Quizzes should not give questions related to written Kannada. ### 1/5 — Error *2023-07-18, version 1.9.1* Not able to hear and there is a sound glitch in the app after the new update. ### 2/5 — Ad videos cannot skip nor close after watching *2025-03-15* I am using the free version of the app but inspite of watching the complete videos I cannot close the ad neither I can skip the video when the option comes on the top left hand of the screen. Doesn’t give me a chance to access the usefulness of the app to go in for the paid version without ad’s. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I just tested it on my side, and it seems to be working fine. Could you please try again and see if it works for you now? If you're still facing the issue, feel free to reach out to me on WhatsApp at 8618316754—I’d be happy to help! 😊 ### 3/5 — Ads keep popping up *2025-03-18, version 3.3.1* Very irritating to see ads popping up every now & then ### 3/5 — Can’t skip advertisement in 13mini *2024-11-13, version 3.0* On 13mini ads skip is hidden behind time hence can’t skip advertisement. 3star for now due to ads ### 3/5 — not good *2024-07-21* When I get a 100% right it says I got something wrong in the quiz when I know I got them right! There’s way too many ads when practicing or during a quiz **Developer response:** Hi Aarush, Thank you for your review. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused. Request you to please reach out to me on WhatsApp at 8618316754 and help me with more details. I will definitely look into it. Regarding the ads, I apologize for the bad experience. However, I would request you to please understand that I need a way to monetize the app to keep the app free for everyone. If you want to get rid of the ads, request you to please go ahead and purchase the ad-free experience at a nominal price and it is for a lifetime. If you have any more questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out to me. -- Varun Anantha ### 3/5 — you learn by viewing why??????? *2024-07-14, version 2.3* I thought that this app is good but it made you learn by viewing and not by doing please see Duolingo please ### 4/5 — App is good. But too much ad kills the momentum. *2025-04-21, version 3.3.1* There should be less ad. Or there should be ad free paid version. ### 4/5 — The app is good but have some flaws *2025-01-06* 1. The application gets stuck if you are marking a word as completed and suddenly click on another word. 2. There should be an option to freeze the streak so that if a person is busy or in an emergency , can continue next day. 3.There should be more chapters for certain conversations . 4.The progress should be chapter by chapter so that the learner can keep a track of it. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for your detailed feedback—really appreciate it! 😊 1️⃣ The issue with marking words as completed has been fixed in the latest update. Please update and give it a try! 2️⃣ A streak freeze is a great idea, but it goes against the core definition of a streak. I'll still think about ways to make learning more flexible. 3️⃣ More chapters are on the way! Stay tuned for updates, and make sure to update the app whenever a new version is available. 4️⃣ The progress is already structured chapter by chapter! You can track and learn category by category by visiting Learn → Words in the app. Thanks again for your valuable input! Hope you’re enjoying learning Kannada. Keep going! 🚀😊" ### 4/5 — Nothing just goooooooog appppp *2024-10-12, version 2.3* Very good app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app to learn Kannada *2026-06-04* I am learning Kannada through this Kannada learning app .The lessons are simple, clear, and easy to understand.

If you follow the app properly, it’s incredibly well-structured and easy to stick with. It offers a 10-day course, a flexi course, and plenty of quizzes that really help reinforce what you learn. What I especially love is that every concept comes with great examples and sentences, so you actually understand how to use Kannada in real-life situations. The quizzes make it super easy to pick things up quickly and actually remember them. Within a short time, I felt confident enough to start forming basic conversations with Kannada speakers, which was exactly what I was hoping for. The content is practical, well-paced, and thoughtfully designed for everyday usage. I’m using the Pro version, and I genuinely don’t regret a single penny. You can clearly see how much effort has gone into building this app and huge credit to Varun for creating something so effective and user-friendly. Your money definitely won’t go to waste. If you want to learn Kannada in a simple, structured, and motivating way, this is hands down the best app out there. I highly, highly recommend it. Try it and see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
