Great but no Taschkil
I really like the app and concept so far but i steuggle with completely new words since even though i picked the modern Standard arabic the words have no taschkil shown. Please add the option to include them!!!
Response from developer
Ahlan and thanks for sharing your thoughts. Since Mango's language courses are designed to teach through conversation, we don't always include the tashkīl. However, on your behalf, I've shared your request for the ability to enable tashkīl with our linguist and development teams. If you have any other feedback or more questions, let us know by emailing support@mangolanguages.com -Sarah
Broken now
I used to love using this app, but lately it freezes on the opening screen and I can’t open it, even with the latest update. Please fix it, I’d love to use it again!
Please
Add the conversation AI to Koine 😢
Tracks you and uses AI
I am surprised libraries are still supporting this app. It does some pretty invasive tracking for targeted advertising and AI training as is outlined in their privacy policy. In other words, you have to sell yourself in order to use this thing. And like many people, I am not a fan of AI or AI voices. Library Patrons deserve better.
Edit: Read their privacy policy. It speaks for itself.

Latest updates seem to have broken the app?
For me the app no longer gets past the initial load screen.
GOATED
Duolingo but better
the best one of them all
I’ve tried every language learning app I can find and this one is by far the best I love it so much! I learn so much better with it and there’s so many interactive ways to learn! It helps you focus on actually learning the language rather than skipping through lessons to extend streaks or unlock rewards like other apps

Please, for the love of God, add DARK MODE
I love the app, and it has the best Levantine Arabic program out there. But I cannot review vocabulary at night because the screen is pure white. There’s no dark mode and there’s no audio-only option for reviewing vocabulary.
Flashcard feature could be improved + certain languages don’t have enough lessons
Solid app, wonderful for learning the basics. With that said though, it’s a shame that korean doesn’t have as many lessons as a more mainstream language like spanish or german. Also, i would love to see flashcard feature have an option to be sorted alphabetically; this would make it easier to see if I already have two flashcards of the same word

Crashes within minutes
Consistently becomes unresponsive to touch and freezes requiring force shutdown. Completely unusable. Web version is no better and won’t play audio on Safari or Firefox on iOS
Response from developer
Thanks for sharing your experience. Please make sure your device has been updated, next try uninstalling and reinstalling the Mango app. If it continues to be unresponsive, please reach out to support@mangolanguages.com with your device model information and the version of iOS it's running. -Sarah
Language junkie
Great program that delivers a handful of important concepts seamlessly
No Kanji
This app really needs to incorporate kanji into Japanese learning. Teaching everything primarily in hiragana makes reading real Japanese more difficult, because Japanese is normally written using a combination of kanji, hiragana, and katakana.
A simple improvement would be to replace appropriate hiragana words with their standard kanji and provide furigana above the kanji for learners who still need help with pronunciation. This would allow users to learn how Japanese is actually written while still being able to read unfamiliar kanji.
Without enough kanji exposure, I feel like I’m learning to read Japanese in a way that doesn’t reflect what I actually encounter in Japan. Adding kanji with furigana would make the app significantly more useful for serious Japanese learners.

had to pay after three lessons
i got this app to help me improve tagalog for my school it was going well until i had to start paying after lesson 3
Response from developer
Kamusta? Thanks for giving Mango a try. While Mango does have paid subscriptions for access to our premium languages, you might be able to get free access to them through a subscribing organization, such as your school or a nearby public library. You can check in our app or email support@mangolanguages.com with your library/school name and location so we can check for you. -Sarah
Best language app
This is by far the best language app I’ve ever tried. It doesn’t use ai (to my knowledge), it’s basically free, and it has lessons that actually work in tons of languages! My only criticism is that you should add chapters on how to learn the different writing systems, and also to maybe add Esperanto. Thank you!

Love to Vietnamese!
I normally never write a review for an app, but I am especially inspired today to express my appreciation for this app. I have always wanted to improve my Vietnamese (my family speaks)but have always found it so difficult across various apps because of different pronunciations and the exaggerated formality of the language. As a speaker seeking to increase her vocabulary outside of a household setting, I commend your dedication to the language and the curriculum to actually teaching someone a language with the goal to put it to real world use with REAL conversation. My only complaint in the way the app is formatted. I think your mission is amazing but if the app was a little easier to navigate take Duolingo as inspiration maybe? Also vocabulary wise I am already familiar with many words as is but would love to add a unit one vocab word to a bigger vocab flash card list with more advanced words. Thank you MANGO team!

Wonderful app
I downloaded this app to learn spanish and it is very useful.
Real voices has to be a lie
I just sat through a phrase lesson that’s most definitely AI. Not as advertised at all
Great app and support
One of its kind app, it offers a learning vida a great listening experience besides exercises. The support team is rapid and responsive. Thanks a lot for such a great app.
There isn’t my native language
I want to learn English but there isn’t my native language to choose. I know this will sound complicated but I can understand simple English, so maybe at least let me choose English to learn English?
