When offering tips and tricks regarding pronunciation the automated voice skips half the sounds. For example: say "rei" as "rye"; you only hear the words say and as. Nothing else. When ending a lesson and continuing to the next one, you are automatically at the end of the next lesson so you have to go to the main menu and start again where you actually intended. Needs more work **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the detailed feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustrating experience. The issues you mentioned with slow responses, pronunciation audio skipping parts of the explanation, and incorrect lesson progression were caused by bugs in the app. These issues have now been fixed. Please update to the latest version and give it another try. We really appreciate you taking the time to report these problems. ### 2/5 — Ausbaufähig *2026-07-04* Ich habe Arabisch ausprobiert. Die Aussprache der KI ist manchmal recht seltsam, sie klingt zudem sehr mechanisch. Viele Wörter werden als richtig erkannt, die wortwörtlich ausgesprochen werden, und nicht, wie es linguistisch korrekt ist oder von der KI ausgesprochen wird. Die Stimme, die die Sätze und Wörter vorspricht ist auch manchmal zu schnell. Es wird nicht zwischen männlicher und weiblicher Ansprache unterschieden, daher bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob man sich z.B. als Frau dadurch eine falsche Aussprache angewöhnt. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches Feedback, und entschuldigen Sie bitte die Probleme beim Arabischlernen. Wir haben die Aussprache, Spracherkennung und Sprachqualität inzwischen deutlich verbessert und mehrere Fehler behoben. Auch Themen wie Sprechgeschwindigkeit sowie die Unterscheidung zwischen männlichen und weiblichen Sprachformen werden von uns weiter optimiert. Bitte aktualisieren Sie die App auf die neueste Version. Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns mit Ihrem Feedback helfen, die App zu verbessern. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Complete Scam – Level Selection Is Completely Useless! *2026-08-08* Total scam! No matter what proficiency level you select, it always starts from the absolute basics. The level selection is completely useless—even if you choose "Fluent," it still starts by teaching you "Hello." Don't waste your time. **Developer response:** Hi N. Wallace, we’re sorry for the frustration. There was a bug that caused the selected proficiency level to be ignored, which is why lessons could start from the basics regardless of your choice. This issue has now been fixed. Please update the app to the latest version and try selecting your level again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience. ### 1/5 — 界面一直显示thinking *2026-08-05* 如题 **Developer response:** 您好，非常抱歉给您带来不便。由于中国大陆地区的网络访问限制，部分用户可能会遇到界面一直显示“Thinking”、无法进入课程或对话的问题。 目前通常需要通过 VPN 才能正常使用相关功能（请遵守当地法律法规）。对于此次体验问题，我们深表歉意，也感谢您的理解与支持。 ### 1/5 — Not effective *2026-08-04* It just wasn’t affective. It teaches specific things that it wants to teach you in a specific order that it already has programmed. I was studying Italian for personal reasons and told it that I already had a basic foundation in greetings and introducing myself. It still started with teaching me some basic greetings, and then immediately moved into getting around the airport. I tried several times to freestyle talk and I put in the topic and then it would just take me back to teaching me how to say hello. I would not recommend this app. **Developer response:** Hi, we’re very sorry about your experience. Unfortunately, there were some bugs affecting level selection, personalized learning paths, and freestyle conversations, which could cause the app to repeatedly return to basic lessons. These issues have now been fixed. Please update the app to the latest version and give it another try. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and appreciate your feedback. ### 1/5 — Ausprobiert und gelöscht *2026-07-05* Daten senden an Google, Aussprache jenseits jeder vernünftigen Muttersprachlichkeit. Eine nur peinliche App. Gebt euer Geld für die Profis aus, nicht für solche albernen Amateur-Apps **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, dass Sie so eine schlechte Erfahrung mit der App gemacht haben. Die von Ihnen angesprochenen Probleme bei der Aussprache wurden inzwischen überarbeitet und verbessert. Auch Datenschutz nehmen wir sehr ernst. Alle Informationen zur Datenverarbeitung finden Sie transparent in unserer Datenschutzerklärung. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit für dieses Feedback genommen haben. ### 1/5 — Very bad. *2026-07-04* The Ai doesn’t know how to speak the learned language. You say it right and the ai wants you to pronounce different (wrong). I just tried it with Italian. **Developer response:** Hi, we’re sorry about the pronunciation issues you experienced with Italian. There was a bug affecting pronunciation evaluation, which could incorrectly mark correct answers as wrong. This issue has now been fixed. Please update the app to the latest version and try again. Thank you for reporting it. ### 1/5 — Good but… *2026-07-04* The app itself is good, but why isn't it possible to use a different AI model instead of Gemini—such as ChatGPT, which you could connect using your own API key, or Apple's own AI model? Thats why I haven’t used it yet, privacy is important. After testing it, I found out that the app doesn't work properly. As a native Turkish speaker, I gave it a try. Correct pronunciation was marked as incorrect, and when I spoke briefly afterward without saying anything, it was recognized as correct. I continued testing it by just clicking the microphone button and saying nothing, and it continued to show the correct result. That's why I've now deleted the app. My Idea: Instead of using Gemini as an aid, one could work with Apple's speech recognition. After all, it's a good idea for an app in and of itself. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the detailed feedback and for taking the time to test the app so thoroughly. We completely understand your concerns around privacy and AI model choice, and we appreciate your suggestion about supporting alternatives such as Apple’s speech recognition or other AI providers. The pronunciation recognition issue you described—where correct speech could be marked wrong, or silence could sometimes be accepted—was caused by a bug and has now been fixed. Please update to the latest version if you decide to give the app another try. Thank you again for the thoughtful feedback. ### 1/5 — Zweite Lektion und schon kommt die ki nicht klar *2026-07-04* Habe mal japanisch versucht, nach der ersten Lektion hat er den deutschen Satz „Du hast dir heute viel Mühe gegen…“ als Japanisch erkannt, und möchte von mir das ich den deutschen Satz „japanisch“ ausspreche. War bisschen witzig aber zeigt das die App aktuell nicht wert ist nur einen Cent auszugeben. Deswegen erstmal nur 1 Stern **Developer response:** Hallo, es tut uns leid, dass Sie bereits in der zweiten Lektion auf so einen Fehler gestoßen sind. Es gab tatsächlich einen Bug bei der Spracherkennung und Sprachzuordnung, wodurch deutsche Sätze teilweise fälschlicherweise als Japanisch erkannt wurden. Dieser Fehler wurde inzwischen behoben. Bitte aktualisieren Sie die App auf die neueste Version und probieren Sie es noch einmal. Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns auf das Problem aufmerksam gemacht haben. ### 1/5 — Error *2026-07-03* I get the The operation couldn't be completed. (FirebaseAlLogic.GenerateContentError error O.) **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the confusion. The fix for this issue is already in progress and will be included in the next update. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. ### 1/5 — Didn’t speak the Spanish phrases *2026-07-03* As title, the app doesn’t speak the Spanish phrases so as a beginner you’re left guessing how to say the phrase. Needs work. The voices are very robotic, even when coding different voices they are not natural sounding, which I suppose is partially down to the phone. But took the free lifetime offered and will keep checking for updates. For now uninstalled. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. We’re aware of the issue with Spanish phrase audio and voice quality, and the fix is already in progress. It will be included in the next update. We appreciate you giving the app a try and hope you’ll check back after the update. ### 2/5 — Confusing *2026-07-07* It made me cry from stupidity **Developer response:** We’re really sorry the experience was that frustrating. That’s definitely not how we want the app to feel. We’re continuing to improve the lesson flow and overall usability to make learning clearer and less confusing. Thank you for your feedback. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-22* Highly recommend **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support and recommendation!

We’re really happy to hear the app has been helpful for you. Your support means a lot to us! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great app! Great developer! *2026-07-07* This is such a good app for learning basic language skills in a variety of languages. It tracks progress, builds on previous teaching, and gives helpful encouragement and tips. It listens effectively and helps you correct your pronunciation in a manner that I find very useful. Just make sure you follow the instructions in the app to get the free high quality voices on your iPhone or iPad - the app shows you how to do it, and recognizes when it’s done. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying the learning experience. It’s great to know the in-app instructions were helpful. Thanks for learning with us and for your support! 😊 ### 5/5 — Bom *2026-07-04* Gostei da forma como o app me ajuda a aprender **Developer response:** Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback! Ficamos muito felizes em saber que o app está ajudando você a aprender. 😊 ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2026-07-03* I must say this is a treasure trove for those who want to learn a language. Well done to the developers. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear that you find the app helpful for language learning. Your support means a lot to us, and we’ll keep working to make it even better. ### 4/5 — Early impressions *2026-09-16* I like it, let’s me practice my pronunciations by telling me things to say. Thing is half the time, I’m not fully sure what it’s asking me to say, but I’m just copying it. Some kind of written translation of what we’re saying showing on all things we pronounce as well as the in the native would defo be a good addition ### 4/5 — App is good so-Far *2026-07-05* The app works and does what it says. I am actually learning Spanish, Yay me😁 **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We’re really happy to hear you’re enjoying the app and making progress with Spanish. Keep it up—you’ve got this! 😄 ### 3/5 — 对话与课程一直显示think中 进入不了 *2026-08-05* 请解决 **Developer response:** 您好，非常抱歉给您带来不便。目前由于中国大陆地区的网络访问限制，部分对话和课程功能可能会一直停留在“Think”状态，无法正常进入。 目前这种情况下，通常需要通过 VPN 才能恢复正常访问（请确保符合当地法律法规）。对于给您造成的困扰，我们深表歉意，也感谢您的理解与耐心。 ### 3/5 — Dúvida *2026-08-05* Tenho a opção de aprender do português para outro idioma? Sendo português a língua original **Developer response:** Olá, Lucas! Sim, é possível. Você pode definir o português como idioma de origem e escolher o idioma que deseja aprender nas configurações do aplicativo. ### 3/5 — The problem *2026-07-10* I have choose learn English->Explore my own->Teacher mode->How do you say:Food & Drinks->The AI tell me to say water, it is no problem; Then it ask me to say bread, it say me it is not correct, should be say water and I found the display character is still water. I say water again, passed, and then it ask me say bread again, it still display water and said I said bread is not correct, still in the loop of the word water infinity….I think is this AI app play joke on me although the price is not high. **Developer response:** Hi, we’re very sorry about this experience. The issue you described is related to our flexible learning modes, and we’re currently redesigning these modes from scratch to make them much more reliable and consistent. We apologize for the frustrating loop you encountered. Please keep an eye out for our next update, which will include major improvements to this experience.
