### 4/5 — Sehr unterhaltsam

*2026-06-21*

Sehr nützlich und hilfreich. Gut abgestimmt auf die Belange der Lernenden. Kritik übe ich an der manchmal extrem schnellen Sprache von einigen Leuten.
Ansonsten bin ich sehr zufrieden!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! Some authentic content can be fast, but repeated listening helps a lot. You can also choose easier lessons or courses with clearer audio as you build comprehension.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-03-21*

Excellent content and options. Great for comprehension and vocabulary practice.

**Developer response:** Thanks! Great to hear LingQ is helping with comprehension and vocabulary practice.

### 4/5 — 毎日の習慣

*2025-11-03, version 5.8.7*

私は特に語学に高いモチベーションがあるわけではないが、電車に乗るときできるだけ聴くように習慣づけたら、少しずつ理解できるようになってきた。リスニングとリーディングだけでは、文法の理解が不十分になるので、文法は別に勉強することをお勧めします。

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2025-07-31*

It is a wonderful app. Love it. For the first time, I feel like I am getting help learning French.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! We’re glad you’re enjoying your experience with LingQ!

### 1/5 — What’s the point of 20 words trial

*2025-07-16*

Like cmon now for a beginner you get to 20 words in the 1st sentence.  I even misclicked and got a basic word counted and then I couldn’t remove it.  Trial should maybe last more than 20 seconds

**Developer response:** Please note that you can use the free version of LingQ. As a free user, you have unlimited access to all of our content in all languages. It would be a bit more manual to look up words you don't know once you reach the limit of creating 20 LingQs. Need more LingQs or a Premium trial? Email me at tiagor@lingq.com

### 3/5 — Good app but…

*2025-07-15*

…. given it isn’t cheap I would expect a slightly higher level of polish. Give us landscape mode, for instance, and make it easier to have a list of favourites rather than the playlist function, that doesn’t really work. Make it easier to import podcasts direct from a phone please - currently I need to download onto my computer at home, then import over a browser - which I therefore literally never do due to the inconvenience.

Having said all that, for content slightly above my level, it’s much easier using this than even a kindle, due to the speed of translation and highlighting function.

### 5/5 — Sehr gute Website - ich benütze sie fast täglich

*2025-06-24*

Ich benütze LingQ seit mehr als einem Jahr, um mein Französisch zu verbessern. LingQ bietet eine Vielzahl von Texten unterschieldichen Schweregrads, die sehr unterschiedliche Themen behandeln. Da ich nach dem Prinzip vorgehe, nur das zu lesen, was mich interessiert - mich interessiert vieles - bin ich bei LingQ gut aufgehoben. Ich kann aich experimentieren, dh Texte lesen, die mein Niveau überschreiten, um zu sehen, was ich noch an Sprachkenntnissen erwerben muss. Was ich etwas schade finde, ist, das die Texte nicht besonders aktuell sind, doch das ist nicht wirklich problematisch. Dann gibt es Texte, die schwer zu verstehen sind, weil der Sprecher einen schweren Akzent hat oder weil er zu schnell spricht. Für mich, und ich glaube für viele auch, ist „hören&verstehen“ eine Hauptschwierigkeit beim Französischlernen. (Schneligkeit, das Verschlucken von Lauten, Verlan und Argot, die vielen idiomatischen Wendungen mit „en, y, c‘est“, die man kaum mitkriegt). Die ist nicht wirklich gelöst bei LingQ. Doch das bieten die anderen Sites, die Sprachen anbieten auch nicht an. Ich habe dazu einige Ideen, doch ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob sie im Rahmen von LingQ gelöst werden können. Jeder ist in dieser Hinsicht auf sich selbst angewiesen und muss seinen eigenen Weg finden, damit fertig zu werden.

### 5/5 — Brilliant Learning Tool

*2025-06-05*

Simple to use, unique, learning tool. No other apps necessary you can go a long way using only LingQ.

### 1/5 — Arnaque au faux essai gratuit

*2025-05-25*

J’ai souscrit à une version d’essai gratuite de cette application, mais je n’ai plus pu accéder à mon identifiant Apple pour annuler l’abonnement avant la fin de la période d’essai. Le mot de passe était correct, mais l’accès était bloqué. Curieusement, j’ai pu me reconnecter avec le même mot de passe juste après que 147 € aient été prélevés pour un abonnement annuel. Je trouve cela très suspect. Je vais essayer d’annuler ce paiement via ma banque. Faites attention aux essais gratuits.

### 4/5 — Carl

*2025-04-27*

LingQ makes French much more fun to learn. The stats provided that tell me how many words I know, how many more words I need to know in order to consider myself reaching the next level (intermediate 1 in my case), how many times I have listened to each lesson or how long I’ve read all make me realize how much progress I’ve made and continue to make. It’s just a really great learning tool.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! We’re glad you’re enjoying your experience with LingQ!
