### 4/5 — Very good start

*2026-01-08, version 4.0.2*

It would be worth paying for this app if it had Argentine speakers pronouncing the words.

### 4/5 — Copado

*2015-10-30, version 3.2.1*

Para los Argentinos que vivimos en el exterior por mucho años...

### 2/5 — Audio does not work for me

*2015-05-01, version 3.2.1*

Audio does not work for me

### 4/5 — Legit but no audio

*2014-03-05, version 3.2.1*

The Argentinian Spanish in here is pretty accurate and thorough- definitely approved by native Argentinians that I know and from what I've seen in Argentinian TV shows. However, the audio does not work.

### 5/5 — Que bueno

*2012-12-01, version 3.1*

I'm half Argentinian, so every time my dad makes a Spanish remark in his Argentinian way I look it up here and laugh. Funny app to catch up with this Argentinian slang. Buen app, divertido para los que no conocen tanto y quieren aprender todo lo que han escuchado.

### 4/5 — amazing

*2012-11-16, version 3.1*

someone actually thought of crating this.. Lots of fun!

### 3/5 — Pretty cool, but with a few problems

*2012-11-03, version 3.1*

Even though many of the translated terms are correct, there many, many incorrect ones. Considering that those incorrect are the most sensitive ones, it may be unfortunate for a foreign to entirely rely on them. 
It is clear than no Argentine has reviewed this app (at least not a Porteño).
Finally, the recorded phrases in the quiz are pathetic.

### 2/5 — Cool Idea but Needs Improvement

*2012-10-07, version 3.0*

I was really excited by this app but later starting losing interest due to spelling, grammar, punctuation, and accent problems I saw with both the Spanish and English. The quiz section's cool but even when answering with the right answer it still told me I was wrong. I love the easy-to-read layout and graphics that were used (definitely top notch) but there could be more of an effort to actually proof read that things that are being put up.

### 4/5 — Buenisimo pero....

*2012-09-08, version 3.0*

Great app for helping to understand some of the Argentine and Porteno slang, BUT would like to maybe see some example sentences below the definitions and maybe an option for flash cards to study. The multiple choice quiz is great but flash cards would be a better way to study - in my opinion.

### 4/5 — Groso!!

*2012-08-31, version 3.0*

Good little guide to lunfardo. Useful for anyone learning castellano en argentina or living in argentina.

### 5/5 — Awesome app, definitely worth the download

*2012-08-20, version 3.0*

Clearly made by people who are under 30 and actually hear Spanish slang all the time.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-11-30, version 4.0.2*

The app is just a blank screen

### 1/5 — Sound

*2020-04-07, version 4.0.2*

The audio won’t play

### 1/5 — Used to be fun

*2016-12-25, version 3.2.1*

This app stopped working about a year or so ago.

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2016-04-24, version 3.2.1*

Not working anymore???

### 1/5 — no vale la plata

*2015-07-16, version 3.2.1*

Either crashes entirely or defaults to the adverts to the other language apps and you can't use the app itself.

### 1/5 — Deceived

*2013-05-30, version 3.2.1*

Its no longer working! After a short time, it lost the sound,and requested me to purchase the extension. I did, to no avail: the sound never returned!!
No customer support. Shall never deal with these supplier!

### 1/5 — Quiz

*2012-09-29, version 3.0*

El quiz anda mal. 
The quiz is incorrect.

### 1/5 — If the price was .00 you'd be paying too much!

*2010-10-07, version 0*

It is nothing more than a list of 89 words/phrases that MAY have a different usage in Argentina. gaucho, really? You think we don't know the word gaucho. Plus a flash card like 'quiz' to go through the 89 words. Not worth the time I spent downloading it!

### 2/5 — No audio

*2024-08-03, version 4.0.2*

The audio option seems to be unavailable, i fe as though it is essential to hear the word

### 2/5 — Needs example sentences; limited dictionary

*2019-02-07, version 4.0.2*

Very few entries per letter, and no example sentences for those given. It's one thing to know what it means when I hear it, but it's another to use it properly myself. Please add example sentences and expand your dictionary!

### 5/5 — Love it! Me super encanta

*2018-04-16, version 4.0.2*

As a porteña myself I wanted to see if this app measured up to our dialect- it does!! Really a great way to reconnect on some “lunfardo” and introduce our castellano to the masses.

### 5/5 — Ms

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-02-01, version 3.1*

I am going to Argentina with my Argentine husband. The expressions are very accurate as I have tested them all on my husband. This app is very fun and requires a user with a sense of humor.

### 5/5 — Good
