Not animated enough. Please respond!! Wait I just went on it and it lets you do nationalities but then you have to pay. That’s not what it says in the adds so I’m really disappointed. I thought it was better than Duolingo but now i think it’s the same. I am NOT gonna pay for another one. ### 3/5 — Average *2026-08-11, version 3.1.15* I finish one lesson know I have to do the 2ed one but it keeps saying try for free try for 127 $ like what I’m trying to learn a new language and you keep saying do this and that ### 4/5 — Wish it didn’t force u to pay to understand your mistakes instead make a ad *2026-08-10, version 3.1.15* I rather watch a add to continue than pay cause I do wanna learn but I don’t have money nor does my family usually have spare money to spend on here, it is really fun to learn my sister suggested it! ### 3/5 — Ok *2026-08-06, version 3.1.15* It’s ok not me I wish it had a stronger foundation and would tell you if you sed it correctly but over all it’s pretty good. ### 2/5 — Ugly *2026-08-05* Bad UI👎🏻 ### 4/5 — Pretty good but… *2026-08-04, version 3.1.15* Really easy to learn on but the ai “what you got wrong” takes too long to load 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀😘🥰 ### 2/5 — Predatory subscription practices *2026-08-04, version 3.1.15* The app is decently laid out and I enjoyed using it, the biggest perk was that you can download lessons so they were useful while I was on deployment. However, when it comes to cancelling your subscription there is no cancel option in the entire app. You have to contact them directly which I think is incredibly predatory due to deleting your account does NOT stop the renewal process, despite the lack of stop renewal option in the app. They claim subscription renewal is not under the refund policy. Just unprofessional business practice in my opinion. ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-02, version 3.1.15* Love it It also has grammer unlike Duolingo ### 5/5 — Improved with some of the recent changes *2026-08-01, version 3.1.15* It's gotten a bit better recently ### 5/5 — Nice app wish it could go farther in Spanish. *2026-07-30, version 3.1.15* I love the app but I can’t really get that far in Spanish. It only goes to A2. So that sucks. It actually like 2-4 stars. I just did 5 stars so it will show up. So yeah. And in other languages you can get that far. So yeah. ### 5/5 — GET THIS APP!!!! *2026-07-29, version 3.1.15* Better than Duolingo. Just better. I know a few katakana and a few hiragana let’s see how well we do when we practice! さよならアメリカ！ ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-28, version 3.1.15* This app is one of the best language apps I ever used ### 5/5 — PEAK *2026-07-28, version 3.1.15* This app is genuinely perfect out of any of the other apps , ### 5/5 — Love it! 👍 *2026-07-28, version 3.1.14* I switched to LingoDeer from Duolingo. I think the learning strategies are much better. ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-07-28, version 3.1.14* App này dùng oke nha ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-05, version 3.1.15* This app makes you pay up then immediately throws you into the worst UX for a Learning app you could possibly dream up. No clear instructions , exercises are just cards that pop up with no context or implication on what you're even being asked, if anything. I have no clue which item to click on first, what the "lessons" are trying to teach or how I am even supposed to interact with them. Absolutely wild design choices throughout. ### 1/5 — No family plan *2026-08-04, version 3.1.15* Sorry but this is a hard stop for me ### 1/5 — :( you have to pay *2026-08-03, version 3.1.15* I like this app but you have to pay after one lesson :( honestly seems like a paying scam. Not everyone has money. It’s ridiculous :( like it’s not fair, they need to change it. I would give it a zero rating if I could ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-02, version 3.1.15* You get to actually play or learn on it for a little bit but then for the second lesson even you have to get the premium no choice very upsetting ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-07-30, version 3.1.15* You can only do a few lessons for free before being trapped behind a paywall. Not worth downloading unless you’re willing to pay. ### 1/5 — Good at first, then sucks. *2026-07-13, version 3.1.14* So you basically get 4 mini lessons where they teach you greetings, and then you gotta pay for anything beyond that. You literally can’t do anything beyond that point unless you pay. It’s a paywall scam if you couldn’t tell, so unless you are willing to pay I would suggest you look at other apps. Have a good day/night! ### 1/5 — Don’t use it *2026-07-11, version 3.1.14* All they want you to do is use premium, if you’re not willing to pay their expensive fees then do not buy this app, it’s useless without the premium! ### 1/5 — Very bad *2026-07-09, version 3.1.14* This app is a paywall trap. It claims to be a great tool for learning hard languages, but it blocks you almost immediately. You only get about 3 free lessons before they demand that you pay for a premium subscription. Don't waste your time downloading it unless you are ready to open your wallet right away ### 1/5 — No *2026-07-06, version 3.1.14* It keeps annoying me with subscriptions and no I am not going to pay 15$ for this and sometimes you don’t even learn the language. ### 1/5 — Want to Love It *2026-07-05, version 3.1.14* I really do love this language app, it’s formatted well and easy to understand. But having a pay wall immediately after the first lesson is ridiculous and an immediate 1 star for me. Can’t even go on with ads or anything, have to pay $15 monthly or over $100 just to use app more than 5 minutes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Free version is very limited *2026-08-19, version 3.1.16* In the free version, you cannot move past nationalities or the alphabet without paying for premium ($22 AUD per month), so this app limits the Japanese you can learn greatly. I’m sure it’s the exact same for other languages as well. Highly disappointing. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-14, version 3.1.15* I used to do Duolingo but I’ve swapped to this app and I’ll never regret it. I’ve done my first lesson and i already know Japan, America , hello, and goodbye . I really recommend it. ### 5/5 — Best language learning app I used *2026-08-13, version 3.1.15* I prefer this one over all the other language learning apps ### 5/5 — Yippe *2026-08-12, version 3.1.15* This is awesome I need to recommend this to my friend ### 5/5 — Pretty good but I think but under enthusiastic *2026-08-11, version 3.1.15* It’s good and helps me learn but it’s not enthusiastic like Duolingo is. Not animated enough. Please respond!! ### 5/5 — This is great! But… *2026-08-10, version 3.1.15* I love this app, I am learning German!But sometimes they push you very far and just put you up there, and sometime it can be hard. ### 5/5 — Better the duolingo *2026-08-09, version 3.1.15* This app is 100x better then duolingo. It teaches me actual learning ### 5/5 — PERFEITO. *2026-08-08* app super completo, não te obriga a assinar o plano pra fazer as lições, direto com iniciantes e explica muito bem, melhor opção pra aprender. ### 5/5 — I like this app but.. *2026-08-05, version 3.1.15* I like this app and it’s amazing but I’m not sure if the Spanish course(the non-European Spanish course) is accurate, because when I asked a Spanish friend of mine “which one is the correct one” because as a Hispanic woman myself I know many things, but what the app displayed didn’t seem correct and my friend said none of the answers were correct, so I would check the accuracy of the courses, cause now I’m worried some of the other courses could be inaccurate, but I love how detailed and extensive the explaining is and how your app makes conjugation, and explaining grammar way more clear than other apps. ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2026-08-03, version 3.1.15* Reviewing after the newest update: things got even better, with an AI explaining what mistakes and wrong answers while also referring your current lessons. I’ve been learning Japanese for years NOTHING comes anywhere near as detailed (without being overwhelming or clunky) as Lingo deer is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Instead of memorizing set phrases, you’re taught how to construct full sentences. I like the tips page that gives you a summary of what you really need to know in order to form a sentence. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
