No way to start for free

App waits for you to fill everything out and then has an unskippable lifetime membership of $10

For what i can tell this is a bug and there should be some functionality for free

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your review. The behavior outlined is correct. As we generate a custom set of words for a tailored experience, we aren’t able to provide a free service at this time.

Cool concept, false advertising

I was excited about this app, however it seems like the developers overpromise in the App Store. My target language (Hebrew) is listed in the app store images, but I’ve tried multiple times to get English -> Hebrew working and it doesn’t even offer the option. I even found through some pretty serious sleuthing the feedback form on the developer website, and emailed mid last week and have yet to hear back. If you’re learning a less common language this probably isn’t the app for you, regardless of the advertising. If you’re learning a more common language, I’ll leave how well it works up for other reviewers to comment on.

Thanks for writing in, this bug was addressed in the latest update.

No free trial

Sorry, but how can I trust this app is going to work at all, before I pay 15 AUD? Please set something up because you are losing customers without providing a free trial

Great concept but Egyptian Arabic is mislabelled

I downloaded the app specifically for its ability to translate to Egyptian Arabic, but it isn’t Egyptian at all. It’s actually Modern Standard Arabic, which I’m not that interested in learning. I think the idea is great though and I’m looking forward to seeing it get better.

Response from developer

This will be improved in tomorrow’s update. Thanks for sharing this specific problem, it helps us fine tune adjustments.

Broken update

I got it two weeks ago. Worked ok. I wanted to change the level of the language so I deleted it and wanted to re-add. Brain dead recent update. Can’t figure out how to select English to Chinese and then get it to accept. Wait maybe for another week or two for an update to fix.

Response from developer

This is going to get fixed in tomorrow’s update. Thank you for posting!

Doesn’t translate anything more than a few basic words… not helpful at all especially if you’re more intermediate

Response from developer

Thank you for your review, this has been updated to have more intermediate and advanced replacements.

Collects too much Information

Title

Response from developer

Safari extensions on iOS to modify website data are required to have access to the website data. This is a separate topic relating to collecting data. This app doesn’t collect the url, rather it modifies the sandboxed webpage from an existing app on the device.

The developer embedded nationalistic phrases into the app

Why is there nationalism present in the app? Upon entering the app, a notification appeared stating that I am a terrorist. Since when is language learning persecuted on a national basis?

Good way to get better at recognizing words

The interface is a bit confusing, especially on iPad. Not exactly sure what the “can you already read in [language]” option does.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! I made an update and the iPad version is fixed

A fun new way for me to learn

I’ve been replacing foods in safari so I can learn how to order Korean food. Can’t wait for more languages!
