences. If you’re tired of feeling that no matter how much grammar you learn, you still find yourself confused by the structure of the language itself, this is absolutely what you need. ### 5/5 — By far the best language learning app I have ever tried! *2026-05-22, version 1.5.1* By far the best language learning app I have ever tried, and I have tried many! ### 5/5 — This app is perfect *2026-05-21, version 1.5.1* I downloaded this app because Duolingo was kind of annoying because of the money and I’ve been wanting an app that teaches you really fast and I already know a lot of German ### 5/5 — A breath of fresh air *2026-05-19, version 1.5.1* Superb system - I’ve been making huge progress with my Spanish using the website version, giving me much joy and confidence. It’s great to have the app to re-listen while I’m out and about. Its simplicity is a breath of fresh air - it just does what we need and no more. Thanks Mihalis. ### 5/5 — Loved this program! *2026-05-18, version 1.5.1* So engaging and I highly recommend it. 5 stars across the board. Take notes if you can! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Spanish won’t load *2026-05-03, version 1.5.1* I have done everything to try and get it to work. Nothing came up for all languages. I uninstalled the app. ### 1/5 — Spanish learning track *2026-05-01, version 1.5.1* Spanish won’t load. I’ve restarted the app. I’ve deleted and downloaded it again. Spanish is broken and won’t load. ### 1/5 — Lessons won’t load *2026-04-29, version 1.5.1* I have been listening on soundcloud and wanted to give the app a try. The app won’t load any of the lessons for Spanish. ### 1/5 — Too much talking and explaining *2025-04-05, version 1.5.1* This could come after there's an opportunity to practice! Deleted until its improved 👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Great lesson, mediocre app *2025-02-24, version 1.5.1* I’m a long time fan of the language transfer series. Having the App is convenient but the fact that there is no visual indicator of which episode you’ve completed and or progress on the episode makes it almost unusable :( ### 1/5 — UGHHHH *2024-08-07, version 1.5.1* I’m not joking these Spanish lessons are boring and it’s like listening to a tutor teaching a kid with ADHD. One star is being modest ### 1/5 — The guy he spoke to much *2024-01-23, version 1.5.1* Is less learning and he speak to much in English. I tried for Italian language but first lesson he explain in 6 mins just to take it easy and to don’t worry and bla bla. Non sense! Nothing italian words just English. Is the worst app ever. ### 1/5 — The most useless and weirdest app to learn a language *2023-02-23, version 1.5.1* In the beginning, they said just listen and you will learn. Ok, understand this kinda method exists but not in this app situation. It's more like a quiz method where you listen and check yourself if you really know the language. But let's say people know the language, why would they download the app just to be sure that they really know the language, doesn't make sense. I came to learn and not just to seat and listen to that monotone not interactive audio voice of a student who decided to come and check if she/he really knows the language. This app is the most useless app I've ever tried. ### 1/5 — Weird behaviour *2022-07-26* The app, after deletion, appeared again in my Home Screen. I don’t know why it happened, but It just felt strange, nothing like that ever happened before. ### 2/5 — Amazing App *2024-08-06, version 1.5.1* This app helps me so much with learning Spanish and it’s so much better than Duo Lingo. It’s helps me with pronunciations and it’s easy to learn. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-08-03, version 1.5.1* Incredible. It changes everything when it comes to language learning and is the first time I have actually understood how the grammar works. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-01, version 1.5.1* The app is great! Completely different approach but it’s very comprehensive and easy to follow. On top of that it encourages you to go beyond the course but not forceful.. but because you actually want to take the initiative. Grammar is easily explained without overcoming. I wish there was a POLISH version too, maybe something for the future with a polish tutor as polish is becoming a popular destination for many! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-01, version 1.5.1* It is amazing for learning Spanish. This course is for learning and remembering not memorizing. You get to understand and interact with the language as opposed to memorizing rules and words. ### 5/5 — genuinely helpful *2026-07-31, version 1.5.1* best way i’ve tried to learn Italian & Spanish, and I am intrigued by the Music Theory course. Please do an ASL course!!! ### 5/5 — THANK YOUU! *2026-07-30, version 1.5.1* its so hard to find an app to actually help me learn Spanish all they want is my money. I had to use google to help find this app and im glad I did. im just starting out and im excited to my journey. ### 5/5 — Helping so much with my Spanish *2026-07-30, version 1.5.1* I'm on lesson 65 as I write this: I started learning Spanish about two months ago with Language Transfer and three one-hour conversation classes a week. That combo has taken me from knowing nothing to feeling comfortable holding basic conversations. If you’re serious about learning a language, I’d definitely recommend making it part of your routine. ### 5/5 — Best language app *2026-07-29, version 1.5.1* Unlike other language apps which just teaches vocabulary this app actually teaches grammar and rules. It fully free with no ads. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-28, version 1.5.1* The italian course episodes I listened to teach how to form sentences in a practical way and explains grammar logic and has fun facts about why words are like that, much more useful for me than my childhood school classes or the green bird of prey in the room. Mihalis sounds friendly and happy and the teacher-student audio format feels very warm and human. I wholeheartedly recommend it. ### 5/5 — So Helpful! *2026-07-24, version 1.5.1* I have been trying to learn Spanish for years and have never grasped sentence construction. I’m only on lesson 14 and feel like I have a much better understanding than I ever have between apps, books, and even tutors! I’m so grateful for this resource! ### 5/5 — Best App! *2026-07-21, version 1.5.1* Hands down the best app I have used for learning a language. I am picking up Swahili quickly ❤️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
