### 1/5 — Poor job of importing YouTube

*2026-02-15*

Often says no captions on video, but there are .  Will not import.

**Developer response:** YouTube imports require captions that LingQ can access, and some auto-generated captions are not available in a compatible format even if they appear on YouTube. Please send examples to support@lingq.com
 and we’ll check them.

### 5/5 — LingQing is worth it!

*2025-09-29, version 5.8.4*

The way the LingQ app is set up makes learning a new language make sense and easier.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past “Create Profile”

*2024-07-04*

I downloaded the app, tapped Get Started. It will not let me create a username or password. I can’t find any customer support on the app or the website. And no,I don’t already have an account.

**Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing! I kindly ask you to email support@lingq.com to report this issue. Our team will be glad to assist you further.

### 3/5 — Pay to Learn

*2024-04-28*

Hello! So I wanted to say that this os a very good app. However, it will not let me save words to learn and hear the pronunciations when tapping on them, unless it’s only 20 words or below. I found that a bit upsetting. But thank you for making this.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that. I invite you to give LingQ another try by offering you a longer trial period. Email me at tiagor@lingq.com to get set up.

### 5/5 — Life changing app right here

*2020-10-06*

This is a steal considering the price and the fact that you’re supporting Steve and the rest of the staff that works on it and not some corporation. The reader interface makes it incredibly easy to read interesting content and makes it so learning new vocabulary is a breeze. I highly recommend LingQ to everyone looking to learn a new language.
