May you please update app ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2018-01-26, version 3.3.8* This is my Go-to app for learning languages. The ONLY thing I don't like is there is no lesson about WHY....like why is there an o in front of some words, or an e or an a, etc. one game tests you on it, but they never tell you why it is that way. Like which one is for singular and which is for plural, etc. Just wish there was more information in the lessons. No instructions for certain games, so you just kinda wing it. ### 4/5 — Update? *2017-09-18, version 3.3.8* iOS 11 is coming out. Time to update! ### 4/5 — Great app. *2016-04-07, version 3.3.8* App crashes on iPhone 5S iOS 8.3. However, it works perfectly on my iPhone 6 iOS 8.4 and iPhone 6 iOS 9.2.1. This application is great if you want to learn Portuguese. I just wish there was also a European Portuguese language option. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2016-03-04, version 3.3.8* I absolutely love this app!!! I have never learned this quickly before! This app makes it so fun to learn and so easy! You learn at your own pace. Again I love this app! Great for anyone who is just starting to learn a completely new language or just need a tad touch up! ### 5/5 — Really Fun! My favorite language app! *2016-01-28, version 3.3.8* This is a really great way to learn a new language! There are plenty of fun games to try and different ways to practice (spelling, listening, reading). I've tried many for learning Brazilian Portuguese and this is by far my favorite. ### 5/5 — Fun and refreshing vocab learning *2015-08-24, version 3.3.8* I didn't expect to get all I've gotten out of this app. As I'm learning Portuguese, it's still one of my go-to apps. What's great is that you get to review vocab in different ways using different skills. There's a lot of content also. I'd love to see more apps from this company. Maybe a more advanced level app. ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend *2015-06-08, version 3.3.8* I love this app so much! I have learned so many new words! I also write out each word five times for practice and hear the pronunciation from the app to help with accent marks! Each game helps you learn the language and the quest (aka goals) keep you wanting to beat each challenge and make it to the next level. Highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — What a Gem *2015-05-03, version 3.3.7* I needed help learning Portuguese and didn't like language learning apps until a friend told me about this one. The first three lessons are free and then you have to pay $4.99 for the 50+ other lessons. What is $5 when computer language programs costs hundreds of dollars? I love that Learn Portuguese has made learning a game that actually teaches you as you play. The games help you learn how to accurately pronounce, spell, and recognize words/grammar. It even teaches you grammar!! I like to break up this app with actually writing the words down to help my brain retain them; I also try not to spend more than an hour or so on it so I actually remember what I learn. If you're looking to learn Portuguese, I'd say give it a shot but also be prepared to be diligent in using it! ### 5/5 — Great Way to Learn Portuguese! *2014-07-14, version 3.3.4* This app has helped me learn so much and I feel like I have a photographic memory because I'm often surprised at how much I can remember. The reason it works so well is because the more you interact with a set of words, the more likely you are to remember them. The app offers a variety of clever games that help train language skills that you may not often actively think about, such as Error Recognition or Rapid Recall. Plus, the price of this app is great! $5 is a very inexpensive price for the learning experience you're getting. Try it out! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not for IOS 11& beyond. *2018-09-12, version 3.3.8* Don't buy any Mindsnack apps. The company sent letters out saying that after 6 years they are moving onto making brain games for Elevate. None of these apps will work on IOS 11 or beyond. It was an excellent set of language apps but all dead now. I plan to avoid Elevate. Who knows when they'll get bored and move on to something else and leave paying customers high and dry. ### 1/5 — Update please! *2018-02-06, version 3.3.8* I can’t use it anymore because it hasn’t been updated for newer iOS. ### 1/5 — Update to Current *2017-12-20, version 3.3.8* PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP TO WORK WOTH CURRENT IOS SOFTWARE. I haven’t been able to use my app 😂 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with IOS11 *2017-12-17, version 3.3.8* Awhile back I bought the full version hoping to improve my Portuguese, but now after paying I can’t even use the app! It won’t even open anymore! UPDATE THE APP PLEASE! ### 1/5 — No longer supported *2017-11-19, version 3.3.8* I paid for these and I can’t use them anymore because OS 11 isn’t supported. None of the apps will even open. ### 1/5 — DON’T PURCHASE🚫🚫🚫 *2017-10-24, version 3.3.8* This app doesn’t update, open, or work for IOS 11. ### 1/5 — Update for iOS 11!!! *2017-10-11, version 3.3.8* Highly disappointed that I paid for the full version of this app and now, out of nowhere, I can’t use it because it hasn’t been updated for iOS 11. >:( ### 1/5 — Numbers only - no words *2016-12-10, version 3.3.8* Save your money ### 3/5 — Excellent but still disappointed *2018-05-06, version 3.3.8* I upgraded to and iPhone 8 to be able to down load all my favorite apps. This particular one being one of them, but to my disappointment, the developer has not made it compatible with IOS 11 yet :(!! ### 3/5 — Great tool for learning, but not useful for people of Portuguese descent. *2016-09-07, version 3.3.8* Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Europe are not the same! While the vocabulary is similar and close, the pronunciation is different. The default should be European Portuguese or have an option for both, in my opinion. Sad, I wanted to use this to communicate with my Vavó. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I loved this way of learning!! *2020-11-28, version 3.3.8* I wish the developer would update this app! I loved refreshing my Portuguese with these games!! ### 5/5 — Easy & Fun *2020-03-01, version 3.3.8* I barely started using it, & already know how to count 1-20 in Portuguese. I'm currently learning the days of the week & colors. 50 lessons for $4.99 you'd be ignorant not to give it a try. I'm Highly satisfied & would highly recommend this app. Sadly they haven’t updated it, so it doesn’t work on my phone anymore. :’( ### 5/5 — Please update I miss it! *2020-02-15, version 3.3.8* Please update your app! I really enjoyed it and would gladly pay to get it back! ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! *2019-07-08, version 3.3.8* THIS GAME IS SO AMAZING!!!! (But it needs to be updated to be compatible with my phone😢😢😢😭😭😭) Please update this app I miss it so much! It thought me SOOOOOO MUCH about Portuguese and I still need to learn more😭😢😭 ### 5/5 — Needs an iOS 11 update *2018-06-24, version 3.3.8* Loved the app when I could use it years ago. Haven’t been able continue since there is no update for ios11. ### 5/5 — Update *2018-05-17, version 3.3.8* Please update this app so I can continue to learn on iOS 11! Love using it as a refresher tool!! ### 5/5 — I love this app! But... *2018-04-27, version 3.3.8* Probably one of the best purchases I have made but I can’t use it because it needs an update soo I’m waiting on that :/ ### 5/5 — So Helpful - Apple Stop Restricting a good thing! *2017-11-14, version 3.3.8* I started using this app a week ago and it has not only given me much vocabulary but also added much too! Because of the way it is designed this app is a really powerful and effective way to learn portuguese very quickly. Acquire and maintain language with this app. You'll enjoy learning! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2017-08-02, version 3.3.8* These apps are amazing! I have all of them and plan on buying the all language pass ### 5/5 — Great Application *2016-11-14, version 3.3.8* I love Mindsnacks! I use their Spanish app to keep up with my vocabulary; I'm now using it to learn Portuguese. I love the games and their different strengths. Swell - develops speed in recognition skills Belly - helps visualize new vocabulary Word Birds - reinforces spelling to help with language production My only request or suggestion would be to allow music from the native iOS Apple Music or a third party application to play in the background simultaneously. I would love to play some bossa nova quietly in the background while I play. It would add to the experience. 🇧🇷 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
