As opções de velocidade do áudio ficaram limitadas, antes o usuário conseguia escolher a velocidade 0.9x, agora só temos a opção de velocidade 0.75x, que é muito lenta. Sumiu a opção de velocidade 0.9x. Você conseguem nos fornecer essa opção novamente, por favor? É o aplicativo nem sempre consegue identificar quais dos artigos já foram lidos, ocorrem alguns erros nesse sentido. ### 4/5 — Great way to learn *2026-06-29, version 3.7.3* Reading along is an effective way to learn for me. I love that I can change the reading speed and tap each word to get the definition. Being able to translate entire sentences at a time is also awesome! I have renewed my interest in the app and can go through all the appropriate levels. I wish there was a vocabulary review process that helps one with difficult words and phrases. This app hits a niche area but you need other apps for rote grammar drills. ### 4/5 — Falta o português *2026-06-17* Quando vamos para as questões, precisamos responder as perguntas em inglês. Anunciado em italiano (idioma escolhido) e respostas em inglês (não solicitado). Acaba dificultando pois temos que pensar em italiano e traduzir para o inglês pra responder. Poderia ter as respostas em português também, mesmo sendo o de Portugal já ajuda. ### 2/5 — It would be good but… *2026-05-20, version 3.6.5* This would be a good app, but unfortunately there are so many bug bugs. When you press the button to hear the words it does not align with a sentence that you want to hear. Instead, it jumps three paragraphs down. This is really annoying as you are not able to follow along with the story properly using the listen feature. It would be a great app and it would be worth the money if it was functioning well without issues. However, it is not worth the price with the issues that it has. ### 2/5 — Too Expensive *2026-05-18, version 3.6.5* Nice idea, with far too few languages at a very inflated price. ### 4/5 — Saving stories *2026-05-08, version 3.6.5* Please make it so we are able to save stories that we’d particularly like to review again and again. ### 4/5 — Helpful and educational *2026-05-05, version 3.6.5* This is a fun and educational way to improve one’s French. You can read and listen and request translation of words you do not recognise. There are some occasional typos. I am not sure how much content is available. ### 4/5 — Great Reading/Audio Comprehension *2026-04-10, version 3.6.4* Really nice way to practice reading and listening comprehension, and you can also save vocab. The stories are cute and interesting , often filled with informative material. Good free version. Paid gives you access to customizing your vocabulary/questions more. Sometimes bugs when you get an answer wrong. Also I would love if you could hear the audio when you tap on the sound icon in flash cards. ### 3/5 — Features not working *2026-03-26, version 3.6.1* After sometimes features stopped working properly ### 4/5 — Frustrating *2026-03-16, version 3.6.1* I am enjoying this app BUT it would be much better if after completing a story that story would be removed from the list of stories to be read. ### 3/5 — Could be great *2026-03-12, version 3.6.1* I love the idea but the actual app needs work - lots of freezing, not showing words, now showing full pages, not reading audio when you press play. I won’t pay for something that will frustrate me unfortunately. ### 3/5 — Very promising, can be better *2026-03-08* I love the format, the translation and the “save vocab” option, I wish I could also add more words to my vocab book and be able to revise all my vocab in the same app, I also would appreciate if I can review my vocab more often. Overall good app ### 4/5 — Great tool *2026-02-28, version 3.6.1* The prices are expensive. The app is amazing. ### 4/5 — Search option *2026-02-27, version 3.6.1* Four stars because although the app is good, there a couple of things that I feel would improve it. The ability to search for and/or save a topic, or particular article which you may have seen previously, as well as hide completed stories. ### 4/5 — Good reading and listening app but needs work *2026-02-25, version 3.6.1* I’m trying this app as a way to improve reading and listening Italian. So far it’s pretty good but there are some issues: Not great format on an iPad. Even with smallest text, not all lines of a story are visible. The curser is not in always in synch with the narrator. Like the flash cards and quizzes. ### 4/5 — Great learning tool *2026-02-14, version 3.6.1* Only thing I would fix is the bottom line of story because the tool bar covers up the last line when reading. ### 2/5 — Limited content *2026-02-10, version 3.6.1* This learning style seemed really promising but there isn’t much content. Just a few stories at each level and that’s it. It doesn't teach anything, it just includes the English translation for each word. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Quero cancelar *2026-06-20* Aplicativos que te cobram automaticamente depois de 7 dias e que não dão opção fácil de cancelar imediatamente sem custo deveriam ser ilegais e serem multados por cada cobrança ilegal que conseguem fazer. ### 1/5 — Free trial wasn’t free!!!! *2026-06-12, version 3.7.2* They say it would be free trial but then charge you 40$ right away. And you can’t get that back. ### 1/5 — Linguagem *2026-04-14* NÃO CONSIGO SELECIONAR O PORTUGUÊS! ### 1/5 — Registration *2026-03-28, version 3.6.1* App won’t go past language selection ☹️ ### 1/5 — Too fast *2025-12-31, version 3.6.1* Even the slowest introductory mode is way too fast. How am I supposed to learn French when they’re reading a mile a minute? ### 1/5 — Audio and sync issues *2025-12-04, version 3.5.2* Audio hardly ever works ### 1/5 — Latest update broken *2025-09-28, version 3.4.0* App won’t open. Just displays an unimplemented component message! ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-09-19, version 3.3.5* I didn’t mean to purchase the 99 dollar option after the free trial and I’m not eligible for refund, didn’t receive any warning through email or otherwise that the free trial would be ending. There was absolutely no notification that this free trial ending as mentioned. ### 1/5 — I canceled within 1 hour and still got charged *2025-07-20, version 3.2.8* They advertised a trial period and as soon as I tried it out I realized it was not what I expected so I canceled it within 1 hour of downloading it. I just got my bill saying they charged me for the month… ### 1/5 — Pirâmide *2025-07-18* App que é de graça pra baixar e pago pra usar, não tem meu respeito, taca esse preço antes de somar número pra você ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Satisfied! *2026-08-16, version 3.7.5* I learn french with this app. It really helped me. I was looking for this kind of app for long time ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-24* Very very good app to learn ### 5/5 — Great for learning *2026-06-23, version 3.7.3* I think reading is one of the most overlooked methods for learning a language. This app helps correct that for me. Gives me a wide range of topics, lengths and difficulties ### 5/5 — This app rocks all the way! *2026-05-25, version 3.6.5* The stories are interested free and short so it actually catch your attention and leave you wanting to read more so thanks ### 5/5 — Practice *2026-04-15, version 3.6.4* This is a very nice way to practice your lessons. ### 5/5 — Such good app *2026-04-02, version 3.6.1* Im learning French, and I just love that even though I don’t have premium I’m still able to read the books, just not with translation, I think it’s a pretty fair deal. Also I like that they test you. Such an amazing app ### 5/5 — Very helpful learning tool *2026-03-24, version 3.6.1* I enjoy reading every night in this app! It’s very helpful in helping me build my reading silks, vocabulary, and understanding the language’s natural flow. Love it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-04* Incredibly good for learning early language vocabulary. This is the best language learning app I've used ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-02-16* Muito bom, funciona tanto pra aprender histórias, quanto para cards de memorização ### 5/5 — Access to text *2026-02-04, version 3.6.1* All of the intended text is not available. Some of the text is hidden by the footers. The text is not visible because the page can not be moved upwards. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
