I LOVE that there's no ads unless you want them, and that the language practice is made by real teachers instead of ai slop. But, i have a 57 day streak and I feel like I haven't learned anything? The format for practice is very easy to guess on. On the spelling ones, which should be the hardest, i can usually guess what the word is supposed to be based on the letters i have. It would be great to have more varied practice, like making us type the answer without getting the letters. Or for example instead of just "the keys are on the table" every time, maybe the keys are somewhere else and we have to fill in the blank. Talking to the villagers in your target language would be cool too, to have a back and forth. Idk ### 4/5 — Amazing app, premium is overpriced *2026-08-08, version 1.146.0* I will start by saying that a premium membership is not necessary to use the app. But without premium you have a limited amount that you can play each day. You have to watch ads to replenish the “energy” you have for language practice sessions in order to progress in the game, and there are a limited number of ads you can watch per day. When I first started playing, I would run out of all the day’s ads within two hours of playing. I decided to pay for the premium month-by-month for now, while the game is new and exciting and is grabbing my interest so much. I will say that the way the game practices language learning works AMAZINGLY for me. It really helps you practice every day without feeling like a chore. My main issue is that the premium is overpriced in my opinion. It’s either $10 a month, $60 for a year, or over $100 for a lifetime subscription. When I think of the fact that the average game on PC or console costs $20-60, I can’t justify paying such high prices for a yearly subscription or over $100 for lifetime use on a phone app. I understand that it’s a small team, but I think you’d get more people buying premium if it was cheaper. I would love to buy premium for my friends, but it’s outrageously expensive to even pay for my own premium, much less anyone else’s. I really wish the price was lower. If premium can’t be cheaper, then don’t limit the daily ads so much! ### 3/5 — Dyslexia challenge *2026-08-03, version 1.146.0* It would be so great if you could change the font. When you're spelling a phrase out lots of the letters look the same until you see them in a word and realise its not a "u" its an 'n' (upside down) or "p" looks like a 'q' (mirrored). Some fonts are more dyslexic friendly. Also there's an instruction that I can highlight a phase that I'm having difficulty with but I am not a gamer and the instruction didn't make sense to me. I couldn't figure it out. Over all I think there's too much assumed familiarity with game formats. I really like the language drills though, and that I can set the amount of repetition before leveling up. ### 3/5 — Nice Game *2026-07-31, version 1.146.0* The game started out great; cute animations, challenging tasks. Some buildings had to be added to the play grid, but they are only decoration. It was good enough for me to buy the game, which turned out my biggest mistake. Now I played through the game, and it feels “done”. Yes, I can still practice my language skills, but there are’ r enough levels to justify to buy it. ### 4/5 — Game is great in every way but one *2026-07-31, version 1.146.0* Please for the love of god change the character design. It’s really crippling, the pets are fine but the noseless poptropica design is just not it. Subjective obv, but I feel like the gear and characters are pretty generic or even bad while the rest of the game shines. If you could clean up the aesthetic this would be the best game on the market. ### 3/5 — I suggest adding a "none of the above" option. *2026-07-29, version 1.145.0* When I select English as the language I want to learn, I need to pick my native language. The only choices are French and Spanish, and I speak neither. I have to choose one of them to proceed. Alright, I’m just going to pick one randomly to proceed. Therefore, I suggest adding a "none of the above" option. ### 4/5 — Great bones with areas for improvement! *2026-07-29, version 1.143.0* I like the structure of the game so much that I’ve bought a membership! But some things I’ve noticed now that I’ve played a couple hours that could use improvement on. 1. Language units: I’m working on Chinese and I’m not sure if it’s just because Chinese is the less popular language to learn here but the greetings unit isn’t super comprehensive. It’s giving you phrases to memorize but doesn’t teach you the vocabulary for each word. Like good morning is zao shang hao, I know hao is good from a previous lesson but I don’t know what zao means or shang means. There’s also no way to know from the vocab cards either. They should implement different pre testing modes, like picking out the individual words to make up the phrase. 2. Vocab cards: I think there should a library that builds up the more words you learn. There’s a custom library thing but that just requires me to manually move over words. This kinda ties into the first point too because if you learn the individual vocabs first, you can also put them together into phrases and it’ll be easier to recall. These phrases can also be put in the library after you’ve learned them. 3. There should be an option to flag a word that you’ve learned but can’t recall on the spot. So you can go back to your library and flag the word to be put in the learning rotation for something. 4. There should also be a test part that tests you on the words more effectively than just giving you the choices or having you spell out the Ping yi. But maybe that’s a later unit and I’m just jumping the gun. 5. This is kinda a nit picky thing but I wish the decorations could be placed closer together. Like the maple tree has a big placement surface area and it’s annoying cuz i can’t place flower patches closer together to the tree and it looks a little sparse and unnatural. Overall the aesthetics of the town building could be more refined. Either way great experience so far and hope improvements happen frequently! ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2026-07-20, version 1.143.0* I love this game! If you’re think about learning a new language please get this there are various languages you can learn! If I had to choose between any other language app I would always choose lingolegend !1!1!1!1!1! ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2026-07-17, version 1.143.0* I have a Spanish brother in law and am learning it also as a hobby, but I would love to see other language options if you’re not already working on it!! Would love to learn Turkish to travel one day and because the grammer rules are so interesting and somewhat easy-ish to learn, but so far im satisfied with Spanish!👍 ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-07-14, version 1.143.0* I haven’t gotten very far, and i never write reviews, but this game is actually amazing. i don’t think i’ve gotten more than 5 ads and the content is miles better than duoling would recommend!! ### 2/5 — Watching ads doesn’t replenish stamina *2026-07-10, version 1.143.0* I like the premise and this app seems promising, but i don’t like how i tried to watch ads 3 times to replenish stamina and it didn’t work. I don’t mind watching ads to get stamina, but when it doesn’t work it limits how much you can do in this app. ### 5/5 — On thing *2026-07-07, version 1.143.0* I love the game but for some reason the guild I’m in it keeps like re showing what someone said last and for some reason it won’t let me talk in the guild it keeps glitching and the numbers keep popping up telling me someone said something new but it’s still the same thing if this could be fixed that would be great :) other than that 5/5 stars this is a must get app! Litterly not seen anything better( so happy I deleted Duolingo) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-04, version 1.143.0* I have been playing for hours without realising and have already learnt an tone of words 10/10 recommend ### 5/5 — Updated: Support Cares *2026-07-02, version 1.143.0* I had reached out to them to tell them that the space recognition only repeats the first few phrases and never seems to get beyond numbers. They recognized there was an issue with this and informed me of both how to navigate the issue for now and that they have plans to roll out an update that fixes this so you don’t have to fix it the long way. The characters are incredibly well written and endearing and the art style is really good. While some mechanics are a bit repetitive, that does make the game pretty easy to follow as you progress. There are different ways to approach the learning with “Adventure” and “Farm” so if you get bored of one you can change up the pace for either classic mobile farm game style or adventure that treats combat similar to hearthstone which I thought was neat. Update released and fixed the issue! ### 5/5 — LOVE Lingo Legend *2026-06-29, version 1.142.1* I discovered Lingo Legend when I was struggling to learn hiragana and katakana as a beginner Japanese student. The FUN repetition gameplay of the adventure card game really made learning much easier for me. Then they introduced the farm mode, and made learning twice as fun with game styles for everyone. ### 5/5 — So far, so good! *2026-06-27, version 1.142.1* New player here! I’ve been looking for an AI-free alternative to Duolingo, and I think I’ve found it! Their yearly subscription is much cheaper than theirs as well! Looking forward to making Lingo Legend a part of my daily routine! ### 5/5 — THE BEST language app *2026-06-20, version 1.142.1* It definitely won’t teach an entire language from scratch, completely on its own, but it’s my favorite vocab app I’ve ever used ### 5/5 — Vulcan and Klingon. *2026-06-20, version 1.142.1* This is a really good leading game, but it's missing two languages I love: Klingon and Vulcan. They're really fun languages from Star Trek and I might be enjoying this game even more. Even though my wants aren't fufilled (yet), five star game. Thank you for this amazing learning game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wrong Spanish *2026-08-18, version 1.146.0* This game literally gives you options for words that have multiple answers and penalizes you for it. Work on the language aspect before releasing it with the game. Wrong answers doesn’t help a single soul. ### 1/5 — Need more languages *2026-08-09, version 1.146.0* I downloaded this app because I saw a Tiktok about it and how amazing it is, but when I downloaded it there was no option for Arabic which is the language that I am trying to learn I feel it has so much potential but really does need more options for languages I only gave a 1 because I want the Lingo Legend team to see this review and please add some more languages!!🙏 ### 1/5 — Where’s my Norwegian *2026-06-13, version 1.141.0* Please please please add Norwegian I’ve been learning it and recently found you app and thought it was cool but you guys don’t have the language😭 I would really appreciate if you added that language and others to get a bigger audience as well. ### 1/5 — Recall is Lacking *2026-05-22, version 1.141.0* I’m getting words that I’ve mastered as “recall” words and there’s no way to mark them as mastered so I can get words I need to recall more. I get “comment ça va?” every day, but not directions or anything like that, even though I’ve completed that lesson, too. If you don’t use it, you lose it. I contacted support about it but they basically just told me to play with my settings and none of that helped. I paid for premium lifetime so I guess I’ll keep using it and hope they improve the recall, but my review will stay the same until it actually properly cycles through all recall cards without starting back at the basics I’ve already mastered. I would recommend waiting to pay for premium until you see how it works after 5 units. ### 1/5 — Sound *2026-04-24, version 1.135.1* There’s no sound? ### 1/5 — Child Exposed and Traumatized *2026-04-02, version 1.134.0* I’ve played this game for a while and thought that it would be a perfect game for my young nephew. It had bright colors, a cool farm simulator and adventure simulator mixed into one fun game. It’s a game that would be perfect for children! My nephew downloaded the app and I was there with him when we went through the tutorial, and soon we were having a lot of fun and ran out of the daily energy! The app allows up to 200 extra energy if you watch ads, so we clicked on the watch ad button. There were two ads. The first ad was totally fine, something that would be targeted towards kids. The second advertisement, however, morphed my kids face into terrified confusion and mine into astonished disgust. It was an inappropriate ad of women doing things I cannot say on this ad. My CHILD nephew was just exposed to an 18+ advertisement. Upon further research online, this was NOT the first occurrence of an 18+ ads coming from this app. My heart hurts for any other child who may have been exposed to things they should not have been. I know it may be hard with the cruel people who try to be clever with their ads to make it slip through, but please CRACK DOWN on these ads. This shouldn’t have to happen. I don’t think I can stomach having this app anymore. ### 1/5 — Exclusive *2026-02-01, version 1.125.1* There’s only a limited selection of languages I was looking forward to see if they had Irish only to see they had like seven languages they need an update ### 1/5 — Ey *2025-07-28* mach polnisch rein lo **Developer response:** Thank you for the suggestion. We’re continually expanding into new languages and would love to do them all eventually, but please understand as a small indie company, it won’t always be in the order or at a pace that pleases everybody. If you would like, you can vote for a language to be added next on our website: https://www.lingolegend.com/vote-for-a-language. We like to include our community feedback in the decision-making process in choosing what language to add next. ### 1/5 — Server issues, can’t get in *2025-07-19, version 1.99.3* I’ve tried on and off to play this game, but every time I open the app, I get a “No Internet Connection” error. Not sure why this app is being advertised if it’s literally unplayable. ### 1/5 — Full of errors - Do NOT get this app *2025-06-19, version 1.96.14* I’ve been learning French for a couple years now, and wanted to try out some new apps (particularly ones without AI ever since Duolingo’s “AI first” nonsense). So I got this app only to discover countless errors riddled into almost each question. From misspellings such as “nouse,” to other mistakes like the sentence “comment vous appelez vous t’appelle.” Do not get this app if you want to learn French. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — :)5 *2026-08-23, version 1.146.0* This language-learning game is very fun and makes remembering phrases very easily, it feels fun to actually progress instead of stressful. ### 5/5 — Wish theyd add more languages !! *2026-08-21, version 1.146.0* Great app for learning !! I find it fun and engaging but wish theyd add more languages commonly used but not as popular, my partner speaks tagalog and ive noticed it actually very common to hear people speaking it anywhere so ive always wanted to learn it but alike lingo most apps dont include it :( ### 5/5 — Adorable game *2026-08-12, version 1.146.0* I really like how simple this game is, and it has a good system for teaching Japanese! it’s super fun to play, and reminds me of being a kid again and playing prodigy math. I can tell they put so much work and care into this, and there’s not a speck of AI in any of the artwork which is amazing to say the least. Thanks for the team behind Lingo Legend for making this awesome game! I love it ### 5/5 — Thank you developers *2026-08-05, version 1.146.0* My Spanish exponentially grew in less than two weeks compared to when I did a 100 days streak on the owl app. Seriously and genuinely thank you. I hope this app grows more popular. ### 5/5 — Learning for All Ages! *2026-08-02, version 1.146.0* This app gives learning a new language adventure! My household has been using it for about a month now and we can have simple conversations in Spanish! Very kid friendly and great for those that struggle with learning a new language! ### 5/5 — So fun and addicting *2026-07-29, version 1.143.0* Such a fun way to learn, addicting and its not money hungry like many other language learning apps, thats what i really appreciate. i can do a fair amount of learning and if i want to continue once ive run out of energy all i have to do is watch a short ad otherwise it just resets at midnight. my favourite way to learn from now on ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-07-28, version 1.143.0* No notes ### 5/5 — Engaging way to learn! *2026-07-26, version 1.143.0* I’ve tried just about every language learning app out there, and this one surprised me. Lingo Legends somehow makes studying feel like playing a game instead of grinding through flashcards. It keeps me coming back, which is half the battle with language learning. I’m studying Mandarin, and I’ve noticed I’m recognizing and remembering Chinese characters much faster than I was with more traditional apps. The combination of gameplay, repetition, and progression just clicks with the way I learn. No app is going to magically make you fluent, but if an app can keep you engaged long enough to build a daily habit, that’s a huge win. Lingo Legends does exactly that. It’s earned a permanent spot in my language learning routine. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2026-07-23, version 1.143.0* I rarely leave ratings, but, this app truly deserves one. As an avid language learner and Duolingo user, I can say that this app is super effective for language retention. I love how gamified it is; you can truly see all the soul and work the creators put into it. I have only used it for 2 days SO FAR, but it’s truly great. I would recommend it to anyone learning a new language! ### 5/5 — Effective *2026-07-21, version 1.143.0* I find the fighting mechanics to be both entertaining and effective for memorizing Japanese. The farm sim section is fine but just not my cup of tea. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
