It is inflexible with word order when there are different possibilities. There are no commons idioms used by real speakers. The electronic voice is much the same tone which sounds dated and unnatural. Also audio doesn’t work (type what you hear questions). Overall, not value for money. ### 4/5 — ヘブライ語 *2023-12-23* 作文や穴埋め問題の選択肢のワードが重なっていて上にある別のを指で外しながら下の正解を選ばないけない事が良くあります。他に4つの言語をやっていますがこんな事はありません。改善して下さい。 ### 4/5 — Démarre trop tôt *2023-12-10* Pour un faux débutant, c’est un peu lassant de redémarrer par bonjour au revoir, Maisla petite conversation c’est très sympa, c’est très agréable de pouvoir rejouer les phrases, rapidement ou lentement. Et l’encouragement à l’assiduité c’est bien aussi.. gratifiant ^^ ### 4/5 — Les sujets grammaticaux visés par les leçons *2023-10-25* J’aimerais juste un indicatif sur le thème abordé eg cases verbes etc pour pourvoir approfondir merci ### 4/5 — Besser als erwartet *2023-04-28* Ich als deutsche will russchisch lernen und diese app ist wirklich gut bereitet nach dem ersten üben konnte ich schon Sätze Empfehle ich aufjedenfall weiter! ### 5/5 — Love this highly recommended *2023-01-16, version 7.1.13* The best way to learn German is right here in this app and it’s great and fun ### 5/5 — Аналу *2023-01-10* Очень круто ### 5/5 — Empfehlenswert *2023-01-04* Man lernt schnell ### 4/5 — . *2022-11-24* Die app ist Ansicht ganz gut aber finde es nicht so gut das manche Lektionen geld kosten ### 5/5 — Спосибо Очин хорашо *2022-03-01, version 7.1.13* Спосибо Очин хорашо ### 5/5 — Taking my time *2022-01-28, version 7.1.13* I don’t have to much time, and having this in my phone makes easier for me to practice any time! ### 5/5 — おもしろい *2022-01-27* 気軽に多言語学習。発音が何度も聞けてよい。 ### 5/5 — 注册不了 *2021-12-17* 为什么注册总显示有问题等会去试试 ### 4/5 — AMAZING BUT!!!! *2021-12-04, version 7.1.13* I LOVE this app but one thing maybe can it not be a perineum like keep the price the same but not a perineum because that’s where all the HELPFUL things are. Amazing app helped me learn FRENCH!!!! Yes not just Russian multipurpose languages other then Russian but please please please change the perineum to a one time payment PLEEEAAASE ### 5/5 — Удивительно, я хочу это проверить *2021-11-30, version 7.1.13* может мне это понравится ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2021-11-27, version 7.1.13* I’m Russian (grew up in the U.S.). This has REALLY helped me reconnect with my Russian / Mongolian roots. Super easy & effective. Really helps me memorize & expand my vocabulary. 😊 ### 4/5 — Great app *2021-11-14, version 7.1.13* I love this learning app it’s fun and effective and if your not able to get premium it’s not like you’re only getting to do like 2 things and that’s it an overall great app definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Хорошо *2021-10-31* Очень хорошо ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 誤用や文法の間違いが多くある *2026-07-10* 自動翻訳を使っているのかわからないが、文法的な間違いやそもそも単語の訳が間違っていることが多々ある。どこでも説明されていないのに単語の意味が変わることもよくあり、正確性にかける ### 1/5 — Chatbot funktioniert nicht *2021-11-20* Dafür dass mich das 10€ im Monat kostet funktioniert einiges noch nicht. Zb kann ich bei chatbot kein Audio aufnehmen. Habe alle Einstellungen untersucht, das liegt an der App. Außerdem wird bei chatbot fast immer die Eingabe gelöscht wenn ich auf senden drücken will weil das x zu nah dran ist. Lustigerweise funktioniert auch die Feedback Funktion innerhalb der App nicht… Generell ist lernen schwer wenn alle Wörter random sind. Ich verstehe nicht, warum alle sprach-Lernprogramme so sinnlos aufgebaut sind. Das menschliche Gehirn lernt über Verknüpfungen. Alle Farben gleichzeitig zu lernen wäre sinnvoll. Die Wörter rot, Knopf, Architekur, springen und Staubsauger in einer Lektion zu verknüpfen ist einfach nur Schwachsinn (wenn sich die Wörter in der Sprache nicht ähneln). Wahrscheinlich geht es bei diesen Apps nur darum Länder Geld zu verdienen und nicht um den Spracherfolg. Aber gefühlt entwickelt sich Mondly s da etwas weiter in letzter Zeit. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback here. I'm sorry to hear about this issue.

Pouvez-vous m’expliquer... **Developer response:** Greetings from Mondly! We'd like to help you with this issue. Please email us at ios@mondly.com. Looking forward to hearing from you, Ioana, Customer Care ### 1/5 — Cannot unsubscribe ... *2020-02-18, version 7.1.13* Too expensive for a game, and I cannot unsubscribe. Wayne ### 1/5 — Pas de synchronisation *2019-12-25* J’utilise tantôt un iPad tantôt un iPhone pour l’appli Mondly. Il n’y a pas de synchronisation des progrès entre ces deux appareils. Dommage. Sinon le niveau le plus élevé proposé et qualifié de « avancé » est bien trop basique et n’apporte pas les subtilités de construction grammaticale ou de langage attendues. Au level 15 de l’anglais, il nous est proposé d’apprendre à dire « bonjour, merci.. ». Appli bien chère pour le niveau proposé. **Developer response:** Greetings from Mondly! Thank you for the feedback. Our content is structured on 3 difficulty levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced - each correlated with specific tasks. If you encounter any other issues, please let us know at ios@mondly.com and we'll help right away. Looking forward to hearing from you, Ioana, Customer Care ### 1/5 — 超级不好👎 *2019-01-22* 莫名其妙的自动扣费，连个消息通知都没有，超级无语。课程设置的不好，非常不实用！不建议购买 ### 1/5 — Almost useless without paying *2018-08-12, version 6.9.19* Don’t be fooled by the free download. Although they offer “free daily lessons”, everything good you have to pay for. I felt mislead after I downloaded this app. I no longer trust this developer and probably will never download anything from them again ### 1/5 — Started out great... Now so many bugs it’s unusable. *2018-03-22, version 6.2* I found this app after trying many different language programs. It was outstanding. The daily lessons, AI / conversation engine concept, etc. Signed up for the monthly service and things started falling apart. Rather than the conversation AI I had in the first lessons - it’s just a recording of myself on both ends of a conversation without feedback... Not sure what value that’s supposed to provide. Then the lessons / new vocabulary audio started to fade. Some has audio, some doesn’t. Well... most doesn’t. Very difficult to translate a sentence when all you’re hearing is silence. Of all the language instruction tools I’ve tried, I really think this has the most promise. Including the $400 I dropped on the Rosetta Stone subscription... this could be much, much better. A combination of forced daily lessons with short, manageable, sessions - and the conversation AI (I want to practice on a computer - a tutor or “native speaker” for conversation is too much when I’m still trying to learn the absolute basics of a language). BUT, and this is a huge but, it’s unusable in its current state. Hoping to see this updated, and may try again in the future. Cool app, but it has a ways to go before it’s ready for release (i.e. I’m willing to pay anything for it). Also - for the developer. The subscription options are incredibly confusing. Whats with the 8 different packages? Either simplify the pricing / package structure or provide more information on what “subscription” I’m actually paying for. The same price for three different package options without explanation? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super!! *2026-07-11, version 7.1.13* I have tried several popular, well-known language methods, but this app not only teaches practical material, it does so using varied techniques in an enjoyable way that makes you want to keep returning to do more. ### 5/5 — Good application *2025-11-12* Useful application for Russian learners ### 5/5 — perfeito!! *2025-07-11* um ótimo aplicativo, ensina muito bem e é ótimo pra quem tem problema pra memorizar as palavras!! ### 5/5 — Super zum nebenbei Lernen *2024-03-06* Jeden Tag ein bisschen lernen fällt nicht schwer und hält dich fit. Für eine Sprache, die man schon in der Schule mal hatte fast zu leicht. Alle anderen Sprachen fallen da schon schwerer. ### 5/5 — Da *2023-10-30* Atlichna ### 5/5 — Mondly *2023-09-15, version 7.1.13* It is a very efficient app and helpful, I wish they would lower the monthly price and have more phrases and word look up dictionary definitions type sections to refer to and Aramaic as well as other dialects of languages from countries spoken, I like this app., but feel it should be lower in price monthly or for promotion offers. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-06-21, version 7.1.13* Best app ever ### 5/5 — Gute Funktionen! *2023-06-04* Hatte schon mehrere Lern-Apps für Sprachen und diese hier bietet wirklich einige sehr gute und effektive Methoden. Die Aussprache der Wörter und der Schnecken-Modus (langsame Aussprache) sind auch sehr gut. ### 5/5 — Quite good! *2023-05-17, version 7.1.13* Even the free portion is very good with its pace. ### 5/5 — Sehr gut! *2023-02-03* sehr gute App! Toll aufgebaut! Von sehen, hören, schreiben und sprechen alles dabei! Vokabeln werden in weiterführenden Lektionen wiederholt und man kann sich selbst nicht „veräppeln“ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
