Good start! I do kind of wish the voice was a bit less robotic but overall good app! Fun! ### 3/5 — Good for beginners…. BUT *2024-07-14, version 7.1.13* Some translations are incorrect, and with the “robot” voices, it can throw the learners off with pronunciation. BUT ITS AWESOME!! ### 5/5 — Learning a new language *2024-03-16* I’ve only been learning for a short time but it seems to be very straightforward ### 5/5 — Enjoying so far! *2024-01-09* My wife is from South Africa and wants me to learn Afrikaans, I was struggling to find a good learning guide and stumbled across Mondly, my wife loves it because it’s teaching me the basics, she only rolled her eyes at mineral water because apparently it’s not common at all to say 🤣 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-12-14* This is amazing I have been trying to learn Afrikaans and now I can learn it on the go ### 2/5 — I’m Afrikaans *2023-12-08, version 7.1.13* This is good but the ai used is so unclear to hear like my wife is struggling to make out what is said. ### 5/5 — Really good *2023-11-06* I’ve learnt so many new phrases and don’t worry about paying you don’t have to and you can still learn ### 2/5 — Leider nur bis Anfängerstufe *2023-10-15* Beim übersetzen ins Deutsche ist man gezwungen 1:1 das von Mondly Vorgefertigte zu schreiben, obwohl man teilweise selber noch exakter übersetzt. Man möchte Afrikaans lernen und wird ständig von Mondly in der Muttersprache verbessert. Das ist sehr belästigend. Für Vokabeln lernen ist Mondly sehr gut. Grammatik extrem wenig. Verbkonjugationen und Satzaufbau fast nichts, so dass es nach einem Monat langweilig wird, immer wieder und wieder die gleichen Sätze zu wiederholen. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-09-28, version 7.1.13* This is great when you want to learn get this It helped me so much Get it now ### 5/5 — Great when your easily distracted *2023-08-31* This app drills the same exercises but in many different ways so it stays fresh and entertaining ### 5/5 — Awesome app!!! *2023-07-26, version 7.1.13* Great app to learn Afrikaans. ### 3/5 — One drawback *2023-06-17, version 7.1.13* The lessons are slow and thorough. Only problem is they use a bot voice which gives you no idea how to peony the words properly. ### 5/5 — My husband’s native language is Afrikaans *2023-06-17, version 7.1.13* I am enjoying and learning a lot from the app! ### 5/5 — It’s dope *2023-05-15, version 7.1.13* I’ve been using it for a minute and I like it a lot. :) ### 5/5 — Fun app *2023-01-26, version 7.1.13* Enjoying language learning ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stolen money from me by not giving me my subscription *2024-03-22* All is broken, bought a subscription and it wouldn’t activate for me. Tried to seek help through feedback button which didn’t work. Tried to sign it multiple times but that also wouldn’t work. Effectively stolen from me. Never using again. ### 1/5 — Didnt get what i paid for *2023-07-28, version 7.1.13* Paid £10 and didnt get anything for it ### 1/5 — Hot garbage *2023-03-26, version 7.1.13* What is with the robot voices, this is so bad I can’t stand it. ### 1/5 — Subscription service... *2021-06-02, version 7.1.13* Unimpressed with the Subscription service business model. ### 1/5 — Zu viele Fehler *2020-09-25* Diese App hatte ich anfangs sehr gerne benutzt. Mit zunehmendem Lernfortschritt und Benutzung anderer Quellen und Wörterbücher musste ich leider feststellen dass ein großer Teil des Inhaltes einfach nur Übersetzungen von Google sind. Es sind viele Fehler enthalten und auf Fehlermeldungen wird seitens des App Herstellers nicht reagiert. Schade Eigentlich, denn die Idee ist nicht schlecht. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for the review. We carefully review each and every feedback we get so we want to follow this through - please get in touch via ios@mondly.com. Looking forward to hearing from you, Ioana, Customer Care ### 1/5 — Payed premium, doesn’t give access *2019-08-26, version 7.1.13* I just bought a yearly premium subscription and I don’t have access. The payment has gone through that allows access and I’m still yet to be able to access my lessons. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Terrible enunciation *2019-08-19, version 7.1.13* Afrikaans does not sound like the digital created language used on this app Julle moet maar vier probeer ### 1/5 — This is a SCAM!!! *2019-08-19, version 7.1.13* Don’t download. It constantly harasses you to buy the package to access the “all content,” when you do it doesn’t allow access to anything, it just demands more money. And don’t get me started on the horrible robotic voices that mispronounce all the words... ### 1/5 — Digital voice ?! *2019-06-13, version 7.1.13* I just downloaded it two days ago and, like what a commenter mentioned in May, most of the voices are just digital. I can barely understand what they are saying and it’s not helpful for learning pronunciation. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-05-11, version 7.1.13* App uses machine voices instead of actual voice actors (every 30th word might be an actual voice to be fair) ensuring its impossible to tell how to pronounce things correctly ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Die beste Sprachlernapp Allerzeiten *2026-06-02* Leider gibt es bei Afrikaans, keine Aussprachefunktion zum Aussprache üben!! Die Chat-Funktion, gibt es bei keiner meiner gewählten Sprachen, schade wirklich schade, es macht wirklich viel Spaß!! ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2025-12-08, version 7.1.13* I love it!! ### 5/5 — Amazing so far *2025-07-11* It’s a really good game ( sad to pay) but now I can understand better what my family says! ### 5/5 — Just download it. *2025-04-21* I’m learning Afrikaans and it’s actually been fun and easy with this app. I’m enjoying it and definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Umfangreich. *2024-11-24* Abwechslungsreich. ### 5/5 — So macht lernen Spaß *2024-09-02* Spielerische App zum Lernen von Afrikaans. Ich bin zuversichtlich, dass ich die Sprache damit gut lernen kann. ### 5/5 — I’m on my way to understanding *2024-09-02, version 7.1.13* It’s manageable, understandable, and not frustrating. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2024-06-20* This helped me learn Afrikaans very well and I love it! ### 5/5 — Voice change *2024-06-13* Could there possibly be a human voice instead of a robotic one. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-05-06, version 7.1.13* This is probably the best language app I’ve used this is helpful because I like South Africa --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
