Switcher
One feature that would make the app even better is the ability to switch between learning English and French without creating a new account or contacting support. Many people in Canada are learning both official languages, so having a simple language switcher while keeping separate progress for each language would be incredibly useful.

Good
I love that it’s Quebec French but I wish there were more features like Duolingo has. For example I wish you could click on a word to translate it because sometimes I forget the meaning and I need to go google it to check
Ça ne fonctionne plus.
J'adorais l'application ! Suite à la mise à jour d'hier, l'application bugue. Je suis bloquée. Elle m'a déconnectée de mon compte et refuse mon mot de passe, même après l'avoir réinitialisé. Elle indique que le changement a réussi, mais impossible de l'utiliser 🥲 Aidez-moi, s'il vous plaît !
Response from developer
Bonjour et un grand merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous signaler ce problème ! Votre vigilance nous a permis d'être très réactifs et de déployer un correctif dès hier après-midi. Tout est rentré dans l'ordre : vous pouvez vous connecter à votre compte et reprendre votre apprentissage dès maintenant. Nous espérons que cette réactivité vous permettra de retrouver le sourire (et peut-être même de transformer vos 3 étoiles en 5 étoiles si l'application vous plaît à nouveau !). Bonne continuation dans votre parcours !
Kids videos and two weird bugs pls fix
I’m in grade 6 and I use this app to learn French. I would’ve given it five stars if not for the fact that if I try to get into kids videos I just get a “unfortunately this content isn’t available” and it tells me to go back. Also, if I go from the end of a video in the learn area to its series’s spot in the explore area if I try to go back after doing something there it makes me do most of the questions again and then says “trail closed“ and then tells me to restart the app. Please fix this. I really like the kids videos and the changing areas bug is really annoying. : (😩 Update: THE KIDS VIDEOS ARE NOW COMPLETELY GONE???!!! Also,new sound bug: sometimes the sound just stops. Pausing and unpausing the video fixes it,but it’s annoying because if it does it once it will do it more often later in the video.

Question
Is this app specialized in Quebecois français? J'adore la version du Quebecoise.

Do not mix
I downloaded the app and selected that I wanted to learn English, but it includes content in French, and I didn't select a single word in French.
Problem
When I tried to download the app it said that my phone couldn’t support the current version but I could download a previous version would I like to download it. I did, but when I open the app it asks me to update to the new version yet when I press ok it tells me it can’t would I like the older version. This circle continues until I close the app. So is the older version available or not?? 🤷♀️

Amazing app but some suggestions
I genuinely love this app and its free media content, especially since there are no ads—an impressive departure from other language apps. One enhancement I’d suggest is adding audio so we can hear the words selected and the related questions during activities. Additionally, incorporating a Canadian French text-to-speech feature would be fantastic, allowing us to hear the words with a genuine French Canadian accent, as most TTS options currently use France French. Overall, it’s an excellent app that I highly recommend.

Best of the best
Very good app, honestly the best for learning Canadian French. And there’s no ads at all , I’d give it 1000 out of 5 stars. Thanks!
PLEASE add slow pronunciation!
Okay, the app is a good way to learn Quebec French, I myself am a Canadian. But, one thing I don’t like about this app, is that it doesn’t have slow listening audio like other language apps like Duolingo. I am partially stuck on one lesson because I cannot hear what the TTS is saying due to how fast it is going. I am confused, please add this in a later update!

Even teachers love it
I found about this app from my French teacher. I speak advanced French as I was in a French immersion school, but I had to change schools to a normal school, and my teacher suggested the app as a teaches Quebec French like expressions words that are different than European French and so much more from listening to the podcasts and shows you can really understand the Quebec accent

Overly focused on copying Duolingo
This app looked great in the ads and I was looking forward to practicing French with Quebec TV. But it really didn’t meet expectations. Video content is short and scattered across a Duolingo-style short term memory game. That said, I think there’s a lot of potential here such as a feature that allows users to get help understanding something right in the video player.

Recently discovered this app and love it
I have been messing with Duolingo and Babble for a while trying to learn French. But Mauril actually teaches Quebecois! I would like the ability to reset my skill level… I may have set it too high and I need to manually scroll back to my actual level every-time I open the app. (If there is a way to reset it I’m missing it)

Great initiative and app
As a first gen immigrant I absolutely love this app and recommended it to my family right away:) shoutout to the team you guys are doing a good job for a great cause, keep it up!
bug
wont let me start a lesson or go back to review any lessons
Sovereignty!
This app is the kind of thing that can help unite Canada against foreign aggressors. Do your part by learning both of Canada's official languages and gain an understanding of a culture that you may have written off as adversarial. My Canada includes Quebec!
Response from developer
We are very happy to hear that our app is a useful tool for learning and for bringing together the various communities that live in Canada.
Great for written and listening
Only thing that would make it five stars is adding speaking exercises, I feel like that’s the only skill I’m missing out on.
Response from developer
Thank you for your comment. We are currently working on developing this new feature. Please stay tuned for the release in the coming months.
Bug
L’application plante souvent quand je change la vitesse de lecture, que j’active les sous-titres ou que je mets la vidéo sur pause. À chaque fois, elle se ferme et revient à la page d’accueil. Dommage, car le contenu est intéressant, mais les bugs rendent l’expérience très frustrante.

Perfect for Canadians who already have a very basic level of French!
Thank you CBC and Mauril team! I do like that this new version of the app is more linear and has more content. I do miss the videos being a more prominent part of the learning, but it did make it slightly less convenient to do lessons on the go. Perhaps add in the option to turn on more video lessons? Or maybe some video lessons that can be done in parallel to the main lesson track? i.e. "Episode 1" video lessons that can be done while working on the regular "Episode 1" lessons?
Other than that, I like the video content on the "Explore" tab. I really like that they're rated by difficulty and include key phrases.
Please market this app more and put more funding into it! This is a great opportunity to fight against the other language learning apps so people have a reliable way to learn Quebecois French vs. Parisien French!
