Very helpful
Use this app to learn French and English is my supporting language for learning it. Bilingual subtitle is very helpful for leaners to understand the language while watching a video. It also retains my interest in learning because it is not just inputting a lot of boring grammar rules. Their flash card feature also helps learners to record new vocabularies. Loop feature helps to memorize the pronunciation and learns can shadow. The Speak feature can instantly rate how learners’ pronunciation goes for one sentence and can allow learners to replay the recording. Sometimes it did not pick up the sounds perfectly and might be impossible to get the perfect comment of “you rocked it”

Still barely supported
Frequent errors where I just can't watch things for no reason, unfortunately. "Something went wrong!" and it works just fine on the website. Many features missing, including saving sentences which is a nice one, interface feels basic and clunky as well, it is useable though. But I feel for all the years Lingopie has been out, this kind of feels like an app that has only had a year's worth of work put into it. But at least there is a landscape mode now (which also took years to be implemented)!

Charged annual fee
It charged me an annual fee without my permission and now when I cancelled the subscription immediately it still wouldn’t give me a refund. This is a scam!

Keeps prompting me to give my credit card info even though the app was purchased through the app store.
Almost perfect; breaks every other update
This would be the absolute best app ever, especially for a hyperpolyglot studying “key”/“gateway” languages into most languages they could want to learn. Developers have a major, major issue of not troubleshooting their updates well enough and every other update deletes a course for a while (my hebrew course is currently gone), completely disables the play-speed options (sometimes entirely, usually when screen mirroring on TV), or breaks the app entirely and just gives an error screen for 2 days. I want to preach about how amazing this app is when it works, except thats pretty nullified when it doesnt even work. Constantly.

Not well designed
I downloaded this app while looking for Lirica which they apparently purchased and turned into Lingopie Music but I have yet to find any music or “music videos” as the description claims to have. You also have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the homepage to find audiobooks instead of it just having its own tab. Very clunky.

Great app works perfectly
I’ve been studying the language for over a decade and for the first time I find a way to enjoy media and also test my skills. Waiting for pinyin support but otherwise this app is great. If they could also color code characters for tones like PurpleCulture then I think m this is the best app out there. Actually developing Chinese TV show maybe one day it will appear on here

Horrible App - will charge you after “free trial”
Do NOT give your credit card information to this company. Even though they say you can try it for free, you can’t. They will take your credit card information and start charging you $41.37 every three months - even after you’ve told them you never signed up for their service. Disregard any favorable reviews on here. Their app sucks and they suck too.

please add this language
this is great app. one thing. PLEASE add CROATIAN as a language. please. there needs to be one balkan language and croatian series are great and i would seriously pay considerable money as not many resources have this language and this type of learning. please please please please add croatian.
It’s actually helping
I took Spanish I school and I learned numbers, some colors, and how to ask for the bathroom 😭. I’m now doing this so I can communicate for my trip to South America. I’ve pared it with watching some of my favorite kid movies in Spanish and yo…I’m actually RETAINING!! I have a learning disability so this is huge for me (ADHD).

It's a very nice app and I recommend it to whoever wants to learn a new language
Really like this app
So I recently downloaded lingopie with some reservations due to some poor reviews.
I’m going to try to be objective.
So I’m using the Apple app and I’m also using the TV based app available on Amazon fire. These two slightly different apps work together hand in glove. It’s possibly not a great idea to use just the phone app as you are dealing with video, subtitles, rewinding, looking up words and all that jazz. So if you don’t have Amazon fire/ Roku etc then your experience might be suboptimal.
Something else is that this isn’t really a ‘course’. What it is is a really terrific way to get contact with your target language as it is spoken more or less in real life.
Because of this I think that you need to be on about B1 or thereabouts to benefit properly.
All in all this app complements Duolingo ( other systems available !) as Duolingo does all the stuff that this app doesn’t and vice versa. But if you’re starting on a new language I would stick with Duolingo and add lingopie to your armoury sometime later. Most learners are only able to deal with live real life language after the basics are learned.
Anyway, I like the programmes I have seen so far. Generally lively/ funny or otherwise engaging. There’s a range of levels from beginner to advanced. And there’s a fairly cool system that records words that you look up which are then used to play flash card/ recall games.
All in all I’m pretty impressed. Never thought I could use Amazon fire stick to do anything but watch films etc.

Impossible to cancel subscription
Trying to cancel a subscription? Good luck. Every link to cancel just takes you around in circles. No support team available to help. They’ll keep charging you until you cancel your bank card.
Great way to learn
Interesting, fun and occasionally hilarious, it’s the language app I’ve been waiting for. No more boredom!
Não aceita o pagamento
Péssimo para fazer o pagamento pelo app. Odiei. Queria assinar, mas foi tanta burocracia desnecessária que preferi assinar outro serviço em outro app. Muito melhor
Response from developer
Obrigado por partilhar o seu feedback. Lamentamos que o processo de pagamento não tenha corrido tão bem como deveria. Gostaríamos muito de ter a oportunidade de analisar esta situação e ajudar a resolver o problema. Por favor, contacte support@lingopie.com, e a nossa equipa terá todo o prazer em ajudá-lo.
Deceptive practices.
Be aware that they promoted features that weren’t available. They also charged my account after cancellation, which magically never happened.
The best app ever!
A fabulous app for learning languages AND an awesome customer care culture!
Really great
Love how they have games, shows, and stories. Very helpful tools while remaining entertaining.
Multiple Options
I like the fact that in Spanish it labels the country of where the content is from its a very useful feature I just wished they added more from different countries (Chile, Bolivia) its just mainly Colombia, Argentina and Spain
Their customer support is incredible
I forgot to cancel my life time subscription after the 7 days free trail which costed me $250 CAD then I reached out their customer support immediately via email then they gave me options to fully refund, down grade to quarterly or yearly and then I choose quarterly for 50% discount and additionally they also gave me 1 months of free group lesson worth $80 which was really kind of them. Thank you so much for incredible customer support. Special thanks to Tatjana for making the process very easy and straightforward.
