### 5/5 — Really helped!!

*2026-01-10*

Learning French with authentic lessons published daily has allowed me to keep on top of my French study. The app has also massively improved recently, so the bugs have been fixed. Look forward to continuing to see the library grow bigger!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We are very glad you enjoy your use of the platform! Thanks, Team Newsdle.

### 1/5 — Great idea but not a great app

*2025-07-05*

Slow app, needs subscription before you can read any of the articles which doesn’t allow you to test whether the app will be worth the purchase

**Developer response:** Hi There, thank you for the feedback. We always have one lesson per level available as free sample lessons and these are rotated on a bi-weekly basis. You can access these on the Website too. Thanks - Newsdle Team

### 1/5 — Zero stars

*2024-11-28*

I should have read the existing reviews more closely before subscribing. Paid for three months and immediately the app stopped working. It won't load - it's useless. I contacted support through the app days ago and have heard nothing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the issues you are facing. Could you please contact us at contact@newsdle.com and we'll look into these for you right away. Thanks - Team Newsdle.

### 4/5 — Responsive developer

*2023-12-05*

I initially had the same problem as the previous reviewers (app stopped working after purchase). I emailed them to complain and was surprised to receive a response within a few hours; they fixed the issue a couple of hours later. Ever since, the app has been working fine. I am quite pleased with it now; it was exactly what I was looking for.

### 4/5 — Responsive developer

*2023-12-01*

Like the experience of others, the app seemed to have stopped working after purchase. I used the “contact” feature to complain and they responded within a few hours and addressed the bug a few hours later. That was several days ago; so far so good. If it continues to work, I think it’s a great app; exactly what I was looking for.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the positive review, Gwvursxca! Please let us know if you have any suggestions for the platform. Team Newsdle.

### 1/5 — Stopped working as soon as I purchased a subscription

*2023-11-30*

I should have paid attention to the previous reviews I will be seeking a refund Avoid this app

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-10-11*

Luckily I didn’t pay. But the app is spinning it’s wheels and not working even on the free version. ?? I have already deleted it. Love the idea though.

**Developer response:** Hi there, can you please send us an email to contact@newsdle.com with your device information? We will look into this for you and our tech team will address any issues. Thanks - Team Newsdle.

### 2/5 — You have to pay to access anything

*2023-01-20*

Not enough free features to know if it’s worth purchasing

**Developer response:** Hi Charles, thank you for the feedback. We always have one lesson per level available as free sample lessons and these are rotated on a bi-weekly basis. Thanks - Newsdle Team.

### 1/5 — Stopped working once I subscribed

*2022-12-23*

I tested out this app and it worked fine. It stopped working after I paid for the subscription. The page is stuck at loading and wouldn’t work. I demand a refund.

### 3/5 — UI needs work

*2022-07-11*

Great app but UI needs work.

When opening app, it jumps from login screen and doesn't load current content well.

Lessons marked as complete still appear as “pick up where you left off”.

Buttons at bottom of screen don’t follow contours of screen.

Other small issues.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. If you are able to send through a list of any suggestions to contact@newsdle.com we'll look into these with our tech team for coming updates. Thanks - Newsdle Team.
