I HIGHLY recommend paying for the full version too, literally only $10 and it gives you so much more access. It gives you the plurals for verbs and some nouns, and in their recent update it breaks down and shows which words belong to which dialect. Native speakers can also add to it helping increase its dictionary. I can’t even explain all the benefits this app has in one message. It even offers an insanely useful phrasebook with practice sentences and story resources that are beneficial for listening and reading. I’m literally in love with this app and have been using it since December 2023. **Developer response:** Wallah inta 7ayati :) Thank you so much for your very kind review. I’m glad you find the app useful, I try my best to keep improving it and making it better for those learning Levantine Arabic. I have a big update coming soon with full lessons and interactive tests, so look out for that! If you want to have a hand in shaping the app please email me at arcopodev@gmail.com. It would be really useful to hear any suggestions or improvements you have! Thanks Timothy ### 5/5 — So helpful *2024-05-30, version 3* Very useful and complete app, constantly upgrading too!! Keep up the good work whoever designed this. :) ### 5/5 — i love this app so much *2024-03-31* saved my life. ### 5/5 — Great for Lebanese Arabic *2024-03-31* I live in Sydney and levanic Arabic is the dialect spoken by Lebanese Australian elders. It’s been really fun learning as a non Arabic user this app has been way more useful then usual Arabic phrase app. ### 5/5 — Helpful team *2024-02-29* Responsive to requests for updates and improvements. The app works great and is really an invaluable resource for Arabic learners. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind review. New features coming soon so hopefully you will enjoy them!! ### 5/5 — Excellent App and Developer Team *2024-02-28* Having a Levantine dictionary is very helpful in itself but the developer team was also even better with this product as they really take suggestions about improvements into account and incorporate them. I can’t recommend this dictionary enough it’s worth every dollar of your investment as an Arabic learner. ### 5/5 — Hats off to the creators of this app!! *2024-01-26* Wow, finally a fantastic resource for the Levantine dialect! I’ve been trying to learn spoken Lebanese for years. This is SO helpful and well done. ### 5/5 — Good phrases *2022-08-15, version 1.0* A good overview of Arabic phrases, updated regularly to expand your speaking ability in Levantine Arabic ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mant *2026-06-21, version 5.01* I think I need to have an idea of the alphabet to get started ### 1/5 — bad new update *2026-06-18* this has always been one of my go-to resources for Levantine Arabic as a dictionary. the new update not only hides the dictionary behind another button, but you try to scroll through it and it wants you to subscribe, so you're effectively locked out of reading the dictionary unless you know exactly what you're looking for. imagine trying to read a physical dictionary and you go to page 3 but you need to buy the whole websters 12 book collection to read the words on one single page... also the app now feels suspiciously vibe-coded (the first update had all white text on white background making everything invisible) which i hope is not the case. i preferred the older, jenkier version that just worked. the UI design overall feels not intuitive, and now very obviously funnels you to the lessons, some of which don't even work anymore (youtube video links broken/deleted). i just want a dictionary honestly, so making the main feature hidden seems like a huge step backward. i know it's tough to build an app and to monetize it, but this feels really bad and doesn't encourage me to subscribe at all. i hope this is just a phase and it gets rolled back or something improves. sad to see this app degrade so much. **Developer response:** Hi, please could you email mail@learnlevantine.com . You shouldn’t be unable to access the dictionary that’s a bug and I can restore your access if you let me know your email address. Sorry about that! It would be great to hear your suggestions to for how I can bring the dictionary back front and center too. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Greedy subscription *2026-02-14* The price is $10 a month and $50 a year. Be warned! **Developer response:** Hi Monica, sorry if you found the pricing of the app expensive. We give users 7 days for free to try the app and see if it’s useful before they ever have to pay. We are adding in many new features to make it worth it :) ### 3/5 — Can’t start some exercises *2026-04-24, version 4.5* I can’t start some exercises because I have to pay… the second I touch my screen the add pops up and I can’t click on start! It’s weird but I’m sure it’s a bug. I’m on IPhone. I’m talking about early levels like greeting. ### 3/5 — Needs improvements *2025-03-27* I expected it to have real voice of someone from the levantine pronouncing the words. But it ended up being a machine voice that sounded so fake and different from real levantine arabic as arab myself. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2025-01-04, version 3.1* The voice assist says the phrases incorrectly in some cases unfortunately. I would run it by a native speaker where you’re unsure ### 4/5 — wonderful! only one qualm. *2026-06-17* Can’t see any thing on the new update. everything is whited out and can’t read. plead fix or change the letters to black **Developer response:** Hi, sorry about that I should have fixed that issue in update 5.01. Could you check if it worked and please email me at mail@learnlevantine.com ### 4/5 — Helpful, but needs more words *2025-03-09, version 3.1* Very helpful, especially the audio for words. However, many words still aren’t available and relies on web search ### 4/5 — App is good but majority of the words are not pronounced properly *2024-10-03, version 3.1* I speak Egyptian Dialect and fusha and wanted to learn some phrases etc as I watch a lot of levantine series. After purchasing it the dictionary is good, the range of vocabulary etc but the pronunciation of the words are not right on most of the audios. As I am already an Arabic speaker I can differentiate between the errors but a non speaking person will not be able to. The written vowels are quite accurate but the voice pronounces it wrong because it is more like an AI and not recorded by a native speaker. That’s the only reason why I am giving it 4 stars. ### 5/5 — Well designed & no-nonsense app for everyday practice *2026-07-12* I have been looking for a daily learning resource for the levantine dialect for a while and Learn Levantine Arabic does not disappoint. The design is minimalist and beautiful, which makes it easy to focus on the learning process. With regard to the contents, I look forward to future updates! My only suggestion would be to add a user dictionary that can be edited via the browser and added to the flash cards. I purchased the full version, which is the best choice if you want to use it for your studies. It’s priced very fair for the amount of resources it provides. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Keeping up with Levantine *2026-06-16, version 5.01* I forgot how I found out about this app but it’s all I can ask and more to refresh my memory when it comes to words in Levantine. Also, it’s the first dictionary EVER which allows you to add new words, which I do constantly. I work and interact with people from Syria to Lebanon to Egypt and so many have different ways to say the same expression, and I need to record all of these for research purposes. Thanks Timothy for the quick responses and for being so helpful. Great app. ### 5/5 — What happened *2026-06-15* Hey man the browser is worse now. It’s slower and more confusing. Please change it back **Developer response:** Hi which browser are you having problems with? Please email me mail@learnlevantine.com so I can fix this issue for you ### 5/5 — wonderful! only one qualm. *2026-05-06* this app is so effective and i have the full version as well! the only thing i kinda wish it had was a way to slow down the translation. but other than that its wonderful :)! shukran ### 5/5 — This is the one. *2026-03-29* Thank you for creating this. ### 5/5 — So many resources in one! *2025-01-02* I’ve been trying to learn Levantine Arabic for months and until I found this app, I’ve had to study from so many different sources — Preply, Mango, Duolingo, YouTube, Alif — just to name a few. And they were all missing things I needed. But this app gives you all the tools you could need for learning the language! I love it, and considering a physical Levantine dictionary would have cost me $30, getting the full version of this app for $9.99 is a steal! I especially love the newer feature ‘Resources’ that introduces stories and practice conversations. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks so much for your kind review. It’s very rewarding knowing people find the app useful, as I just work on it on my own. I hope that you’ll be pleased to hear there’s a whole new section coming to the app soon, with full Lessons . If you can get in touch with me at arcopodev@gmail.com I can get you early access and it would be great to have your feedback. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Perfect for learning Levantine Arabic *2024-10-28* This is a great app for learning how to speak Levantine Arabic. Thank you devs. **Developer response:** Thank you very much that’s great to hear. I just work on the app myself so it’s great to know that you find it useful! There’s a big update coming soon to the app with a new Lessons section so I hope that will bring you benefit too! Timothy ### 5/5 — very helpful app *2024-09-27, version 3.1* please add more vocabulary !! ### 5/5 — UNDERRATED *2024-09-20* life saver. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-08-23* Je parle en français désolé je vous jure cette application elle est incroyable par exemple moi mes parents ne m’ont jamais appris ma langue d’origine du coup pour la famille au bled c’est compliqué mais cette application elle est vraiment précise genre c’est incroyable --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
