Excellent!
This app is working pretty good so far! As a homeschooled person I’d say this has helped immensely with learning French! Lessons are clear, straightforward and structured. Using a language learning app can be difficult because if you aren’t able to complete your daily lesson the words you learned the other day, don’t stick. I love Rosetta Stone but I suggest you have an extra thing for you to learn along with Rosetta, such as maybe having a practice where you write the words you learned, or going to a class and practice with Rosetta Stone after or before. Hope this helped, have a blessed day person who stuck around and read this. 🙃

Happy Learning
Works by intuition so to learn the language as if by learning by experience
Speech recognition is broken
Doesn’t matter what language or what device unless I’m using my laptop or a desktop. The speech recognition is never consistent. It’s always throwing up flags saying that my microphone is providing poor quality audio. sadly, I get this exact same problem whether I use iPhone android iPad or an android tablet. Seems to work absolutely fine on desktop versions with no issue whatsoever.

Rip off
Paid for the lifetime subscription on this and now it blocks me from accessing anything past lesson 1 on content that previously worked and paid for. Scammy company.
Won’t register my voice half the time
Great idea awesome but won’t register my voice half the time.
Could be good
I like that it gets you speaking right away but it teaches useless words immediately like “they run” and “she reads” - when am I going to say that? But the really annoying thing is that when I use the voice software, it doesn’t recognize what I’m saying. With current technology it’s ridiculous that it’s not recognizing what I’m saying with my speech issues - I’m saying elles courant with the nasal and everything. I’d wager it’s ableist because it expects you to know how to pronounce everything like an actor. I’d love to give it a good review because it’s clearly worked for people, but could never for me sadly.

French
Used Rosetta Stone as well as some other apps and was able to succeed in Paris and Canada. You have to be willing to put in the time
Could’ve been updated instead of made a “classic”
Soul be better if the lifetime subscription holders had access to the newer version of Rosetta Stone which absolutely could have and should have been just an update for the now “classic”.
Immersion is the only way to really learn a language
UPDATE: stopped working on my older iPad mini a couple days ago. I’ll restore 5 star rating if it gets fixed. I still believe in the Rosetta Stone approach but I’m very unhappy about the developer disallowing some of the older devices.
UPDATE July 2026: older devices work again. Thank you! Back to 5 stars!
UPDATE July 30 2026: it stopped working. Very frustrating!

If you rely on translating, I don’t think you can ever become fluent. Each language has words and phrases that simply cannot be translated. When you have a conversation in a foreign language and you have to translate the foreign words you hear into your native language and then translate your response from native back into foreign language, you will not only get tired and stressed out but your conversation will not be fluent and natural. What works for me are images. When learning the foreign word for flowers for example, I don’t translate into my native language but imagine a picture of flowers in my head. Then coming up with Blumen, fleures, flores, etc. in a foreign language conversation is much faster and requires much less brain power than translating. Those are just my 2 cents. This approach works best for me. I’m a foreign language major with 4 foreign languages. English is my 3rd language. Everyone is different and has their preferred way of learning but I encourage everyone to try the immersion approach for one or two weeks and see how it goes.
App works great. I only encountered one small glitch but that may have been a glitch on my device.

Voice
The voice recognition does not work. I have to say the same thing over and over before it finally picks up on my voice. The weird thing is that it DOES hear me, but it then just gives me a red line. Not even a correct or incorrect, it just stops listening.
Learning to speak, Swedish
Best product on the market for learning in another language
Amazing
I think this app is amazing as it helps you remember words and phrases and does active recall during the lessons and you can try again if you get stuck I’d recommend this app to someone trying to actually understand a language and how to read it
Rosetta
La mejor app creanme
Classic or discontinued ?
He comprado una licencia de Rosetta Stone y creo que estan tratando de dejar atras la primera versión para presentar esta “nueva” versión. Lo primero que he notado es que pretenden no restaurar las compras de la versión anterior. Totalmente injusto para los que pagamos el lifetime. Deberían restaurar las compras de licencia a los usuarios que ya pagamos el lifetime.

Mobile app is really buggy
Swiping to the next card or lesson isn’t great. You have to hit it in just the right. if you don’t it will keep activating one of the activities on the screen instead of going to the next exercise
Rosetta’ Stone
I love how this program teaches me Spanish by speaking and thinking in Spanish.
Pronunciation
The app is just awful and hearing you.. they need to sort out the microphone issue. I’ve got a new iPhone and I’ve tried everything and it doesn’t work. Other stuff is fine in the app but it makes it unusable.
Voice Recognition
Seems like speech recognition is not as optimal as it could be. Using native iPhone mic, as well as Bluetooth headphones, does not seem to help with intelligibility. I’m coming from a Spanish background & have had issues with pretty easy voice lessons, responding with just “Si” or “No” is not recognized even with a completely silent background. Otherwise, a great learning application 👍🏼
