User reviews

Can’t access if you switch phones!

Update: after posting this review a kind person named Sam reached out and helped me figure out that switching platforms was the problem. Im now fixed up.


I’ve been paying for this is app for a year and it worked ok on my Samsung and I got to do a few lessons. Then I had to switch phones and it kept asking for some google voices and refused to function. So I switched to an iPhone and it worked for a week or two then said i didn’t have an account but I’m still getting charged. I might love it if I could actually use it.

Response from developer

I believe that were able to get this sorted together just a couple of days ago and you have the access now. iOS and Android systems are managed by Apple and Google and they do not share subscription information, so a subscription from one system cannot work on the other. However, our team was able to find a workaround and was able to get you working on both iOS and Android. Please let us know if you have any questions (service@planeenglish.net); we would appreciate it if you can take another look and review us again. Thank you and please do reach out.

Improving comms skills.

Excellent and outstanding app. Very helpful.

Wish it had Australian radio calls

Seems like there have been a lot of improvements since last time I used it and I am enjoying it. I wish it could add an Australian version as the calls are a little different but it is still helping me a lot understand radio chat

Ok but too much touch required

This is a solid C+ app, but I really don’t like that you need to tap the mic icon to speak and the speaker icon to listen. It should be a fluid conversation like it is with Siri or Alexa or Whisper or 11labs voices. It feels pretty archaic the way it is, and because it requires full attention it’s hard to train for multitasking and distractions like will be given to you on cog and compass tests
