Please consider that you would make many people happy who have already given you a significant amount of money—and who will now most likely never recommend you to any friends or spend any more money on the new app. All in all, you wouldn’t lose anything, especially if you could stop maintaining the old version, which likely costs you money as well. It would be a win-win for everyone: loyal users get value for their money and stay happy enough to recommend you, while you gain new customers and can sunset the old app. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We take our customer feedback very seriously and will pass this along to our team, and we will be sure to notify our Rosetta Stone Classic subscribers if any transition options become available. ### 2/5 — Speech recognition very buggy *2026-09-06* Was forced to move from the old app, so I am doing the free trial. It’s unfortunate that I can not transfer progress or have any guidance on how much to skip based on all the work I did in the old app. The speech recognition is very slow, buggy, and will just not work sometimes for a basic phrase (hello). This means you can’t progress without getting frustrated. I probably won’t pay for this after the free trial. 2 stars as it’s still a fun method, unfortunately the two points above make it a bad experience. **Developer response:** We apologize for the difficulties encountered. We'd like to gather some more information. Please reach out and support team can look into this with you: https://www.rosettastone.com/support ### 3/5 — Add a one time purchase option *2026-09-06* I was really wanting to learn french and other languages and I was going to buy the option that is a one time purchase for a lifetime I was holding off from it but then when I went back to buy it, it said new subscriptions are not available and to get this app but there is no option and I beg for the developers to add that option. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We take our customer feedback very seriously and will pass this along to our team. ### 3/5 — Voice recognition not working *2026-09-03* In certain types of speaking exercises I cannot move forward. No matter how clearly I pronounce, how silent it is in the room am of pronunciation, all of my answers are marked as wrong and I cannot move forward. It is a problem with the app with my phone as has been suggested. Somebody needs to be testing for this. I’m still in the free trial. But if this persists I’m not going to be paying for an app that doesn’t work properly. Certain types of speech exercises do work, but other certain types fail 100% of the time. Update: pronunciation exercises are impossible. I’m screaming into the microphone and it’s still not picking up on what I’m saying. I end up repeating the simplest exercises over and over again because it is simply not able to process the information. Waste of time. Of course when I contacted the creators they told me that I had to use earbuds completely silent space. I am in a completely silent space and it works even worse with earbuds with a micro Also just got to “milestone”. It is absolutely mystifying. There’s the most confusing of photos that are supposed to tell you what to answer but they are absolutely mysterious. A lady sitting with a book on her knees and a thermos on the floor? I cannot guess what you want me to say. A couple in the background and a hand in the foreground? A dog stealing food? Definitely didn’t learn any of this. They may think that they are creating a story that makes sense but they genuinely are not. And the answers they are pull out of thin air are things you did not learn in the lessons. **Developer response:** We apologize for the difficulties encountered. Here are a few tips for microphone issues: -Wait a few seconds after the tone before speaking. -Uninstall and then reinstall the app. This will empty the cache for the app, and may resolve this issue. -Close other apps or browser tabs that might be using your microphone in the background. -Try moving closer to your microphone, or to a quieter environment. -Try to improve your network connection. Switch from cellular data to Wi-Fi, or try a stronger or more stable Wi-Fi connection. If issues persist, reach out to our support team: https://www.rosettastone.com/support ### 5/5 — Such great improvement in my French! *2026-09-03, version 1.1.3* I have 8 months to learn basics and this has already made me feel more comfortable with basic French!!!! I love how they approach learning and repeating and implementing! ### 4/5 — Helpful but no entertainment involved *2026-09-02, version 1.1.3* This is great!😊 but I wish it was funner ### 1/5 — Bait and switch for lifetime holders *2026-09-01* I hold a Lifetime Plan Unlimited Languages license. I bought it because Rosetta Stone marketed it as lifetime access to its language learning platform, not to a specific version of an app. Now the platform has moved to Sapphire, and lifetime customers are told to keep using Classic and pay a new subscription if they want the current product. No migration path, no discount, just a note that we'll be notified "if transition options become available." That is not what lifetime meant when you sold it. Rosetta Stone honored lifetime licenses through the move from CD to web. It should do the same here. Until there is a real path for lifetime holders, I can't recommend Sapphire to anyone, and I'd caution new buyers that "lifetime" at this company has a shelf life. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We take our customer feedback very seriously and will pass this along to our team, and and yes - we will be sure to notify our Rosetta Stone Classic subscribers if any transition options become available Rosetta Stone Sapphire includes brand-new advanced features that leverage cutting edge learning technology, built on a new modern platform and we will be constantly updating and refining these features. A recurring subscription offering allows us to continually invest in making the new app experience better for you over the long term. ### 4/5 — Sprachlern App mit ein paar Mängeln *2026-09-01* An und für sich macht es Spaß mit der App verschiedene Sprachen zu lernen, allerdings könnte man hier, gerade was die Aussprache angeht noch verbessern, oftmals hängt das Mikrofon Symbol und der Ton für das Sprechen kommt verzögert an somit muss man 1-2sek warten bis man den Text/Satz vollständig sprechen kann. ### 2/5 — Unacceptably buggy and non-performant *2026-08-30* The content is great, but this is clearly being tested against Chrome/Chromium and not WebKit, and you can really tell. It’s unacceptably bad. Trying to do lessons on my iPhone, my iPad, or on Safari on my laptop is an exercise in madness. The app stalls, can’t hear me speak, and is generally extremely glitchy and glacially slow. It’s very clear the developers are not testing this broadly enough. When I finally tried this in Chrome on my laptop, it was so, so much better. If you’re going to offer something across platforms it needs to actually work on all platforms. **Developer response:** Thank you for providing feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our products, so feedback like yours helps us to get a perspective on things we can do better. We will pass this feedback along to the appropriate team for review. ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-08-30, version 1.1.3* I’m loving the pocket version. Audio is still a little glitch. ## Frequently asked questions about Rosetta Stone Sapphire ### What languages can I learn with Rosetta Stone Sapphire?
