If you are looking to truly know and understand your target language then this is the app for you. Good job development team! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2020-12-20* Easy to learn and very thorough ### 5/5 — Inovador *2020-10-31* Ensino leve ### 5/5 — Norwegian lessons *2020-10-14, version 7.1.13* Very challenging method of teaching a language. Enjoying the lessons! Kimberly Stenerson ### 5/5 — Learning Norsk *2020-09-19* I love the mix of words phrases and being able to practice pronouncing words. ### 5/5 — Tres bien! *2020-09-03* This app is so fun, and so easy. I am learning French right now, and I’m going to add Norwegian. Well worth the discounted lifetime access to 40 languages! ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2020-06-28* Muito bom! ### 5/5 — Hard to find Norwegian lessons when you know nothing about your heritage. *2020-06-25* My last name is Helley. My grandparents are from Hel, Norway. I grew up eating lefsa, lutefisk, and krumkaka. (?..) I’m currently I’m at level 12 now in around 2 months. I don’t think I will be fluent in 8 months as the app says. Apparently I know 4.2% of the language. However, I’ve learned a ton! Give it a try. After week two, things start to come together. And after 8 weeks, I’ve really “started” to get the feel for the language. It’s sometimes redundant because the translation of “egg” in norsk is... egg.. but then they throw in a full speed sentence that keeps you on your toes. I really enjoy the app and I feel if I stick with it I’ll truly be able to speak Norwegian. This is a real review. The first one I’ve ever done. But I wanted to say something positive about this system. Look up my last name. I live in Bozeman Montana and I am not a robot making reviews. There’s my two cents. Takk!! ### 5/5 — Good app *2020-06-18* Very nice ### 5/5 — Helpful! *2020-06-17* I’m by no means advanced in my understanding of Norwegian, but the repetition and varied recollection methods used in this app have, in fact, increased my understanding of the basics quite quickly. This is saying a lot because my memory is quite bad. ### 5/5 — Love it all! *2020-05-21, version 7.1.13* The lessons are not only fun and short so you can complete them in between meetings or projects, they are also very helpful. If you get something wrong, they give an explanation as to why so you can improve. I also love the leaderboards since you can have a sense of competition to push you forward. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-05-20* Just about a month into it and can’t believe how much I can retain. I look forward to the lessons daily ### 5/5 — 感兴趣 *2020-04-15* 谢谢 ### 4/5 — Pretty good, but free version is very limited *2020-03-10* Overall this app works pretty well for learning the basics of a language, but it doesn’t let you spend a lot of time each day unless you pay to upgrade. In other words, if you don’t want to pay, it will take you a long time to learn a language in any serious way. The other leading app that I’m sure you know of will essentially let you study all day every day for free. The second minor issue I have is that the animations slow down how quickly you can answer questions. If you’re really fast, you’ll be quicker than it can handle because it’s busy trying to make the interface look slick. The problem is that if you are faster than it, it won’t register all of the words you tapped, and you’ll have to waste time moving them around in the sentence until it’s right. Lastly, the chat bot is a really great idea, but it doesn’t work very well in practice, I’m guessing because a non-native speaker of any language is never going to pronounce words and phrases as accurately as a native speaker. It’s actually not bad considering that, but you’ll never have any type of meaningful learning with it unless you are really accurate with 100% of your word pronunciation. Overall this is a great, fun app to introduce you to a new language, but there are better options if you’re looking to seriously learn. ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER to learn Norwegian *2020-02-22* God morgen everybody hva heter du? So to translate god morgen means good morning and hva heter du means what is your name. So you can learn a lot and have fun too! I learned that in just two days! So I highly recommend this app if you want to learn Norwegian. -Molly A.

Best, the Mondly Team ### 1/5 — Canceling impossible *2021-11-30, version 7.1.13* I cant find a way to get out of this app! ### 1/5 — Trap *2018-07-23, version 6.9.17* No way to cancel subscription, $$ trap. ### 2/5 — Norwegian Mondly *2019-10-21* A little slow to start with, but after a week things start to become available without paying a subscription. So far so good. Will keep using. Also very good for pronunciation. Seems to have locked lessons again so no new material available . Painfully slow unless you subscribe. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for the feedback. I'm sorry to see that you did not fully enjoy the Mondly experience. If you have any suggestions on how to get a 5-star rating from you, please let us know at ios@mondly.com and we'll get back to you right away. Looking forward to hearing from you, Ioana, Customer Care ### 2/5 — Payment issues *2018-06-30, version 6.3.3* App works alright, it said I could pay for a year for 50.00$ but when I subscribed it instantly charged me 13.99$ and I do not see a way to change it to pay for the year I would much rather pay 50$ a year instead of 13.99 a month which works out too 167.88$ a year. I want someone to get back to me ASAP as that is a huge mislead on the app creator and if I can’t pay the 50$ a year this is way to expensive! ### 2/5 — Good app but not impressed with the greed. *2017-05-16, version 5.5* This was a really good program and I would have given it 5 stars but I paid for the premium version and then six months later they blocked it with an update and said I now have to pay a subscription. Online thievery. If I sold you a car for an agreed upon price and then a year later came back to you and said I wanted more money you'd probably laugh in my face. How is this fair? If you want to charge a subscription for new purchasers fine. But don't punish those who've already paid you for it. ### 2/5 — 처음결제할때 1달러 *2016-01-05* 왜 취소가 안됐나요?ㅠㅠ 당연히 된줄 알았는데 그대로 결제 넘어갔네요...벌써 몇달이 지났는데 취소해주세요. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for contacting us. Please email us details of this issue to ios@mondlylanguages.com so we can sort this out. Thanks, Roxana ### 3/5 — Mais ou menos *2020-09-16, version 7.1.13* Vamos lá . Comprei este app há uns 5 anos atrás ou mais ,quando não havia a maldita subscrição. Sempre houveram pequenos erros na funcionalidade do app....uma hora te ensinam usar “en” em alguma frase ,mais pra frente quando eu utilizava o “en” ,na mesma frase,como ensinado, dava erro e a palavra correta já não era mais “en” e sim “ei”... Com várias outras palavras acontece a mesma coisa , só não vou listar para não me alongar muito nesta avaliação. Onde diz “chatbot” , que simula uma conversa ,aparece a opção de segurar o botão do microfone para se responder as perguntas , onde diz “aperte e segure” para falar ao invés de escolher uma das opções escritas pré definidas , porém não funciona. E eu já dei a permissão de acesso ao microfone , ou seja , o problema não é na configuração app , configuração esta que revi para me certificar que não havia problemas em relação a isso. Também há problemas em relação a algumas palavras , onde o programa faz a pronúncia de uma palavra ou frase ,mas não é o que está escrito o que leva o aluno ao erro e confusão na hora de entender . Aprendi bastante nestes mais de cinco anos estudando norueguês por aqui e até já consegui conversar , nada muito complexo ,com um nativo mas confesso que ultimamente estes tipos de problemas andam me tirando o interesse de usar o app ,o que pra mim ao menos , é uma pena . ### 3/5 — It can never understand what I’m saying *2020-04-20* When u use chatbote it never understands anything I say but other than that it is awesome **Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you weren't able to fully enjoy the Mondly experience.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Ioana- Mondly Languages ### 3/5 — Ease Into a New Language *2019-02-18* The lessons are short & focused on one topic for a small dose of a new language. It's point based, like a game for those who find that motivating & with short time slots to devote. The sound is good for pronunciation, with a slow option. Haven't seen much yet on the subtleties of verb tense or word ending changes, & no guide for learning the pronunciation of letters unique to the language, ie, “kJ” sounds like “sh.” There's also no way to see a full word list for more intense study, & if you want to do more at a time, all you can do is redo a session - 14 hours between lessons, what's with that? For serious learners, it's a bit frustrating, but will introduce a language until you're ready to dive in more seriously. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your input.
