Amazing

Picking up Japanese quickly with this course! It is great when you start learning any language. It gave me a big boost when I started learning Italian and French in the past. Japanese is my 5th language!

Corrupt company

If you sign up for the free trial and cancel on time, they still bill you! Just look at all the reviews scroll down and see the negative reviews with people have been charged when they should not have been. That’s just playing corruption and greed. The first red flag to look for is it’s not gonna be in your subscriptions and under Apple. They will make sure you can’t cancel like that. The honest people that are developing apps!
Do not use these people go somewhere else please you won’t be treated right here! There are reviews of people canceling the app and still being billed the next year. This is just criminal? Try using Langua these guys are honest street shooters

Finally Have Up

I have purchased a subscription multiple times. This app is as pointless as all the others. They teach you conversational language for some contrived interaction between native speakers, but nothing useful to ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE. Words like left, right, up, down, colors… take fixes of lessons to get to.
