I practiced repeating words and sentences. It was a fun way to learn for beginners or former speakers trying to relearn **Developer response:** Hi Luna Cola, thank you for the kind words and for being a yearly subscriber. I’m really sorry the app and website aren’t opening—that’s frustrating. We’re investigating a temporary outage. Please try: force-close and relaunch, restart your device, switch Wi‑Fi/mobile data, and install the latest app/OS updates. If it still won’t open, reinstalling is safe—when signed in, your progress is stored and will sync back; your subscription stays active. Once you’re in, please contact our support team through the app—we’ll follow up and make it right. — Jessica ### 1/5 — Does this even work *2026-06-09, version 3.5.8* Doesn’t work blue screen with parla logo says and a loading circle never opens. ### 5/5 — Ошибка *2025-11-10, version 3.5.8* Отличное приложение, но нету входа по icloud или facebook, не могу сохранить свой прогресс. Исправьте пожалуйста ### 5/5 — Is the app down/gone? *2025-10-08* I have a yearly subscription. The app doesn’t open anymore. I tried emailing support on the website but the website doesn’t open either. I tried looking for an update or public statement for the app but found nothing. I don’t wanna delete and reinstall the app because I’ll lose all my progress. I love the app I just wish I could get an update. I hope it gets up and running again. **Developer response:** Hi Luna Cola, thank you for the kind words and for being a yearly subscriber.

Очень разочарована, приложение нравится. Ау, разработчики! Как с вами связаться? :( ### 1/5 — Відсутність української мови *2024-08-21, version 3.5.7* Відсутність української мови, обрати мову в принципі неможливо, якщо вчиш англійську то автоматично обирає російську. Навіть замінити на англійську, аби просто пограти ігри неможливо. Шкодую, що скачала ### 4/5 — I got scammed!!! *2024-01-29* After a free trail period ended. When I opened the app it said I can try a free week trial!! It said it big bold letters free trial for a week if I click and it said it will be 4$ per month or $53 per month. But it said free trail for a week!!! So I clicked I got charged right away for the entire year!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I tried contacting them and there’s no way to contact them. I can send pics of proof but it’s not letting me on this review either. **Developer response:** Hi there! 👋 I'm Alex from the Parla support team.
