User reviews

Love it!

I’ve only been playing for a few days and I can already see an improvement. Such an amazing app for daily practice I absolutely love it and will be telling all my friends!

Great for smaller languages too

I love Polygloss for many reasons. I enjoy the variety of its prompts, the easy/approachable expectations it has for learners, and the openness of answers I’m allowed to enter. It encourages the user to explore what they can say, regardless of their language level.

One of the most special things about Polygloss has to be the customization of the language options, though! It makes it very easy to enter even smaller languages (minority languages/understudied languages/constructed languages) and find people to practice with, or add friends who are learning them too. I very much recommend it for practice in this way.

Nice, clean app

The app works very well and has a nice design. Doesn’t look like an indie project at all. You get exactly what’s promised. Some images are very good to refresh some basics, some challenge you to check out new vocabulary in the language you are learning. There is also a Discord Server where you can directly talk to the Dev. Love it!

I can practice Toki Pona with my friend

Title

pretty great, has some issues

Namely the fact that the AI can’t work with toki pona, and certain tests with the minigames cause me to get things wrong due to the order of words (that wouldn’t matter usually). I do love this app, and understand why those issues can’t exactly be *easily* fixed, but you should take that into consideration.
