### 1/5 — Buggy, doesn’t honor refund policy

*2026-01-05*

LingoBus forces purchasing minimum 500 USD of classes up front and has not honored their policy of refunding unused classes, even after functionality in their app has been consistently broken for my child for months, after multiple back and forth emails with support.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2023-07-23*

Don’t download

### 5/5 — Nice

*2021-09-01*

It’s a nice app.👍👍

### 3/5 — Teachers (I mean changing to teachers you like)

*2020-10-05*

You can’t find the correct teacher like you can only change the time not the teacher.

### 2/5 — Good app for studying

*2020-09-11*

I used this app for my iPad and it says that classes I have booked and not done are done. I have used it for studying and it works well for that so if your going to take your class don’t use this app

### 1/5 — Error message keeps popping up

*2020-03-22*

Error loading message pops up all the time. The classroom tab does not show up. Unusable

### 5/5 — Great but all the updates get annoying

*2020-03-04*

It’s great and all but maybe keep the updates low and but basically the three you make into one? Ok thanks

-Weird person 😂

### 4/5 — Not the best app on App Store, but the best in its category

*2020-01-11*

We have been doing Chinese lessons on Lingobus for a year now. Still a good number of bugs in the study materials, but I do see significant improvement over the year.

### 3/5 — Pretty good app

*2019-05-04*

It’s a good app I just don’t like how you have to pay for some things

### 5/5 — Please update

*2018-07-14*

I really love lingobus and it is great for learning chinese. I have a suggestion for an update and I think this would be really fun and educational. Please make it so there is a place where every time you complete an assessment there is a game you can play that helps review things you did in those lessons.
