### 3/5 — Option to toggle subtitles

*2026-07-16*

Saw another review state it, but having the words appear under the object would help a lot as well. An option to toggle it on and off to secure “Immersion” as well would be fine.

It’s a great app. Definitely so much fun with all the little animations. It’d just be nice to have the words written out.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback! We are so glad to hear that your children are having fun with all the little animations.

While our app focuses on an immersive audio and visual experience for early language learners, we completely agree that having text labels with an on/off toggle is a fantastic idea. Our team is currently exploring ways to introduce written words in a future update.

Thank you for helping us make Studycat even better and happy learning.

### 3/5 — Moyen

*2026-05-03*

### 3/5 — Good for children

*2026-04-29*

It’s a good app for kids, but it should have Subtitles in the picture, like “Hund” there should also be “Hund” in the Pic. Also a Translation in the subtitles would be nice too

**Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful review and feedback!

We are glad to hear that you find Studycat to be a good app for kids. 

The reason our games emphasize visual illustrations without text is to promote immersion—helping children learn words through context, much like how they pick up their first language. However, we completely understand that seeing the written word and its translation is incredibly helpful for both kids and parents.

We are always looking for ways to improve, and your suggestion about subtitles is something our team will definitely consider for future updates! If you have any other ideas, feel free to share them with us at help@studycat.com.

Viel Spaß beim Lernen!

### 3/5 — Указала возраст ребёнка три года а оно дает задание для чтения по буквам на немецком

*2025-12-25*

Очень плохо учитывается возраст ребёнка и указала что мой сын маленький а задание начинают давать не для его возраста игры

**Developer response:** Нам очень жаль, что задания показались слишком сложными для возраста вашего сына. Мы стремимся к тому, чтобы игры Studycat были понятны даже самым маленьким пользователям, и обязательно учтём ваш комментарий в нашей дальнейшей работе над улучшением программы.

### 4/5 — Really enjoying this

*2025-11-10*

We love this app, but wish it wouldn’t let you move on or would add another question to get correct before giving a star.

**Developer response:** We are so happy to hear that you love the app! Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful suggestion about the star system and the level of challenge.
We appreciate you helping us make Studycat even better!

### 3/5 — Fun but not enough lessons

*2025-08-20*

This app is only enough content to last my five year old one month, but he finds it very fun and so does my three year old. It is more fun than Dinolingo but with less content

### 5/5 — My daughter has this and she asked to study.

*2025-07-28*

This app is great for all ages

**Developer response:** Thank you for the lovely feedback! 

We have new updates with Studycat German. Have a look!

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2025-04-29*

I love it so much because there is so much German to learn out there I would also give duolingo a 5 since it almost like this your learning a language maybe you know some already or not it’s also very engaging

**Developer response:** Thank you for this very kind and thoughtful review. We are happy you are enjoying learning with Studycat.

### 5/5 — So Fun!

*2025-04-22*

I’m using this for the first time today and I can already say a few things in German because the games help you pay more attention to what they’re saying! Danke, Studycat!

**Developer response:** Danke, Molly! Learn through play is the way!

### 4/5 — Excelent!!

*2025-04-22*

My daughter has loved this app!!!! 5 stars for it:)

### 5/5 — Amazing amazing

*2025-04-22*

The cat is really an amazing site for love how they’re interactive I would love I can’t believe that you haven’t heard about this if you haven’t but here’s the film so basically Sabin is an interactive learning apps for German when is Time for lesson anytime you don’t have a specific lesson have to do you can jump in I like Studycat i’m American and this is helping me  German 🇺🇸➕🇩🇪👍

**Developer response:** Thanks Jeffery!

### 3/5 — Study cat learner

*2025-02-23*

I think study cat is a very good app to learn languages. As you can imagine kids love to explore and try new games. Though you can only try new games if you subscribe which in my opinion is not the best because if your parents say no then you are stuck with plain games. I wish that kids can express them selves in the games no matter if you subscribe or not. If you do that you might get better ratings and let the kids have more fun. The other games look really fun and it’s a bummer not to try them.
Thank you

### 5/5 — Love this

*2024-10-03*

My 4 year old and 8 year olds both love this and are learning so quickly

**Developer response:** Thanks for your 5 stars review. We hope your kids continue to enjoy and learn from Studycat.

### 5/5 — Super für kleine Kinder im Ausland

*2024-09-13*

Meine Kinder wachsen mit Deutsch als Zweitsprache auf. Diese App ist super für meine vierjährige Tochter, um Vokabel spielerisch zu lernen

**Developer response:** Wir freuen uns, dass Ihre Tochter die App genießt. Wir hoffen, dass sie weiterhin mit Studycat lernt."

### 4/5 — Helps my 3 year old learn and it is so much fun.

*2024-08-22*

You can make it easy medium and hard me and Nora love it

### 2/5 — Not my type

*2024-05-25*

There is no challenge

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. We do try to keep the challenge level just right for young learners. Sounds like you are already too advanced. Thanks for sharing a review.

### 5/5 — Loving it!

*2024-05-03*

First language app that really caught my 4 year olds attention! I wish they made it in Italian!

**Developer response:** Thank you Marilee! We wish we had Italian as well and often talk about adding that along with Japanese. One day! Glad your 4 year old is enjoying Studycat and thanks for the 5 Star review.

### 1/5 — Ripped off

*2025-09-25*

It’s a rip off and pales horribly compared to other apps my kid is utilising to learn German. I highly recommend avoiding the company in general as I fear all their language apps as stupid as this one.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We want to understand more about this and help you as soon as possible. Please reach out to us at help@studycat.com. 


Thank you.

### 1/5 — Pas vraiment gagnant le changement

*2025-01-19*

J’ai cru à des modifications en mieux mais je suis EXTRÊMEMENT déçu j’aimerais bien revenir à la version précédente

**Developer response:** Merci pour vos gentils commentaires!

### 1/5 — 总体还行（孩子自己的感受无改动）

*2024-08-10*

我觉得这个软件很好玩，能在有趣的游戏中学习，给足了动力学习，而且映象深刻，德语脱口而出。但更新完难度降低太多了，变得没有挑战性，没乐趣了很多。

### 1/5 — 联系电话多少？

*2023-05-28*

如何取消订阅？网站怎么不能登陆？有联系电话吗？

**Developer response:** 得知您感到失望，我们深感遗憾。

### 1/5 — Wrong gender

*2023-03-01*

When looking for an app to help teach German to my granddaughter I came across your app, which I found being a fun way of learning for a five year old.
So far we only used the free part. While trying out I found among the animal exercise it provided only the letters to spell  die! Hase whilst the correct gender is masculine. I wrote to the developers on 8th Feb.
but had no reply by now,one month later.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear this, please can you email us on help@studycat.com and we will try to resolve this for you.

### 1/5 — 想找个客服怎么那么难

*2020-05-17*

### 1/5 — Não consigo cancelar a assinatura após o teste gratuito

*2020-05-14*

A funcionalidade de gerenciar a assinatura não está funcionando. Remete para um website que está fora do ar. Estou tentando acessar para cancelar há dois dias sem sucesso e hoje vejo que houve a cobrança no meu cartão. Tenho os prints da tela de erro. Gostaria de cancelar e receber o reembolso da cobrança indevida. Obrigada

**Developer response:** Obrigado por seus comentários. Lamentamos saber que você deseja cancelar. Envie um email para help@studycat.com e tentaremos ajudá-lo.

### 1/5 — Не работает запись голоса в уроке про животных

*2020-04-24*

Не работает запись голоса в уроке про животных

**Developer response:** Мы сожалеем, что у вас возникли эти проблемы.
Похоже, права доступа к микрофону не установлены. Чтобы включить доступ к микрофону, пожалуйста, следуйте этим инструкциям:

1. Зайдите в настройки
2. Выберите Конфиденциальность
3. Затем выберите микрофон

Если это не решит проблему, возможно, вам придется удалить, а затем переустановить приложение. При первом открытии игры с записью голоса она запросит у вас разрешение на доступ к микрофону в этот момент.

Если ни одно из этих решений не работает, пожалуйста, напишите нам на help@studycat.com

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2019-05-04, version 16.7.1*

Bought this app as an full version upgrade last year for $12.99 then they start charging me a monthly subscription fee of $4.99. Genius scam. $60 per year for this dinky app? Rent seeker!

### 1/5 — 구입햇는데 구입내역을 찾아오지 못하고 재결제하라고 뜹니다.

*2018-10-23*
