I can’t seem to get the sound to work with my blue tooth devices and there is no way to adjust the audio playback. I mean it always goes fast and most of the time I can’t get the words out fast enough. Other than that I do not regret buying it. I’m very much looking forward to the updates. ### 2/5 — LinguoAmateur *2018-02-09* I’ve reached to Lesson 16. So far, I have spotted quite a lot of “glitches/errors”, in particular, from Lesson 11 onwards, for examples: Part 1, L4, “Read it” - there is a question that just can’t be answered right regardless of whatever bubbles you tap; Part 2, L12, 13, & 16, “Situation” - score/% bar just doesn’t show any progress after you go thru the section; Part 2, L16 - the “Text” section is missing re the sentences said by the male speaker. I noticed too that the German App also carries the same mistake in L4. Hm, I’m waiting to check out wether there would be similar glitches in their Italian & Spanish Apps. On top, these Apps don’t provide any grammatical guidance/info, and there are far too many repetitions in the “Vocab” section. For those reasons mentioned above, I could only give 2.5 out of 5 stars - barely passed ;-b ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2013-09-06, version 2.1* Pretty easy to follow. ### 3/5 — Caro *2013-07-05, version 2.1* Esta muy interesante la aplicacion, muy buena pero esta muy cara pagar por cada video q tarda tan pocos minutos ### 4/5 — Super nice *2013-05-15, version 2.1* Me encanta el frances y esta Es una buena oportunidad ### 4/5 — French app *2013-04-01* I love this app! ### 5/5 — Great App *2011-06-07, version 1.2* After visiting Paris, I made myself a promise to learn French. I was recommended this app by my university instructor and am already looking forward to visit Paris again as I will be prepared to communicate in French language soon. ### 5/5 — Cute graphics & easy to follow *2011-03-26, version 1.0* I have been using Hello Hello French on my iPad. Happy to see it made it's way to the iPhone! Great if you don't have a lot of free time but want to learn a language on the go.... I think it's better than Rosetta Stone. Looking forward to more languages! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not updated *2026-01-18, version 4.1* Very difficult to learn , takes you from one page to another ### 1/5 — Can’t Restore Purchase No Customer Service *2018-04-22, version 3.6* I paid for the full version after some updates it doesn’t work anymore. Emailed 3 times no answer at all. Apple Store takes no responsibility either. Rip off don’t buy! ### 1/5 — Disappointing. This turned into a tourist app. *2018-02-03, version 3.6* The old app was more objective oriented and had more to offer in the free app. I could go right to a category and build my vocabulary. For the $20, it was the best alternative to Rosetta Stone. Now, the old app is not supported and this new one is wasting my short time with a dating conversation scenario. It should be a separate app and offer a little more if I’m going to fork over another $20. Please bring back the old app. ### 1/5 — too bad *2012-02-12, version 1.5* only one lesson，you will pay all lessons，it's too bad ### 1/5 — scam *2012-02-10, version 1.5* at $14.99 per level and 3 levels. no mention of any fee in the description. also i find it an insult and ignorant arrogance to represent the English language with a US flag, my language is of European descent not some Yank origination so either use the English flag or nothing at all!! :-| ### 1/5 — Price! *2012-02-09, version 1.5* Need to pay for lessons? ### 1/5 — Misleading *2012-02-09, version 1.5* Same complaint as others. ### 1/5 — Scam *2012-02-09, version 1.5* This app may be a great learning tool ... I can say that their business ethic is not great. They report that the price had dropped from $14.99 to free but then lock all the lessons so that you still have to pay $14.99 to get the content. Very misleading. ### 1/5 — Lie! *2012-02-09, version 1.5* This app is really good, great learning curve and great quality. but,... Do NOT pay for 14.99 it is a lie. after that you must pay another 14 or something to unlock lessons. I don't know what to call this!!!! ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch *2012-02-09, version 1.5* This app uses a bait and switch tactic, one that Apple should be aware of. No where in the description of the app does it tell you that the lessons are locked and you need to pay $14.99 for them. If they offer the app for free they are supposed to make the purchaser aware that there are in app purchases BEFORE they download the app. So this begs the question: if you pay $14.99 for the app at the normal price, do you STILL have to pay another $14.99 to unlock the lessons? If so, this is one of the most colossal rip-offs in the AppStore. You can learn just as much French by listening to some of the excellent FREE podcasts available in iTunes. The French is very basic and very outdated. I noticed several of the flashcard congrugations are incorrect. It's important to be able to speak French correctly or the French will look at you very strangely. The incorrect sentences this app offers are silly. They should have picked up on that especially since they are charging $14.99. Tant pis as I had high hopes for this app to use as a quick refresher before I return to France. Buyer beware. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Très Bon *2017-03-02, version 3.5* Very well made app with great features. ### 5/5 — French *2016-02-21, version 3.5* Excellent app, I am enjoying it and I think it is very didactic and easy. I would certainly recommend to anyone. C'est parfait! ### 5/5 — good *2015-04-14, version 3.5* nice app for the beginners ### 5/5 — Best language learning app *2014-11-24, version 3.5* It's a bit of mystery to me why more people haven't caught on to Hello Hello, but if you are reading this, rest assured, you've found the right app. I'm a Spanish teacher and I first used Hello Hello to learn Mandarin and now I'm working on French. I've checked out just about every language learning app out there and Hello Hello is the only one that has taken the time to apply proven language learning methodology correctly, and, most importantly, it works. There's nothing terribly flashy about the app; it focusses on 30 high frequency conversations situations and then guides you through learning them through listening, reading, speaking and writing. It's really that simple, but you won't find another app out there that does this. Why? My guess is that it isn't all that easy. People seem to love flash card apps, spaced repetition and games, and I suppose that is because they are easy and fun, but those apps really can't teach you the language; they can only reinforce bits and pieces of it. Hello Hello forces you to bridge the gaps on your own. The conversations aren't particularly exciting, but they explore each topic thoroughly and give you a ton to learn. The trick is that you have do most of the work on your own. You need to figure out the grammar, make the connections, learn the vocab. But, like it or not, that is the best way to make it stick. This app gets you ready to communicate with other people in the language you are learning, and I've found no others that do it nearly as well as Hello Hello. ### 5/5 — Learning French is really simplified *2013-09-03* Each lesson got good situation based animated video, a detailed vocabulary list to refer any kind of word, word games and comic scripts to remember the lessons. Learning French is really simplified. At 75% discounted complete course, its a good bargained course. ### 5/5 — Finally a good app *2013-09-03, version 2.1* Finally, I have found a good French language learning iPhone app. Animated and video based lessons, recording based practice are some best features of this application. 5 stars ### 5/5 — Efficient French course *2013-09-03, version 2.1* The app got efficient study material and good learning process. Features like reminders, word of the days make the app very efficient to study in breaks of 1 or two days. At $14.99 the complete course at discount is worth purchasing. ### 5/5 — Nice app to learn French *2013-08-06, version 2.1* I am happy with the app, functions like viewing texts along with animated videos, use of comics characters, really hooked me with the app. Its an useful application to learn French language and its easy to follow. The app worth $14.99 for the 30 complete lessons. ### 5/5 — Très bien. *2013-06-09, version 2.1* Très bien. ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-05-01, version 2.1* It is absolutely amazing, I love learning French now this app is soooo cool --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
