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.

Когда я стану богатой я задоначу вам
Listening time - то, что привело меня сюда. Очень плохо знаю английский , но в целом понимаю о чем говорится в подкастах и я будто слушаю друга . Спасибо!! Плюс мотивация углублять знания, что бы понимать больше ! Правда, я желаю вам всего лучшего
Can’t add new language- overall great
I’m working on a new language and was unable to locate a way to add it after I’d added my initial languages- it would be nice to be able to easily add in a new practice target language!

Hi Catalina, you can add more languages if you click to edit your profile then click on the languages. Cheers!
A fun language app
I’ve tried a few different language apps and they all have strengths and weaknesses. This one is particularly fun and engaging.
Problem with picking different card after swiping
Whenever I swipe cards for see more different cards then pick one, for somehow it won't apply the card I picked. Thus my partners get confused due to it shows the wrong card. Please fix this problem.

Hi, this was a bug we have now fixed. Please make sure your app version is at least 2.5.0. Thanks so much for your review!
Highly effective writing practice
This fun app/game lets me practice language areas I need and makes the process fun.
I needed an app to help get me from Italian B1 to B2 with writing practice so I can improve my spoken Italian. Duolingo isn’t useful at this level. Busuu’s writing is a chore. italki lessons are great but expensive.
Polygloss is perfect for fun writing practice. Highly recommended!

Polygloss
This app makes me think how to say things in another language, and I like the interaction with other players.
Good app
This is a really cool app! It makes me sad that not a lot of people use it. I don’t know if it’s because I’m new to using the app, but the most recent message I’ve seen anyone send was from March… most are from a few weeks or months ago. Barely anyone is online from what I can tell, and no one can reply to my matches quickly. Am I doing something wrong?

Good but lack features
Notification before 3 days end in the current match would be nice. One extra star when that is fixed.
Cool idea but backwards
The app sets you up so that if you’re learning language X, it partners you with someone else learning the same language. That’s not effective—you can’t correct each other and you’ll keep making the same mistakes. If I’m fluent in X and learning Y, pair me with someone fluent in Y and learning X!
Response from developer
Hi Mlevie, the app pairs you with whoever is open to practising that language, other learners or natives willing to help out. Think of it as a language meetup, or a hostel lounge. You'll encounter people with several ranges of proficiency. Any practise helps you learn, not just with natives, because it helps you increase your active vocabulary. But if you still want to practice with natives only, add some of them to your friends list and start a match directly with that person. Cheers!
Great way to practice formulating your thoughts
Simple concept. Pick one of four images and write a sentence about it. Great way to build your vocabulary and to identify gaps where you don’t know how to express a particular idea.
I generally try to write a couple sentences while looking up things as needed. After a week or so I’m already noticing an improvement in my ability to be able to say what I want to say without having to look things up.

Hi noxiousgg, this is great feedback! I'm really happy the app is making a noticeable difference in your language journey. Thanks for the review!
Perfect writing practice
I love practicing my target language and helping others with my native language. One piece of feedback: can you make the keyboard automatically switch language to the target language? Google translate does this and this would be a nice UX win
Response from developer
Hi Germanlearned, this is something we plan on working on in the future. Thanks for the brilliant review!
Super cute and fun
I really like it, seems well thought out and is fun. I love the affordability of it too <3
Great idea and excellent implementation!
Great app for practicing writing and speaking in different languages! It’s easy to get started, a lot of fun, and very useful for improving!
Response from developer
Hi wannabe_polyglot, thanks for the excellent review I'm glad you're having fun and finding our app useful for learning a language 🥰
Love this app
I love the concept, it is an awesome way to practice and improve your language skills. Additionally I love that it’s made by an indie developer who interacts with her users!

Hi Madfoosa, thank for the amazing review! Glad you like the app 😊
Спасибо!
Отличное приложение для тренировки языка от уровня А2. Здорово, что ты описываешь картинку, а потом твой текст проверяют.
