Has promise
It’s a fun and cute and a little bit addictive app (this is a good thing in a learning app) but not really there yet. A bit amateur and sloppy and I suspect very AI influenced. . It’s not always intuitive how sections work. It adds erroneous words like people’s names and letter pronunciations to its flip cards. It isolates phrases for the listener to repeat but often includes the last word from the previous sentence. I definitely feel like it’s on the right track, but I don’t have time for all these errors right now. If I was learning just for fun I might try longer, but I don’t so I am switching to another app.
Edit: to people complaining about it costing money—seriously? Are you providing free apps? Sure that would be nice but I do not expect people to work for free. Also, it’s very easy to cancel during the trial week. Just go to your Apple subscriptions. If you missed that you have just seven days free, that’s on you.

It’s good but one tiny flaw
When I am learning words it has me tap them and it adds them to “known” words. Only hearing something once doesn’t count it as known in my book. I need to be able to say it and know what it is just as easily as hola, por favor, or gracias for it to be known. I have to remove those words to “learning” but have no clear way to relearn them without having go through the lesson again where it forces me to put them to known again. That needs addressing. Please look into that. Also this app needs a widget. It doesn’t have one.

Why should I pay for something I can’t even try
Great Concept - Poor Execution
I was excited to start using Parrot because I love the idea of tools that it adds on top of other popular Spanish immersion apps (e.g. D.S). Unfortunately, the app has been unreliable for me and the quality of content is not as high as other apps.
My biggest complaint is that key features in the app oftentimes just randomly won’t work. I often have to highlight phrases multiple times before the app will translate them. The typical response is that it just says “Parroting” and won’t give a translation. It eventually does work if I try multiple times on the same phrase, but that’s frustrating. Besides that, flashcards are glitchy sometimes, and I have also had individual videos that would not play.
Less important, but still worth mentioning, is that the quality of a lot of the videos is pretty mid. I’m on about the 12th lesson, and I find many of the videos to be unengaging. The writing / storylines are uninteresting, the acting is poor, and the sound quality is amateurish.
Parrot has the core for a great app. It’s just not there yet.

Subscription and Scams
The app presentation is well put together, but the inability to access subscriptions on the app, website or App Store is widely concerning. The issue with it forcing a subscription for everything as well is off putting; I even had an recent issue with it picking a yearly subscription when the monthly was clearly pushed. There was no email or notification about the trial ending early, or that it’d charge soon. I wasn’t made aware of the amount till after it hit the bank account, which was incorrect in my previous statement.
All of this is very disappointing in an app, especially with being so excited about the way it teaches Spanish.

😔
I got the app, and it said free? But it set a plan up and I couldn’t exit out of it! 🥲 I was looking forward to using this and couldn’t so I was a little disappointed I would still be interested in using it but I don’t want to pay! I thought it was free…
Parrot the goat
It’s good so far
It’s so fun
Love it
No trial period
I wish there was a free trial period that didn’t automatically enroll me in the paid program. I’m not going to bother to put my payment info in until I know I like something, but then I’d be willing to pay once the period ends if I like it
Good
It actually helped me learn Spanish better than the other apps
Bet I'll do this thing all day
Omg it's amazing
Jordyn’s tuff
It’s already helping me learn btw I’m bored
Need prononciation with sounds

Probably should be free
It would be better if they made it free from what I’ve seen it is a good app I just wish they made a free option because why would someone need to pay to learn a language that could be naturally taught.
So trash
First off we gotta pay and other apps like Duolingo . We don’t have to pay so why do we have to pay and it feels like you’re just against Duolingo for some reason like what did thay do bro and I learn a lot from them like in every ad it’s always how y’all app is better than Duolingo like they didn’t do nothing so yeah this is a bad app. Don’t try it because you’re just gonna have to pay for some reason and every time you try to click for free you still have to pay bye

0 stars. has no option for free use.
you cannot use this app without paying first. i would understand ads and being persuaded with paying for premium and so on but to not even allow me to get off the ‘create an account’ page without forcing me to pay is ridiculous. i will not be forced to pay for this app, i would have considered doing so if i was able to get a glimpse of what i might learn with this app but to learn a language is and should always be free and even if i were to pay, its not going to be because i was forced to. 0 stars!

Good 👍😊💯
Not free
Before you download this take note that it’s not free and doesn’t offer any free content only a free download
Im disappointed
This app is advertised to be better then Duolingo but then you have to pay for it to even do a single lesson?! At least Duolingo is free with adds.
